Japanese

せっかくですから、日本語の挨拶についてすこし共有します。

初めて会った人に対しては「はじめまして」が使われます。英語のNice to meet youに該当します。

基本的には朝昼晩で言葉が変わります。
朝は「おはよう」でGood morning、昼は「こんにちは」で〜、夜は「こんばんは」で〜になります。
「おはよう」については、目上の方については「おはようございます」になります。

ぜひ日本人を見かけたら声かけてみてくださいね。きっと喜ぶと思います。

English

I would like to use this opportunity to share a little about greetings in Japanese language.

We use "hajimemashite" to people we meet for the first time. It falls into "Nice to meet you" in English.

Basically, there are different greeting words for morning, day, and night hours.
We use "Ohayou" as Good morning in the morning, "Konnichiwa" during the day, and "Konbanwa" at night.
As for "Ohayou", we modify the word to "Ohayougozaimasu" when we greet our superiors and elders.

You should try these greetings if you see a Japanese. They will be delighted.
