What is the word that Germans use to say goodby that sounds like 'chus'? Is it a derivitive of 'cheers' maybe? |

LIke others have said, it is "tschüss" and you pronounce it like 'shoes' in English with a 'ch' sound at the beginning.
However, as a linguist, I do know the derivation of the word. It is indeed from "adjüs" like 'adios' for goodbye, but is not from Spanish, but from Portuguese. |

tschuss ...but with an umlaut on the "u" and the special letter for the double ss...(where is the key) ??? |

More a derivative of the Italian's saying "Chow", but Cheers works for the English language. |

The first guy is right, it's a form of the "Ciao" that they say in Italy. I live in Germany and they eiher say Tschoos or Ciao when you leave a store or restaurant. |

I heard that it was from adieu. Lots of people say it though, along with Tschau (ciao) and Ade (which is definately from adieu) |
|

No, it is Tschuess! It is a derivative of Ciao, and mainly said in southern Laender (states). |

It's written Tschüss, used to be written Tschüß though. Spelling was made a bit simpler a few years ago. I'm not sure where it comes from though. Just means "bye" literally. Not derived from another German word at least. |

Agreed that it is tschüss (pronounced chues). It's a German version of ciao. |

You mean "tschüß" and it is used, when you leave (like "good bye"), popular in the North, but known in whole Germany.
It is based on "adjüs" (german) and "adÃos" (spanish) and "adieu" (french); imported by travelling people (seamen). In the roots it means "goog bye", "farewell".
"Cheers" (when drinking) means in German "prost" ("prosit"), "zum Wohle" or "hau wech den scheiß" ;-)
"Ciao" ist italien and means "hello" (when you come, when you leave), but in Germany most used as "good bye". |

The word is "tschüß" and it is a corruption of the French "adieu". It hasn't got anything to do with either Italian "ciao" or English "cheers".
Tschüß is used all over Germany, but does not originate in the South as someone suggested. A lot of people there would use "Servus" to say bye-bye. It is one of the few words that came from Northern Germany into standard German. |
