"kal" simply means "stay". It is imperative for 2nd person (informal) and 3rd person. When you use it for formal or plural "you" it becomes "kalın". i.e. "Hoşça kal" becomes "Hoşça kalın" you can see "hoşçakal" and "hoşçakalın" written as a single word commonly this should not surprise you. One important note: "Kalın" means "thick" when it is used itself as an adjective. "Kalın kağıt" means "thick paper" or "kalın sopa" means "thick stick"
If the root words a pleasantly stay, does this mean that this is a phrase used by only one party? In other words, who uses this phrase: the person leaving, the person staying, or both?
It is normally used by the person leaving to the person staying :) The person staying would say "Güle güle" :)
