You're absolutely right! The phrase "farewell, it's good to see you" is not considered a farewell.
Here's a breakdown of why:
- "Farewell": This is a clear-cut farewell phrase, used to bid someone goodbye.
- "It's good to see you": This is a greeting phrase, used to express pleasure at seeing someone.
Therefore, combining these two phrases doesn't create another farewell phrase. It's more like a combination of a farewell and a greeting, which can be confusing or even contradictory in certain contexts.
