Au Revoir, Sayonara, and...


English speakers sometimes use foreign phrases instead of saying good-bye. Of many foreign phrases meaning "good-bye," I didn't like to use or hear "Ciao" because it sounded too light. But, recently I came to know that in Italian, "Ciao" is very formal and it almost means "I am your slave." Then, am I using this phrase? Nope. I always use "Take care" with no reason.
