"Hello" in Japanese

[The Dude]

Does anybody know how to say "hello" in Japanese? I did a quick google search, and the first three translators I found came up with nothing.

[ClassicBob]

Konichiwa, bitches.

[namknils]

Isn't it "Moshi Moshi"?

I'm not positive.

[GuyOnTilt]

Konichiwa.

That is "Good Morning" not "Hello" I believe.

[incognito]

Daytime: ko ni chi wa
Evening: kon ban wa
On the phone: moshi moshi

All 'a's as in father
All 'o's as in cone
All 'i's as the 'ee' in bee
Run all the syllables together, equally stressed.

I think that is casual and only on the phone. Whatever one uses, it's important to end with, "...Mr. Roboto."

[private joker]

Gomen nasai, nihon-go hanase masen.

[incognito]

Good morning: ohayo gozaimasu

Pronunciation as my last post, but ignore the 'u' at the end.

[blaze666]

and then you say hajiamashité, hello, nice to meet you for the first time, please be nice to me.

Incognito is 100% correct, I was waiting for someone to say that "Moshi-Moshi" is a phone answering hello type thing and he gets the ribbon!


Incognito's answer below!

Daytime: ko ni chi wa
Evening: kon ban wa
On the phone: moshi moshi

All 'a's as in father
All 'o's as in cone
All 'i's as the 'ee' in bee
Run all the syllables together

PS He must watch A LOT of that Anime stuff boy! : )

[DiamondDave]

Depends on what time of day it is and your rank relative to that of the person to whom you are speaking.

That's how GoT says it normally.

[Kurn, son of Mogh]

Moshi Moshi is how you answer the phone

Konnichiwa is "Good Day"
Konbanwa is "Good Evening"

O hayo gozaimasu is "How are you" (typical morning greeting)

Hajime mashite is "pleased to meet you" (only used the first time you meet someone)

[Patrick del Poker Grande]

How do you say "I'm horny. Is your daughter 18?"

[partygirluk]

"Anota wa hontino utshukushi desu ka" is "you are extremely beautiful."

[TStoneMBD]

ah-know-tah hun-teeno ut-shoe-kooshi deh-soo kah

is that how you pronounce it? if so thats a hell of a pickup line.

[partygirluk]

My lessons in love don't come cheap baby.

[TStoneMBD]

ill give you a quarter?

I've only learned a little japanese a few years ago, but im pretty sure this is not right. Its Anata (you) not Anota, and the 'ka' at the end is a question indicator. I'm too lazy too look all the internal words but that statement would translate "Are you extremely beautiful?"

[TStoneMBD]

dude, give me my quarter back.

[onehandfold]

isnt it...

Anata wa hontoni utsukushii desu.

just stress every two character combination (constant+vowel)
a-na-ta wa hon-to-ni u-tsu-ku-shi-i de-su

short 'a's like advocado
long 'o's like advocado
'e's like egg
'u's like g'oo'gle
'i's like igloo

wheres my money.

[Arnfinn Madsen]

Is she sexy?

[plaster8]

Don't forget to say "boku no namae wa The Dude-desu" after your greeting.

"My name is The Dude."

[Senor Cardgage]

"Dare-ni mukatte mono itten-dayo"

[jackdaniels]

The right way to say it is:

Anata wa, mita naka de, ichiban ki-dei des.

"You are the most beautiful girl"

[bernie]

Hello in Japanese.

b

[JackThree]

konnichiwa is hello, for the afternoon. konbanwa is hello, but you say it in the evening instead
konnichiwa is pronounced ko-n-ni-chi-wa, five syllables, the konni part you just pause a little for the "n"s

asians are hot

I believe the age of consent is 16 in most prefectures.

Alright, then how do you say "I'm horny. Is your daughter 16?"

[partygirluk]

Point at the daughter and say "Ju-Loku Ka"

[Asnbabe]

actually,
a more impolite version of hello in otherwords hi that can be used in any part of the day would be ohayo gozaimasu
