Today you will say goodbye in French.
Au revoir means goodbye. (In Kinyarwanda: Murabeho.)
Say it slowly: au – re – voir.
Gatete : « Au revoir, Keza ! »
Keza : « Au revoir, Gatete ! À demain ! »

Look: Salut is a friend word for hi AND for bye.
La maîtresse : « Au revoir, les enfants ! À demain ! »
Les élèves : « Au revoir, madame ! »
La maîtresse is the woman teacher.
