Good Morning is "Ohayou gozaimasu," and is written おはようございます。 Kon'nichi wa means "Good day," more like, but yeah, it could be "Good afternoon," I guess. But it's written こんにちは or 今日は. Konbanwa is written こんばんは or 今晩は. Formal Goodbye is "Sayounara," not "sayoonara," and is written さようなら. Also, I'm not sure if this is always formal. Goodbye could be しつれいします, but if you're looking for informal, it wouldn't be, because します makes it formal. It can also be written 失礼します. Good night is correct. It can also be written お休みなさい. Thank you is "Doumo arigatou gozaimasu," and is written どもうありがとうございます or どもう有難うございます. Also, どうも有難う can be used alone, to be informal. どうも is for emphasis. You're welcome or it's alright is "Iie douitashimashite" and is written いいえどういたしまして or いいえどう致しまして. "I'm sorry" is "Doumo sumimasen" and is written どうもすみません. "It's alright" - see above "How are you" is correct, and can also be written お元気ですか. "Hai genki desu" is correct, and can also be written はい元気です. | ||

Okay, little Japanese grammar lesson... The basic Japanese sentence structure is the following: "{subject} wa {indirect object} ni {direct object} o {verb}" However, the "wa" is written as は and "o" is written as を. In all other cases of "wa," however, it is written わ. こんにちは is basically just the word for "today," and the subject particle. However, I have no idea how that translates to "Good day," it just does. But, in short, that's just how it is. |
