The French language has exposed me to some niceties of human nature ... its not that I have lost faith in the English language on performing this simple yet elusive task ... but its just that this particular phrase has stuck with me for longer than I expected it to.
"Au revoir" simple transalated is the farewell greeting that the French exchange. A deeper understanding of the culture and the language gets one to see the sentiments in the words being used. "Voir" translates to the verb "to see". Hence "Au revoir" could be transalated to "Till we see each other again" or "Till we meet again". No good byes ... no so long ... no fare wells ... only a promise to meet again.
