Hello Sir,

Good Morning. I am Tushar. During lesson 3, in a listening exercise, I heard a sentence 'BY FOR NOW'. Can you please tell me the meaning of it?

thanks

Hello Rtushar,

Welcome to the English-test.net forums.

I think what you heard was actually "Bye for now."

This is just a shortened form of saying "Goodbye for now", which of course is simply a way of bidding farewell.
