That's totally weird...but maybe not, now that I look at it - "tchau!" for "bye" looks a hell of a lot like the German "tchuss!", which means the same thing. I wonder if both are cribbed from "ciao"?
And I would have expected a "y" sound in "Até já!"
Have studied any of the other Iberian-area languages (i.e. Provençal, etc)? (That goes for all y'all, btw)
