In Korean, when you say goodbye in 존댓말, there are two types of expressions, and both have the word 안녕.

Answer 1

True

Question 2

(You) Leaving & (others) Staying

Answer 2

안녕히 계세요 (an-nyeong-hi gye-se-yo)

Question 3

(You) Staying & (others) Leaving

Answer 3

안녕히 가세요 (an-nyeong-hi ga-se-yo)

Question 4

True or False.

When natives say, 안녕세요, 안녕히 계세요, or 안녕히 가세요, they always pronounce EVERY single letter clearly.

Answer 4

False.

Answer: They don’t always pronounce EVERY single letter clearly. So often times, what you would hear is just the ending part, “세요”

So, sometimes, you can sound more fluent by just saying 세요 for all of these ocassions.
