Here, we’ll learn Japanese together. I’m not a master, so if you have a better idea about what I say, I’d be glad if you tell me. Many people say Japanese is one of the most complicated language all over the world. Is it true? Hmmm, If Japanese is that complicated, there would no one’s speaking Japanese except they who have it as a mothertounge. The fact is the amount of people who master Japanese increases greatly. They’re not Japanese of course, they’re just interested in learning Japanese in many different purposes. So, do you want to be part of them? If you nod, just come with me..!
© GREETING
First, I want you to know how to greet in Japanese. In Japan, greeting is very important…They greet everyone, even stranger.. :D, I see this many times in Japanese movies..
1. When you first time meet someone, you can say “Hajimemashite” (How do you do?)
And someone you talk to would also say “Hajimemashite”
2. “Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu” (prounounced :Yoroshku Onegaishimas) means “Nice to meet you”
3. Ohayou Gozaimasu (pronounced : Ohayo Gozaimas) means “Good morning”..But you can only say “Ohayou” if you want
4. “Konnichiwa” means “Good Afternoon”
5. “Konbanwa” means “Good Evening”
6. “Oyasuminasai/Oyasumi” means “Good Night”
7. If Japanese talk by phone they would say “Moshi moshi” to start the conversation. It’s like “Hello” in English, but you can only greet in this way when you talk by phone.
If you want to thank for something, you can say “Arigatou Gozaimasu (pronounced : Arigato Gozaimas), and if you need to say “you’re welcome” just say “Dou ittashimashite”. I think that’s a good start, you’ll find another expression and idiom then.
© LETTER
Japanese has at least four kind of letters. Here’s my short explanation:
a. HIRAGANA : Long time ago, Hiragana is only used by women. So, no wonder it has a very gentle shape. You can use this kind of letter to write an adverb, words that can’t be represented by Kanji, for using in formal situation.
