In Japan, people say “Oyasumi (おやすみ)” to wish someone at night when they part ways or before going to bed. Oyasumi meaning in English is “Goodnight”.
How To Say Goodnight in Japanese
According to Mark Goulston, a Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at UCLA’s Neuropsychiatric Institute, saying “Goodnight” to your significant other “tells your partner that, regardless of how upset you are with them, you still want to be in the relationship. It says that what you and your partner have is bigger than any single upsetting incident.” He couldn’t be more right and this applies to relationships of all types, including between friends.
