See you
Or good bye, farewell, etc.
And this is not Russian or Ukrainian. This is definitely Belarusian (Byelorussian). Being a Belarusian native speaker I know it for sure.

Comment: "Thank you very much!!
The writer is from Minsk and I've been learing Belorussian,but she told me to learn Russian instead, as that is what she speaks.So I was confused as to the translation because I couldn't find it in any Russian dictionary!!!"

: Sorry to disappoint you girls but this is not Ukranian but Belarusian. Ukranian would be Do pobachenia. Almost but not exactly the same

I don't think the question here is the origin, but rather the translation, which is "Good-bye" or "see you"

Dear Peter
You know the meaning now, but would you mind telling us where the person who’d written the letter comes from. :-)???
As a native speaker of Belarusian I would say that this is 100% Belarusian expression of farewell, as it corresponds to it in every single letter. But as I do not know Ukrainian, I wouldn’t continue the discussion…
Thank You.
