=== Parting ===
When you are leaving a conversation, you can indicate this by describing what you are doing that will stop you from talking further. Some examples:
* When leaving for somewhere else: ''mi tawa''
* When taking a break or going to bed: ''mi lape''
* When beginning or resuming work: ''mi pali''
* When noticing that you should be getting food: ''mi o moku''
* When your game starts: ''musi mi li open''
Often, others will respond to this indication with a related well-wishing - "tawa pona", "lape pona", etc. - or with a general one.
Much as with greetings, you can also just depart.
=== Well-wishing ===
