tata

Casual British farewell

Tata is a casual, slightly playful way of saying goodbye, chiefly British: Tata for now!

The word has a breezy, informal tone and often appears in the reduplicated form tata or as the fuller phrase ta-ta for now.

It sounds old-fashioned or deliberately cute to many speakers. (Capitalized Tata is an Indian surname and corporate name.)
