Das vedanya is a phonetic spelling of the Russian phrase до свидания (do svidaniya), meaning "goodbye" or "until we meet again". It is a formal way to say farewell, typically used with people you don’t know well, those older than you, or in professional settings.
- Literal meaning: "Until the next meeting" — combining до (until) and свидания (meeting/seeing).
- Pronunciation: "da svi-da-nye-ya" (with stress on the third syllable: nye).
- Common variations:
- Dasvidaniya is the most accurate romanization.
- Do svidaniya is also used, closer to the original Cyrillic.
- Das vadanya appears in some artistic works (e.g., Will Wood’s song lyrics), but this is a stylized spelling, not standard.
✅ Note: The phrase is not related to the 2008 Indian film Dasvidaniya, which uses a pun on the Russian word but is unrelated in meaning.
In Russian, informal farewells like пока (poka, "bye") are used among friends and family.
