"Tidak, selamat jalan."

Translation: No, goodbye.

[nlpettersen]

"Selamat jalan" doesn't really mean "good-bye." It's more like "safe travels," "safe journey."

[ArturoPeaP]

It makes a lot of sense. Jalan means "road/course", while tinggal means "to stay/live". That's why you say selamat tinggal when you leave, and selamat jalan when the other person leaves.

So this one is for when you close the door on a door-to-door salesman

[fkaRz]

yes, lol

[RuizAPR]

So "goodbye," basically. Or "take care."

[Shaymian]

This one will be very useful in Bali

[Sasza-Ola]

Why can't I use "Bukan"?

[nlpettersen]

If I'm remembering correctly, bukan has a very specific use, with a noun to show what something is not. For example, it is not a cat: "itu bukan kucing"

[Kristen494170]

To hopefully help a little more
Tidak negates a verb (ie "itu tidak pergi" meaning "it does not go")
Bukan negates a noun (ie "itu bukan kue" meaning "that is not cake")
It is tricky at first but you catch one fast.

[sleepy667588]

Also to add on to what @nlpettersen said, from what others have said, tidak is usually paired with verbs, so overall both tidak and bukan serve as a negative word thingy

[FionaFrank]

It is indeed have a good trip or safe journey (I'm half Indonesian), but duolingo says that's wrong....

[akucintaDani]

They're looking for just "goodbye" for a translation

[ScottRenken]

Ouch

[Twodu2]

You also can say "sampai jumpa" for goodbye

[KyleeLuedk]

But most people don't really understand this and I try to help but I'm Malay

[Josy931403]

I agree with nlpettersen!

[nlpettersen]

'-)

[AntonSie]

Shouldn't 'have a good trip' also be approved?

[Peiyee17032008]

Why i don't understand

[Peiyee17032008]

Why i don't understandhhh

[Peiyee17032008]

[Blooper_KINGPIN]

This one is to use when that TV salesman knocks on the door!
