hello, everybody.
do you have a question? ask here and someone might give you a answer. let's invite your friends and let us have fun while we are learning. ^.^.^
sawat dee (thai), bonjour (french), ciao (italian), hola (spanish), guten tag (german), aloha (hawaiian), namaste (hindi), konnichiwa (japanese), yeoboseyo (korean) - does that answer your question? lol ...just thought i'd help you out a little *smile*
hehe, see who's here^^ yeobosaeyeo is used on the phone only^^ (or in order to call someone, like, hey, you there,are you crazy, what did you just say :D something like that), better say anyeonghasaeyeo...or more casual anyeong....in German, it's also more casual to say Hallo^^
Actually, "konnichiwa" is time referenced. It means "good day" and can be used from 11 am to about 7 pm. (It literally means "this day is.") Good morning is "ohayogozaimasu" (casual = "ohayo") and good evening is "konbanwa." Unfortunately, there isn't a general greeting in Japan that can be used regardless of the time such as "hi" or "hello."
hi

it is good to know that 'konbanwa' means good evening. i thought that it means 'hi'. thanks for input.
"hi" en français "salut" ou "bonjour" on the phone : "allo" !
Aloha (Hawaii) Mahalo (Thank you)
"hei" or "moi" (finnish), "hej" (swedish) ^^
