When you're on vacation in Jamaica, there's no escaping Jamaican Patois.

This rhythmic Creole language is spoken almost everywhere you go on the island, and you know what?

The accent is an absolute delight to the ears.

Now, what if you could pick up a few of those Jamaican Patois phrases and add some island flavor to your vocabulary?

Just imagine how cool you'll sound when you chat with your friends and family back home.

Now, let's keep it simple. Here are 10 ways to say goodbye in Jamaican Patois. 

"Likkle more" 

One of the most common ways to say goodbye in Jamaican Patois is by using the phrase "likkle more."

This expression translates to "little more," but it effectively means "see you later" or "goodbye."

It's a casual and friendly way to part ways with someone, indicating that you'll meet again.

"Mi gaan" 

A straightforward way to say goodbye is by simply stating "mi gaan," which means "I'm gone."

You use this expression when you're leaving a place or ending a conversation.

"Lata"

Much like "likkle more," "lata" translates to saying "later" in English.

It's a quick and friendly way to let someone know that you'll meet them again later.

"Inna di morrows" 

When you want to let someone know that you'll see them the next day, you can say "inna di morrows." 

"Walk gud"

You probably heard an elder Jamaican use this expression.

It is a heartfelt way to wish someone well as you part ways.

"Mi ago me a move"

When you're getting ready to leave, you can inform others by saying "mi ago mek a move."

"Mi tun mi back"  

A popular and somewhat superstitious way of saying goodbye in Jamaica is "mi tun mi back."

This expression is often encouraged, especially at funerals or gatherings near cemeteries, to ensure that the spirits of the deceased do not follow.

"Mi wi si yuh" 

This expression is a slightly longer way to let someone know that you'll meet them again.

"Mi ah guh weh lef unno" 

Use this expression in a group setting.

It's a polite way to let the group know that you're leaving. 

"Ketch yuh pon di strangs"

The expression is an old-fashioned way of telling someone you'll see them on another day.
