(abbreviation for all buenas greetings)

This is an informal greeting and you can use it with your friends and family whenever. It’s sort of a universal “what’s up?”.

This is a very formal way to greet somebody you don’t know or somebody you respect a lot. Use it in the morning.

If you walk into a business meeting at 2:00 pm you should totally use this greeting. This is the afternoon formal greeting (It would be very weird to say good afternoon to a friend, wouldn’t it?)

Just like buenos días and buenas tardes, it’s a formal greeting used at night, equivalent to “good evening” in English. However, when saying goodbye or before going to sleep, you say “descansa” (from the verb descansar, meaning “to rest”).

Do you usually say “morning” instead of “good morning”? If you do you’ll use this greeting a lot. It has the same context and you can use it at any time of the day.

This is an informal way to ask somebody how they are or how they feel. If you want to be more formal you can drop the S and go with “¿Cómo está?”

This is another informal way to say “how are you”. It’s also similar to “¿Qué tal?

see you soon (less used than hasta luego)

This is formal. You use it when you want to say goodbye to somebody you may see soon (or not), but you’re not sure when.

This is semi-formal. If there are chances to see this person again within a couple of days you can use it. Otherwise it’s better to use “hasta luego” or even “adiós”.

"Hasta mañana"A formal or informal way to say “see you tomorrow.” You can replace mañana with other time expressions, like “hasta la próxima semana” (“see you next week”) or “hasta el lunes” (“see you on Monday”).

Adiós is informal. We use it mostly as a permanent statement, which means that you don’t expect to see this person soon or ever again. It’s what you could expect to hear from a boyfriend or girlfriend if you break up.

This is technically Italian, but it’s widely used as a very informal goodbye. It’s used similarly to “peace” in English. Used between friends.

This literally means “we see each other”, but it’s more used when talking about the future. This is typically used if you know when you’ll see the person, and generally that’s fairly soon.
