- In Telugu culture, rather than saying 'bye' to depart, people often say వెళ్లొస్తాను (veḷḷostānu), which literally means 'I will go and come back'.
- Using the formal వీడ్కోలు (vīḍkōlu) in casual conversation can feel jarringly heavy, as it is often reserved for formal speeches or literary farewells.
- When parting with elders, it is common to perform 'namaskaram' by joining hands rather than simply using a verbal phrase.
