“Dasvidaniya” (до свидания) is a Russian phrase meaning “goodbye” or “until we meet again.” It is derived from “до” (do), meaning “until,” and “свидания” (svidaniya), which refers to “meeting” or “seeing.” The phrase implies parting with the hope or expectation of seeing the person again in the future. While it is often used in everyday conversations, its tone can vary from casual to formal, depending on the context. Beyond its linguistic meaning, “dasvidaniya” has gained cultural significance through films, music, and global exposure, making it a recognizable farewell phrase even outside Russian-speaking communities.
