| English to Japanese translations [Non-PRO] | | English term or phrase: Have a good trip | | Friend is going to Japan from the US |
| | | よい旅［ご旅行］を; 気をつけてね | Explanation:
よい旅［ご旅行］を: yoi tabi [go-ryokoo] o
気をつけてね: ki o tsukete ne
"よい旅を" (yoi tabi o) and "よい旅［ご旅行］を" (yoi go-ryokoo o) would be the translations for "have a good trip" that are used most frequently. After "tabi [go-ryokoo] o", "して下さい" (shite kudasai: please do) or "楽しんで下さい (tanoshinde kudasai: please enjoy) is thought to be omitted.
"気をつけてね" (ki o tsukete ne) literally means "take care", but "have a good trip" is often used in this sense. If this is to your friend, in particular, this may be more suitable.

The difference between ¥"旅¥" (tabi) and ¥"ご旅行¥" (go-ryokoo) lies in the degree of politeness. Both ¥"旅¥" (tabi) and ¥"旅行¥" (ryokoo) are general terms for ¥"trip¥" or ¥"travel¥", and ¥"ご¥" (go-) is used to show some politeness. This can be attached to ¥"旅行¥" (ryokoo), but not to ¥"旅¥" (tabi), though.
