After German small group last week, I said ‘Tchüss!’ (goodbye), to which one of the members responded, “Tschau, make it well!”
Confused, I turned around and said ‘Huh?’ and thought for a second. Suddenly I realized he was saying the English version of “Mach’s gut!” which is a typical good-bye phrase, like saying ‘Best wishes’ or ‘all the best,’ but literally translated means ‘Make it well!’
So next time you say goodbye, wish someone to ‘make it well!’
