Definition
慢走 is a polite fixed expression used when seeing someone off. It literally means 'walk slowly' but functions as a warm farewell equivalent to 'take care' or 'goodbye' in English. You can also use it to gently ask a guest not to leave yet, like 'stay a little longer'. It's a key phrase in Chinese hospitality culture — always said with a friendly tone when a guest is leaving.
f.e.
(farewell expression) take caregoodbye (said to someone leaving)(polite request) don't go yetstay a while
