what does it mean?

[jiang]

Dear teachers,

When I watch an American film, I always heard something pronounce like 'Chiao' (I don't know whether I spell it correctly or not) when people depart from each other. I think it should be 'Bye'. What does this 'Chiao'
mean? Does it 'Bye'?

Thank you.

It's Italian, and it's spelled ciao. It does mean Bye.

It's used to mean Hello too, right?

Ciao.
