How is the word "さようなら" used in Japanese? Is it used for both hello and goodbye?

 The word **"さようなら" (sayōnara)** is used in Japanese to say **"goodbye."** It’s typically used when you're parting from someone for a longer period of time or when you don’t expect to see the person again soon. It’s not used for "hello." 


For saying hello in Japanese, you would use **"こんにちは" (konnichiwa).**


So, to clarify:


- **"さようなら" (sayōnara) = Goodbye**

- **"こんにちは" (konnichiwa) = Hello**


These words are used differently, so make sure to use **"さようなら"** when you mean goodbye and **"こんにちは"** when you want to greet someone.
