Sayounara (さようなら). The correct pronunciation is SAH-YO-NAH-RAH. "Sayounara," while being a literal goodbye, has an air of being very final.

If you are just leaving to run a few errands, or go out for a little bit, "Itte kimasu," is more appropriate. (Pronounced EET-tay KEE-mahss, it means "I'm leaving and returning.") or, if you are taking leave of a close friend you will see again soon, "ja mata nee" (Jah mah-tah nay, "later.") or "mata ashita" (mah-tah ah-sh-tah, "See you tomorrow.").

These last two are very informal and should not be used with parents, strangers, or superiors.

いって来ます (ittekimasu) - 'I'll be back' - you are leaving

いってらっしゃい (itterasshai) - 'come back soon' - you are staying

The Japanese word for "goodbye" is "sayonara" but if you're saying goodbye to someone that you'll see again, or a place like a restaurant where you go regularly, you can say "ja matta," which means "well, until next time." In Italian "goodbye" is "ciao," but it's one of those words you can also use for "hello."
