    What is the difference between "güle güle" and "hoşça kal"?

      Güle güle is said to someone leaving BY THE PERSON STAYING. It means "smilingly/laughingly/happily" and is short for "Güle güle gidin" -- so it's like saying "Go forth from here happily!"

      Hoşça kal(ın) is maybe slightly more often said by the person who leaves (not a hard rule, though--can be said on the phone, or when two people part, or even by the person staying). It means "Stay nicely/well."

                    "Hoşça kalın" is plural or polite way to say "Hoşça kal".

                                      From what I know, hoşça kalin is the formal and more polite way of saying good bye and hoşça kal is the informal.
