I did. Are you coming? I am not. 3. Literally, “it is not.” See above. 4. There is no single word for “hello.” Which greeting is used will depend on the relative ages, number (singular or plural), and/or race of the speakers.

Said by the person leaving; “selamat jalan” is said by the person staying.
