how do you say hello in japanese

In Japanese, you say "hello" as:

こんにちは (Konnichiwa)

• Pronunciation: kon-nee-chee-wah
• Usage: Commonly used during the daytime as a greeting, similar to "hello" or "good afternoon."

If you want to greet someone in the morning, you can say:

おはようございます (Ohayou gozaimasu)

• Meaning: Good morning (polite)

For a more casual hello, especially among friends, you can simply say:

やあ (Yā) or もしもし (Moshi moshi) - the latter is used when answering the

phone.
