The English phrase "goodbye" is translated into Apache as da'anzho.

da'anzho is used to express farewell.

Meaning: farewell (intj)

Did you know?

The Apache language features 'glottal stops', the small catches in the throat found in da'anzho, which are distinct consonants rather than just pauses.
The phrase da'anzho is built from roots meaning 'good' and 'it is so', functioning more like 'it is good' than a standard 'goodbye'.
Because Apache is a group of closely related languages, the way one says 'goodbye' can change significantly between the Western Apache and the Chiricahua dialects.

Hello, I am Douglas, an absolute Navajo language enthusiast. My passion for this beautiful language, coupled with my love for sharing knowledge, has inspired me to write numerous guides on common phrases and words. I enjoy exploring words from "Angel" to "Yucca" and everything in between. In my leisure time, you'll often find me experimenting with traditional Navajo recipes, strolling amidst nature, or enjoying a robust cup of traditional Navajo tea. Apache is spoken not far from Navajo, and it has become another language close to my heart, so you will now find my guides to Apache here too. Haash yinilyeii (that's how I say 'that's me' in Navajo)!
