Hello!!

Now lets learn how to greet someone in Japanese. The only word or phrase we are going to work on is “hello.” The fun thing about Japanese is that there are three ways to say “hello” depending on what time of day you say it. We also do this in English:

Good morning
Good afternoon
Good evening

All three of these phrases ultimately mean “hello” but are used during different times of the day.
Here are the Japanese equivalents:

"Ohayou gozaimasu" Good morning
“Konnichiwa” Good afternoon
“Konbanwa” Good evening

Note: “Ohayou” is pronounce like the state Ohio.
