Moi moi!

For the past couple of days, I've been paying attention to what people actually say when they leave. In addition to Hei hei, Moi moi, Heippa and Moikka, here's what I've heard. Do you have something to add?

  • Soitellaan. - Let's call each other.
  • Viestitellään. - Let's send each other text messages.
  • Ollaan yhteydessä. - Let's be in touch.
  • Huomiseen. - Until tomorrow.
  • Palataan (asiaan). - Let's get back to the topic.
  • Nähdään. - See you! (In spoken language, this turns into Nähää.)
  • Kiitos seurasta. - Thanks for the company.
