2015年12月17日 · Sorry66, even to me bye for now suggests that you're expecting to see/hear from that person again. I don't think that bye now as an abbreviation of it is an AusE thing - it's just my opinion. I would use it even if the conversation hadn't gone on for longer than I wanted it to.

2005年2月14日 · I get 222,000 hits for "bye for now" and 11,900 hits for "bye bye for now". But the 222,000 hits contain the 11900 hits for "bye bye for now". So there really are only 222,000-11,900 = 210,100 hits for "bye for now". (And I leave out the cases where a hit for "bye for now'' is really an instance of ''goodbye for now'' or "good bye for now".

2011年9月6日 · My father was from the American South and added tne adverb, now, to soften almost any courteous expression: Bye-bye, now. Take care, now. Don't you worry, now etc. I find myself doing the same all the time. For us it makes the …

2012年11月19日 · Judging by the above posts (all AmE), I'd say YES, there does appear to be a difference.

2022年6月22日 · By for now means the same as see you soon, maybe goodbye for a short period. For now, as in I'll look after your dog, for now means for the time being, ie. for a short period. It's as though we project the moment, now, to the period, a short time.

2008年5月26日 · (A)Okay I'm leaving now. (B) Bye bye then. (B) is saying bye bye because, and only because, (A) has announced imminent departure. Here, the use of then is natural. Consider a slightly different dialogue. (A) Bye bye. (B) Right, so you've got to go now? Here it would be very odd for (A) to begin the conversation with "Bye bye then."

2013年5月30日 · Hi, In the US, people greet me quite often with "hi there". I always feel slightly offended as I feel anonymous (because of the "there"). In the UK, I also get annoyed when people say "bye now" as if I was boring them. Do you have insights on the meaning, if any at all, conveyed by these two...

"He imputes to the church now what he otherwise would have given us bye and bye - during the Millennial age." "Bye and bye" is the only thing I don't understand.
