Weekly’s post - Japanese

Hello HT friends 😄,

Welcome to my

weekly learning of 🇰🇷🇯🇵🇷🇺

#9 Weekly Learning - Japanese 📝

🍎 Topic: Greetings in Japanese

🌸 1. Ohayō gozaimasu 
This roughly translates to “good morning,” and is used typically in the morning hours until before noon.

🌸 2. Konnichiwa 
It translates as “hello,” and can be used any hour but more commonly between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. Literally meaning “today,” or more originally, “the sun,” it makes sense to use it while the sun is up.

🌸3. Konbanwa 
After around 6 p.m. or sunset, you can use konbanwa, which roughly translates to “good evening,” but literally means “tonight.”

🌸 4. Oyasumi nasai 
This literally means something close to “please rest,” or “have a good rest,” but is used to mean “good night.”

🌸 5. Sayōnara & gokigenyō 
Sayōnara is not used that often either, literally meaning “if it is so.”

🌸 6. Ittekimasu & itterasshai
The person who leaves says, ittekimasu, literally “I’ll go and come back,” whereas the person staying says itterasshai, literally “please go and come back.”

 🌸 7. Tadaima & okaeri 
When returning to home or office, the person says tadaima or tadaima modorimashita, literally “I have come back now.” The person welcoming him/her back says, okaeri, or okaerinasai, to mean “welcome back.

 🌸 8. Moshi moshi & osewa 
Use at the beginning of phone call as “Hello”. However, a more polite way to answer the phone today is hai (はい) or “yes”.

🌸 9. Otsukaresama desu
Used as a sign of recognition for hard work and mutual support and is thus usually said after work.

🌸 10. Yōkoso & irasshaimase
This means “welcome.”
