As an informal way of saying goodbye which also indicates that you care for the people you're saying goodbye to?
Yep, Poles say it as well. I wonder who else uses it then and where it originally came from?..

Yeah pa pa is informal in Romanian. More formally it would be "la revedere". And if I was
talking to a family member or a lover I'd close with "pup" in Romanian. Does Polish have
something like "kiss" as a closer?

Sure does Tarvos, buźka - which is the diminutive of buzia, "kiss", so essentially zoenetje. But Polish has a
ton of ways of saying goodbye.. lulu, do zobaczenia, narazie, naraźka, do widzenia, żegnam and so on.
I know! Als we maar zo'n hulpbron voor het Nederlands hadden zou ik nu een kindle kopen, zonder er een seconde
meer over nadenken. Maar zulke website voor het Nederlands moet bestaan toch? Of niet? Ik ga even kijken.

Goede morgen, zo ik ben halverwege hoofdstuk 6 van Intermediate Dutch en het gaat helemaal goed, niks lastig
of iets dat ik niet al eens tegen ben gekomen, maar nu praten ze over iets dat hoewel ik al een keer in een ander
oefeningboek heb gezien, heb ik nooit in een tijdschrift of krant gelezen, noch iemand gehoord die het zegt. Wat
volgt komt uit het boek:
The pronouns iets and niets with prepositions
A more common alternative for the pronoun iets with a preposition is
ergens with a preposition. The negative form is nergens with a preposition.
Examples:
Ik denk aan iets. → Ik denk ergens aan.
I’m thinking about something.
Ik weet van niets. → Ik weet nergens van.
I am not in the know.
If the sentence has a direct object, the object follows nergens or ergens.
The preposition is at the end of the sentence. Example:
Heb je zin in iets? → Heb je ergens zin in?
Is there anything you’d like?
Hij heeft verstand van niets. → Hij heeft nergens verstand van.
He doesn’t have a clue about anything.
Dus mijn vraag is; Hoe gewoon is deze opbouw? Komt het vaak voor? Gebruik je het zelf? Want ik kan me niet
herinneren dat mijn gezin het ooit hebben gebruiken noch kan ik me herinneren dat ik het een keer in de
werkelijke wereld heb gezien. En laatste vraag; moet deze opbouw gebruikt worden als iets, niets of
alles worden gevolgd door een voorzetsel? In dit boek blijkt het niet maar in het andere ben ik bijna zeker
dat ze hebben gezegd dat die opbouw moet gebruikt worden zolang als het niet door een betrekkelijke zinsdeel
wordt gevolgd, want in dat geval gebruik je maar iets, niets of alles.

I would always use the ergens forms except the "Ik weet van niets" which is a common way
of saying "I don't know anything about that" trying to mean "I didn't do that thing!
Someone else did!"

Sorry for the English response, but to be brief:
I have actually seen that structure come up a lot in literature. Personally, I haven't
been so good at integrating it myself, but it is indeed legit and pretty common.
