My Japanese skills are very limited but it I have always found that a smile, a few words, pointing and a lot of patience get me through most situations. A few phrases will really come in handy should you ever visit Japan so with that that in mind I here are some basic greetings:
Japanese (English phonetic pronunciation) – Translation
Ohayou gozaimasu (OH-HI-O GO-ZI-MAS) – Good morning Kon’nichiwa (KO-NI-CHI-WA) – Good afternoon Kon’banwa (KONE-BAN-WA) – Good evening Oyasumi nasai (O-YA-SU-MI NA-SIGH) – Good night
Sayounara (SIGH-O-NA-RA) – Good-bye
Lastly, here’s one that isn’t included on the top of many lists but one that I think is very important:
Toire-wa doko-desu-ka (TOY-RAY DO-KO-DE-SU-KA) – Where is the toilet/bathroom?
