Wondering if someone could tell me what the meaning of "pa" translates from Polish into English.

TIA

"Pa" or used as "papa" means "bye" / "bye bye"

It is usual to use it twice together as 'pa pa!'

I never say just pa on its own.

I would say that "pa pa" is more typically used by and in situations involving little kids.
Mother will often say to her child when someone is going away: "Zrób pa pa". (In order to wave hand to someone).
I sometimes use papa on internet communicators to friends. It seems quite warm and a bit funny (like talking to child).
Single "pa" is entirely reserved for adults. Especially women will say "pa" for "bye". It somehow doesn't suit men... ;-)

What you say is not relevant since Polish is your 2nd language. But then, you do not display skills that would suggest any language is your first.

Slightly off posted topic, but in Vienna, "Pa, pa!" also means 'Bye!', just as in colloquial Polish-:)

Thought this might be interesting. LOL

Isn't it "ba" by any chance?

The translation for PA into English is TA TA - which came from Balck Country Slang -- ta ta or ta ta abit.
This is the closest translation I can get and I have heard it said once or twice when saying goodbye to people

black country slang lol... It means 'bye'; commonly used among girls, that's it.
