There are several ways to say goodbye in Toaq.
- It's never wrong to say baıbaı or shaıdı, for example when you're parting ways or hanging up the phone.
- More lengthily, you can say Shaıhıo ka or Shaıhıo jí súq ka (I hereby bid you farewell).
- There's also the silly jadıgıq (which is like "unhello").
