Do you work for a foreign company or do you just often have to communicate with the inhabitants of the Land of the Rising Sun?! Then you should know the basic colloquial phrases in their native language. The most basic thing that starts any normal conversation is a greeting. In this post, I want to show you how to say "Hello" in Japanese.

How to say hello in Japanese

In general, to begin with, it is worth taking into account the fact that in Japanese there are only 9 most popular greetings, not counting everything else. The easiest way to say "Hi" in Japanese is kon'nichiwa. It is pronounced as "konichiva", it can also be "konnitiva". The easiest way to pronounce the word by syllable is “kon-ni-chi-wa”. This is the simplest and most common greeting, which is suitable in 80% of cases. That is, if you meet a person at any time of the day and do not know how to greet him - say "konichiva" - this will fit without problems instead of "Good morning", "Good afternoon" or "Good evening".
And one more thing - do not forget that in a personal meeting you must bow.

If you need to say hello in a letter, then for this you can write "Hello" in Japanese in the form of a hieroglyph:

Option 1: "konichiva" - 今日は Option 2: "konichiva" in Hiragana: こんにちは

By the way, there is another very cool fragment from the movie "Taxi" on this topic.

How to say hello to a friend in Japanese

The second popular Japanese way to say hello to friends is to say “Hi! Long time no see!". The phrase "Hisashiburi" is used for this. It is pronounced "hisashiburi". In writing, such a Japanese hello is written like this: 久しぶり

Note: There is also an older and longer variation of this phrase, "Ohisashiburidesune". But only it is used much less often and in the most honorable context.

To your closest friends and comrades, you can say in Japanese "Hi, dude!" There is also such a slang greeting in the Land of the Rising Sun - “Ossu”. It is pronounced like “oss”. It is used only in an informal setting and only between guys. Literally, it means “hey dude”, “hello dude”, “healthy”, etc.
You can write "Ossu" in Hiragana characters like this: おっす

A short greeting in Japanese

In Japan, among young people (especially among young girls), a short phrase "Yāhō" is a very popular way to say hello to each other. First, this greeting appeared in Osaka, and only then spread throughout the country.
It reads like "Yahho" (yaahoo!). On katanaka, you can write "hello" in this version as follows: ヤーホー.
Sometimes the phrase is shortened to "Yo".

But again, keep in mind that this can only be used when talking to a friend. At an official evening or when meeting a distinguished guest, such a “Japanese hello” will look, to put it mildly, strange.

"Hey! How are you?!" in Japanese

The Japanese have a special expression "Ogenkidesuka". It sounds like ka "ogenki des ka" and literally translates as "are you awake?". It can be used to say "Hi, how are you?" in Japanese. It is also suitable if you want to ask the interlocutor “How are you?!”.
But if you really want to take an interest in the affairs of the interlocutor, then the phrase "Saikin dō" is more suitable here. Pronounced "sai-kin-doo". This will ask you in Japanese "How are you?".
You can write it in hieroglyphs like this: 最近どう
This phrase is more common and more common.

We all know the Japanese word 『さようなら』(sayounara), which we use when saying goodbye and parting for an indefinite period. Surprisingly, the Japanese themselves rarely use this word. Moreover, it turns out that this word can even offend the interlocutor! And all because sayounara involves parting for a sufficiently long period or forever. Self-critical Japanese may misunderstand us, thinking that we offended them in some way and do not want to meet with them anymore. Although this applies to very sensitive natures, nevertheless, such cases do occur.

But what do the Japanese say in this case when parting? In fact, there are fixed expressions in Japanese that are used as an analogue of sayounara. Each of these phrases is used in specific terms under specific circumstances. So, let's figure out when and what expressions can be used:

1) 行って来ます (itte kimasu)

When you leave home, you should say 行って来ます！ Literally, this phrase means "I'm leaving, but I'll be back." Usually this phrase is pronounced when crossing the threshold of the house, and in response they receive 行ってらっしゃい (itte rasshai) - "go and come back."

2) お先に失礼します (osaki ni shitsurei shimasu)

It is known that the Japanese are insane workaholics who are constantly at work. Imagine that you work all day and it's time to leave. What to say to the remaining colleagues? In this situation, you have no choice but to say お先に失礼します (osaki ni shitsurei shimasu), which means "sorry to leave first."

3) お疲れ様でした (otsukaresama deshita)

お疲れ様でした (otsukaresama deshita) is a response to お先に失礼します (osaki ni shitsurei shimasu). This phrase can be translated as "thank you for your hard work." There is another analogue of this phrase - ご苦労様でした (gokurousama deshita). The meaning of these two phrases is the same, the only difference is that the second phrase is spoken by a person whose position is higher than yours. For example, this phrase can be said by the boss to his subordinates.

4) じゃあね (jaa ne)

In a circle of friends, we usually use colloquial speech. And such colloquial phrases are じゃあね (jaa ne) and またね (mata ne). And you can translate these phrases as "see you."

5) バイバイ (bai bai) from English. bye bye

This way of saying goodbye is borrowed from the English language. I must say that バイバイ (bai bai) is predominantly common among teenagers, especially girls. Japanese guys think that bye bye sounds girly, so you won't hear that phrase very much from them.

6) また明日 (mata ashita)

This expression is also colloquial, but it can be used in relation to colleagues, but only very close ones with whom you have been communicating for a long time. So this phrase "see you tomorrow."

7) 気をつけて (ki wo tsukete)

You can say 気をつけて (ki wo tsukete) to your guest who is already leaving your house, or to a friend who is going on vacation. This phrase translates as "take care of yourself", "be careful."

8) 元気で (genki de)

When your friend moves to another city or country, and it is expected that you will not meet him for a long time, then he should say 元気で (genki de), which means "happy", "success!", "take care of yourself".

9) お大事に (odaiji ni)

When you say goodbye to someone who is sick, you should say お大事に (odaiji ni), which translates to "get well soon."

10) さらばだ (saraba da)

This is a very archaic phrase that has come down to us since the Edo period. This phrase was often used by samurai, and now さらばば (saraba da) is used as an analogue of adios! Of course, this expression has a comic connotation, so often only best friends say this phrase to each other.

It is no coincidence that the Japanese language is one of the most difficult in the world. It has not the slightest resemblance either to Russian or to the usual European languages. It acts according to its own laws and not everyone understands the logic. In this regard, its study entails many difficulties.

Origin of the Japanese language

The next step is to improve your pronunciation. It is important to pay attention to the pronunciation of individual sounds. The peculiarity of the Japanese language is to change the designation of the used word depending on the pronounced intonation. Then it is worth studying the variations of sound combinations and Having basic knowledge, you can turn to a mentor for help. To do this, it is recommended to enroll in a language school. Learn Japanese phrases and words here. Usually, cards, audio recordings and other attributes are used for this.

Immersion in the language environment

There are two ways to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Japan. The first is, of course, to go to the Land of the Rising Sun and communicate directly with real Japanese. If this is not possible, then you can enroll in a circle where everyone speaks only Japanese, and usually people born and living in this country also enter it.

It is important to understand that going on a week-long vacation to Japan is certainly a great idea, but this approach is not very effective in terms of learning the language. For deep immersion, it is recommended to become a student of a local university or go to this state under an experience exchange program within the framework of your profession. It is best to learn a language on the model of a peer of your gender. After all, the presentation of an adult differs from the explanation of a young one, just like female communication from male.
