Nihongo (1)

Konnichiwa minna-san :D
Ogenki desuka? Watashi wa genki desu :)
Yesterday, I found my japanese book. Then, I tell to my self ‘why don’t I post it in my blog?’
So, here I am. Trying to share my nihongo knowledge to all of you.
Okaay!! :D let’s start shall we?
The very first lesson , actually, is introducing two of three japanese letters which are hiragana and katakana. But I won’t explain them here. Just find and learn the letters by yourself ‘kay?! heheh ^^v
*I kinda lazy to find some picture of it, gomenasai m(_ _)m
So the first thing in my post is aisatsu (greetings)

# Aisatsu
A. Meeting Salutation
Ohayou gozaimasu = good morning
Ohayou gozaimasu is a formal salutation, you can use it to greet the elder or someone you respected. The informal one, you just need to say ‘ohayou’, for example to your friend.
Konnichiwa = good afternoon
Konbanwa = good night
*do not use these greetings when you are parting with people*
EXERSICE
1. Q: a tanaka-sensei, b ohayou gozaimasu
        A: b ohayou
        a. Suzuki                        yoshida
        b. Konnichiwa               konbanwa

         b. Konnichiwa              konbanwa
              -san is used to address someone else, NOT ourself

B. Parting Salutation
Sayounara = bye
Dewa mata / jyaa mata = see you
(Dewa) mata ashita = see you tomorrow
Mata raishuu = see you next week
Oyasuminasai = good night
Sayounara  is used to greet someone at the time of parting. The expression dewa mata / jyaa mata can be used when you are going to meet again with said person.
(dewa) mata ashita is used when you are going to meet again the next day. 
(dewa) mata raishuu is used when you are going to meet again the next week.
Oyasuminasai is used before sleep. This greeting is also used when parting at night.
EXERSICE
Q: dewa, mata ashita
A: mata ashita
Sayounara     oyasuminasai     mata raishuu        jyaa, mata
An Example of Conversation
- A student meet the teacher
Student : Sensei, ohayou gozaimasu
Teacher : ohayou
- When get apart with the teacher
Student : sayounara
Teacher : dewa, mata ashita / dewa, mata raishuu / sayounara

C. Another Salutation
<when meet with someone whom you are not see in a long time>
A: ohisashiburi desune. Ogenki desuka
B: hai, okagesamade
Ohisashiburi desune means “long time no see”
Ogenki desuka is also kinda salutation when you are meeting with someone. This salutation is not used to the people whom you meet everyday.
Okagesamade is a reply to ogenkidesuka.
An Example of Conversation
A: B-san, konbanwa
B: A-san, ohisashiburi desune. Ogenki desuka.
A: hai, okagesamade.
