The difference between "farewell" and "goodbye" is that "farewell" is quite formal and it implies that we are leaving permanently or for an extended period of time. "Goodbye" is casual and used in most situation. It's just a way of saying see you later and doesn't suggest any real permanency. Ex: Okay, goodbye. I'll see you next week. Ex: I don't know well I'll see you again so, farewell.
