    (2) Basic greetings 2

    2017 7 24 Takahiro

    Id like to introduce few more greetings which are frequently


    used.

    Phrases:
    (oyasumi), (oyasumi nasai)

    good night

    (hajimemashite)

    nice to meet you

    (sumimasen)

    excuse me

    (gomennasai), (sumimasen)
    sorry

    Good night has 2 forms. (oyasumi nasai) is


    polite, (oyasumi) is casual.

    You might wonder why (sumimasen) appears


    twice. Actually, we say (sumimasen) when
    mentioning both of excuse me and sorry.

    If you go to a restaurant or cafe in Japan, you should ask


    waiter/waitress to come to you. In that case, you can just
    say (sumimasen).

    When you bump into somebody not on purpose, then you can
    also say (sumimasen) or
    (gomennasai) which means sorry.
