"Hello" in Japanese

[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! : )

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.

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)
