This is a topic for all the hellos, good mornings and goodbyes of japan. If your still confused let me explain further. This particular topic will be talking about the Japanese greetings and goodbyes as well as (possible) the right prefix to put in front of names. People who actually know the language will give you the right spelling and possibly (you tube video) of how to pronounce them. Personally I don't know much at all really, but thought I should put this up for myself and others  |

| I am also just learning (for the second or third time, now) and all I really know are the numbers and a handfull of greetings. for instance; Ohayo gozaimasu --> polite version of good morning ogenki desu ka? --> How are you? (lit. are you well?) and the reply to that is hai, genki desu --> I'm well |
