DO NOT SAY 'GOODBYE!' - We DON'T say this anymore! Say instead:

(upbeat music)

- Hello everyone and welcome back to English With Lucy.

Hola a tothom, benvinguts a "English with Lucy"

Today we're going to be discussing the word goodbye

Avui parlarem sobre la paraula "goodbye" (adeu)

and why you need to stop using it.

i del per què necessiteu deixar d'utilitzar-la

Believe it or not, we hardly ever say goodbye.

Encara que no us ho penseu, nosaltres gairebé mai diem: "goodbye"

It's something that just doesn't roll off the tongue

És una cosa que simplement no surt de la llengua

and it sounds quite formal.

i sona molt formal

You might see it written down or hear it in films,

Segurament, l'hageu vista escrita o l'hagueu escoltada en pel·licules

but on a general day to day basis, you won't hear goodbye.

Però en el dia a dia, no sentiràs algú dient: "goodbye"

In this video,

En aquest vídeo,

I am going to give you loads of alternatives to goodbye.

us diré moltes alternatives de dir:"goodbye"

I'm going to give you casual and slang ones

us diré altres maneres més casuals o informals de dir adeu

that you can use with friends and family,

que podeu utilitzar amb amics i familiars,

and I'm also going to give you more formal ones,

També us en diré de formals

more old-fashioned ones,

Així com de més antigues

and ones that you can use in business situations.

I d'altres que podeu utilitzar en un context de negocis

I will also try to differentiate

També intentaré diferenciar

between American and British English as I know

Entre Anglès americà i anglès britanic, ja que

some of you find that really interesting and helpful.

Alguns de vosaltres ho trobareu molt interessant i útil

So this video is perfect for improving your vocabulary,

Aquest vídeo, doncs, és perfecte per a millorar el teu vocabulari

but if you want to improve your listening

però si voleu millorar el listening

and pronunciation even further,

així com la pronunciació encara més

I highly recommend the special method

Recomano el mètode especial

of combining reading actual books

de combinar la lectura de llibres

with listening to audio books.

Amb el listening dels audiollibres

Let me explain this method.

Permeteu-me explicar-vos aquest mètode.

Take a book that you have already read in English

Agafa un llibre que tu hagis llegit en anglès

or a book that you would like to read in English.

o un llibre que que t'agradaria llegir

I've got loads of recommendations

Tinc moltes de recomanacions

in the description box down below,

A la caixeta de la descripció

and read that book

I llegeix aquest llibre

whilst listening to the audiobook version.

Mentre escoltes el listening en una versió d'audiollibre

It sounds excessive, but it works.

pot semblar massa, però funciona

Reading alone will not help you

només llegint, no us ajudarà

with your pronunciation in English

Amb la pronunciació de l'anglès

because most frequently, how a word is written

Perquè sovint, la manera com una paraula és escrita

does not correspond with how a word is pronounced.

No és correspon en la manera com és pronunciada

Look at they're, there and their, for example,

Per exemple, fixe't en "they're, there i their"

they are all spelled differently,

Tots tres s'escriuen d'una manera diferent

but all pronounced in the same way.

Peró es pronuncien de la mateixa manera

Reading a book alone will not show you that.

Llegir només, no us farà veure això

However, if you then introduce an audio book,

Malgrat tot, si l'hi afageixes un audiollibre

you will start to learn these differences

Començaràs a veure'n les diferencies

and you will start to learn the pronunciation of words.

I començaràs a aprendre com pronunciar-les

If you listen to a word, as you read it,

Si escoltes la paraula mentre la llegeixes

your brain will start to make the connections

El teu cervell començarà a fer conexions

and next time you see that word,

I així, la propera vegada que vegeu aquesta paraula

you'll know how to pronounce it,

la sabreu pronunciar

and next time you hear that word,

i la propera vegada que escolteu aquesta paraula,

you will know how to spell it.

Sabràs com lletrejar-la

It is such an effective method

És un mètode molt eficaç

and the best part is that you can get one free audiobook,

I el millor es que pots tenir un audiollibre gratuït

that's a 30-day free trial on Audible

Mitjançant una prova gratis de 30 des a "audible"

if you click on the link in the description box and sign up,

Si premeu l'enllaç de la descripció i us hi apunteu

then you can download one of my audio book recommendations.

Podreu descarregar un dels meus audiollibres recomenats

Give it a try, it works.

fes-li un cop d'ull, funciona

Right, let's get started with the lesson.

d'acord, doncs comencem la lliçó

I'm going to begin with casual ways of saying goodbye.

Primerament, traduiré maneres casuals de dir "goodbye"

The first one I think most of you will know it is bye.

La primera en la qual penseu molts de vosaltres és "bye"

Bye on its own is really frequently used.

"bye" és per si mateix molt utilitzat

It's just so easy to say

És molt fàcil de dir

and it's a word you can say with a smile.

I és una paraula que és pot dir amb un somriure

Bye, bye.

"bye, bye"

Number two, and it's an extension of that

Numero dos, aquesta és n'és una extensió

is bye-bye or buh-bye.

és "bye-bye" o "buh-bye"

Now we use this in a different situation

Tot i així, les utilitzem en situacions diferents

to just bye on its own.

per dir "adeu" només

And it's important that you know this,

I és important ho sapigues

bye-bye is a little more cute

"bye-bye" és més bonic

and little more childish and infantile.

i més infantil

It's something you'd likely say to a child, bye-bye.

és quelcom que l'hi diries a un nen, "bye bye"

However we do use it sometimes

no obstant peró, ho utilitzen de vegades

if we're trying to be very cute or friendly,

quan volem ser simpàtics i amigables

bye-bye, see you.

"bye-bye, see you"

That brings me onto my next one, which is see you later.

Aixó em du a la paraula seguent, que ñes "see you later"

See you later, we often say see ya instead of see you.

"see you later", ho diem com alternativa a "see you"

See you later.

"see you later"

This is one that we say if we already have plans

Aquest el diem si tenim la intenció

to see someone again in that same day.

de veure a una persona de nou aquell mateix dia

If we don't have plans, we can say number four

si no tenim plans, podem dir llavors la numero 4

which is, see you soon.

que és, "see you soon"

If you want to be really casual, you can use number five

si vols ser casual, pots utilitzar la numero 5

which is just see ya and that is very, very informal.

que és tant sols "see you" i que és molt informal

Now, number six is a little bit more advanced.

D'acord, la numero 6 és una mica més avançat

You will look really good

Quedaràs molt be

if you use this around a native speaker.

Si l'utilitzes amb un nadiu

This one is, I'm heading off!

aquesta paraula és, "i'm heading off!"

This is a good way to start to leave an event

Aquesta és una bona manera de deixar un esdeveniment

that you do want to be at anymore.

on ja no hi volgueu ser

To head off is a phrasal verb meaning to begin to leave,

"head off" és un phrasal verb que vol dir, començar a anarse'n

to head off.

per sortir.

Saying, oh, I'm heading off, I'll see you soon,

Dient:" i'm heading off, i'll see you soon"

is a great way to start the goodbye process

és una bona manera d'acomiadar-se

which we all know can be a little lengthy.

i que tots sabem que pot ser una mica llarg

A shortened down version of that,

Una versió reduïda d'aquesta paraula

number seven, is just I'm off, right? I'm off, see you.

La número 7, és "i'm off, right? i'm off, see you"

That's very casual again.

Això és molt casual

Another one that we can use which is very British,

Una altre paraula que podem usar que és molt britanica

is I'm going to make a move or I've got to make a move.

"i'm going to make a move" o "i've got to make a move"

To make a move is to leave.

"to make a move" is to leave

I need to make a move.

"i need to make a move"

In America, they're more likely to say,

Als estats units, és més probable que diguin

I'm going to make tracks or I've got to make tracks

"i'm going to make tracks"

and that means to drive away.

I això vol dir "drive away"

You're making tracks with your car.

"you're making tracks with your car"

All of these phrases are normally preceded with, right.

Totes aquestes paraules, venen precedides de "right"

You say right, as you're getting up, right, I'm off.

tu dius "right" , tal com ho estaves pensant, "right, i'm off

Right, I'm going to make tracks.

"right, i'm going to make tracks"

Another one, again, very British

Una altre paraula que és molt britanica

is, oh, I've got to get going, I've got to get going.

és "oh, i've got to get going, i've got to get going"

Practise that one on your own a couple of times

Practiveu aixó per vosaltres mateixos un parell de cops

because I've got to get going, I've got to get going

"because i've got to gt going, i've got to get going"

is quite a tongue twister, twister.

és com un embarbussament

Oh! I can't believe the word tongue twister

Oh! No puc creure la paraula embarbussament

was a tongue twister for me, that is hilarious.

és un embarbussament per mi, això és increible

(laughing)

(rialla)

Okay, number 11 is I must be going.

d'acord, la numero 11 és: "i must be going"

Oh, what's the time? I must be going, I must be off.

"oh, what's the time? i must be going, i must be off"

A very American one is I've gotta take off,

Una de molt americana és:"i've gotta take off"

I've got to take off.

He de treure.

In British English, take off is really for clothes,

En anglès britànic, "take off" és només per la roba

to take off your clothes and to take off as an aeroplane,

treure's la roba o el moment que un avió s'enlaira

an aeroplane takes off.

un avió s'enlaira.

But in America that means to leave as well.

Però en accent americà aixó vol dir anarse'n també

14, very, very casual is have a good one

la 14, que és molt casual és: have a good one

and that means have a good day,

i que vol dir: que tinguis un bon dia!

but it's very warm and friendly, have a good one.

peró és molt amigable, "have a good one"

And the last one, number 15 is talk to you later,

i la darrera, la número 15 és "talk to you later"

talk to you later.

"talk to you later"

It's a bit of an extension of, see you later.

és una extensió de "see you later"

Talk to you later implies that you might send a text

"talk to you later" implica que estas enviant un missatge

or make a phone call to them later that day, right.

o els fas una trucada més tard, D'acord

Let's talk about formal professional and old-fashioned ways

Parlem de maneres més professionals, formals i antigues

of saying goodbye in English.

De dir adéu en anglès

The first one is very American

El primer de tots és molt americà

and it's used in business or service situations.

i s’utilitza en els negocis o situacions de servei.

It's, have a great day, you have a great day.

És, teniu un gran dia, tens un bon dia.

And I was so surprised when I went to the USA

I em va sorprendre tant quan vaig anar als EUA

because everyone wanted me to have a great day.

perquè tothom ho volia tenir-me un bon dia.

And on the first couple of times

I el primer parell de vegades

I'm just like, oh that's nice.

Sóc com, oh, està bé.

And then just when I realised that everyone said it,

I llavors només quan em vaig adonar que tothom ho va dir,

I realised that no one really wanted me to have a great day.

Em vaig adonar que ningú realment volia que tingués un gran dia.

The British version of this would be, have a lovely day

La versió britànica d’aquest seria, tingueu un bon dia

and that is slightly more sincere.

I això és una mica més sincer.

We don't use it as often so it sort of means more.

No l'utilitzem tan sovint així que significa una mica més.

An alternative to this is take care, or you take care,

Una alternativa a això és Tingueu cura, o tingueu cura,

or you take care now, and that's quite warm and friendly.

o tingueu cura ara, i això és molt càlid i amable.

If you want to say goodbye to somebody

Si voleu acomiadar-vos d'algú

that's going on a journey or is driving away,

això està passant per un viatge o està conduint,

you can say have a safe journey

es pot dir que té un viatge segur

or have a good journey, that's British,

o tenir un bon viatge, això és britànic,

and in American English, they're quite likely

i en anglès americà, són molt probables

to say, drive safe or you drive safe now.

per dir, conduir segur o conduir segur ara.

Number five, more formal, it was nice to see you

Número cinc, més formal, era bo veure't

or it was nice seeing you.

o era agradable veure't.

Either or, nice to see or nice seeing.

O bé, agradable de veure o veure bé.

If you've just met the person for the first time,

Si acabes de conèixer persona per primera vegada,

it was nice to meet you, it was lovely meeting you.

va ser un plaer conèixer-te, va ser molt bonic conèixer-te.

Nice and lovelier, interchangeable of course.

Bonic i més bonic, intercanviables, és clar.

The next one, very, very posh.

El següent, molt, molt elegant.

This is very old-fashioned is farewell.

Això està molt passat de moda, és comiat.

You might see this one in books and movies set in the past.

Potser el vegeu en llibres i pel·lícules establertes en el passat.

We don't tend to use it now,

No solem utilitzar-lo ara,

but I think it's important for you to understand it.

però crec que és important perquè s’entengui.

Another old-fashioned one is, tara.

Un altre antiquat és, tara.

Now this is slang but it's very old-fashioned,

Ara, això és argot però és molt antiquat,

so I put it in this list.

així que el poso a aquesta llista.

Older people might say tara

Les persones grans podrien dir tara

to you which means goodbye, obviously,

a tu el que significa adéu, òbviament,

'cause it's in this video.

perquè està en aquest vídeo.

And another one is tata or tata for now.

I un altre és per ara tata o tata.

And again, very old-fashioned and a little bit posher.

I de nou, molt passat de moda i una mica petita.

The last one,

if you want somebody to keep in contact with you,

L'últim,

si voleu que algú ho faci poseu-vos en contacte amb vosaltres,

you can say stay in touch,

es pot dir que es mantingui en contacte,

and that's a nice way of ending a conversation.

i això és una manera agradable finalitzar una conversa.

That's the end of this lesson, I hope you enjoyed it

Aquest és el final d'aquesta lliçó, esperó que l'hageu gaudida

and I hope you learned something, I really hope you did

I que hageu aprés quelcom, esperó que hageu aprés

Correcte, anem a començar amb la lliçó.

Començaré amb una frase casual

(laughing)

So casual, I can't even say the R.

Tan casual, que no puc ni dir la R

(upbeat music)
