What does "tschau" mean?

[Quasar]

Could somebody tell me the English translation for the German word "tschau".
I have looked in an English-German dictionary and have had no success.

Kind Regards to the one that helps.

"tschau" is just the German spelling for the Italian "ciao" and means
"bye" in English.

Thanks for all the people who replied to my request for help, I am extremely
grateful. It was the first time I have ever posted a message to this
newsgroup.

All I could find the other night when I used my English-German dictionary
was Tschus (emphasis above u) which translates into the informal cheerio. My
naivety told me that "'Auf Wiedersehen" was mostly used in Germany to say
goodbye.

It was all to do with a first time net conference I had, yes I have
upgraded to IE4 and wanted to try out the net conference facilities. I
decided I wanted to exercise my cognitive abilities, so I selected a
German-European colleague, having learnt a little German ( could not handle
the French accent) a while back when I was at school. By chance I chose a
nice and helpful German colleague, who although not over competent in
English, knew more English than I knew German. Yes it turned into a
wonderful learning experience!

I also note that Albrecht Kolthoff who replied to my request comes from
Dortmund. Dortmund just so happens to be twined with Leeds, the city where
I live. In Leeds we have a place in the city centre called Dortmund square,
which has this large statue of a man holding a beer barrel. When I looked at
this statue, I always relate Germany to the following. A country which has
wonderful beer(tried it .. on a par with non commercialised English bitter),
wonderful sausage(tried them at a beer festival), high percentage of highly
qualified engineers (can tell by the cars) and a government that about
society cares (no homeless people, good unemployment benefits, super public
transport system, no litter on the streets).

Kind Regards

Marcus

Actually, the original meaning of the Italian is "[I am your] slave".

>It's the Germanized spelling of the Italian word "ciao",

Which is itself a modification of the Venetian word "scia(v)o" (Standard
Italian "schiavo") which has the same origin as English "slave" and German
"Sklave".

>but unlike the original, in German it is used to say good-bye

"servus" is the only greeting I can think of that does double duty. Or is
"ahoi!" or "moin!" ever used for leave-taking?

The other words for "bye" mentioned in this list, like "tschuess" and
"tschoe", have nothing to do with "ciao". They come from French "adieu."
(The connexion is a little clearer in Badisch "ade".)

Just a short clarification: the Italian "ciao", besides "bye", also means "hello!". The German "tschau" can only be used as "bye".

So 'Brautschau' would be 'goodbye to the beer'?

Splitting it as Brau-tschau rather than Braut-schau is an example of a
Blumentopferd.
