NOTE 気を付けること
それではさっそく始めましょう!
Now, let’s begin!
In most cases, “こんにちは” can be used for all-purpose greeting. Highly versatile, can be used for both formal and informal situations.
こんにちは。(Kon nichi wa)Yes, this one is also “こんにちは.”
おはようございます。(Ohayou gozaimasu)おはよう。(Ohayou)
こんばんは。(Kon ban wa)夜分に失礼します。(Yabun ni shiturei shimasu)
失礼します。(Shitsurei shimasu)
Especially in formal situations, you may say “Shiturei shimasu” when you hung up a phone/Skype call.
This can also be used for both formal and informal situations.
私、[your name]と申します。(Watakushi, [your name]to moushi masu.)
In formal situation, you better pronounce “私” as “wataKUshi” while in informal situation, you may call yourself “watashi.” Tricky right?
お名前伺ってもよろしいですか?(Onamae ukagatte mo yoroshii desu ka?)
私の趣味は[your hobby]です。 (Watashi ho shumi ha [your hobby] desu.)“趣味” = “Shumi” = Hobby
いかがでしたか?
How did you find it?
自己紹介が相手の言語で出来ると距離がぐっと近づきますよね。
I believe it’s a good way to break the ice to speak your listener’s language.
