	Got help from my husband, who says all he heard when he was in Germany, as an exchange student a long time ago, was "gutten tag", and never heard the answer given. I was looking for Greek.

	Auf Wiedersehen isn't accepted for German. It's true that it translates more exactly as "see you later" than "goodbye", but the same happens with "au revoir", which appears as the answer for French (instead of "adieu").

	Mostly a lovely quiz, but please accept more transliteration options for Russian? The current ones are confusingly inconsistent: e.g. "spasiba" reflects the pronunciation, not the spelling, which would transliterate directly as "spasibo" (both are quite common and should ideally be accepted); on the other hand, "zdravstvujte" is very literal to the spelling: the first "v" is not pronounced and so is often omitted in transliteration, while the "uj" can also be transliterated "uy" or "ui", and the final "te" can also be "tje" or "tye".

	p.s. similarly, in "do svidanija", the "j" is often rendered as "y" or omitted, and the "s" can also be "z", reflecting the pronunciation. Forgot this in the first comment as I didn’t struggle with it in the quiz, going for the simpler "poka" :-)

	arigato is goodbye in Japanese. Konichiwa has 1 N.

	bubbagumma: The correct spelling is "Guten Tag", and it's included :) dancastro: I added "Auf Wiedersehen" now anyway, since it's so well-known and so close to "goodbye". Pit_trout: Thanks a lot! Damn transliterations, became 18 variants for Zdravstvujte now, haha :) cantthinkofaname: Arigato is "thank you" according to all sources I can find. And konnichiwa is actually correctly spelled with two N's, but I added the other version anyway. Thanks!

	For the chinese yes and no, the chinese technically don't have a yes or no, it depends on the question asked. Aside from that great quiz.

	Arcaon:	Dec 5th, 2010 at 14:48 GMT	1 point
	Yes, I've read that, but those included are what they use instead. They mean like "true" and "not true" if I remember correctly.

	cantthinkofaname: wrong and wrong. Why bother?

	The Turkish goodbye is OK, but it's said by the person who leaves. There's a different word for the person who stays. It's "Güle güle". There's another word for the leaving person too, which is "Allahaısmarladık".

	ulashima: Fixed, thanks!
