Let's Learn!!

Hi, do you know, learning basics Japanese greeting is a great way for
you to start
? If you know the basics of Japanese, there is a rule for writing the
hiragana for "wa (わ)" and "ha (は)." When "wa" is used as a particle,
it is written in hiragana as "ha." Nowadays, "Konnichiwa" or
"Konbanwa" are fixed greetings. However, in the old days they were
used in a sentence such as, "Today is ~ (Konnichi wa ~)" or "Tonight
is ~ (Konban wa ~)" and "wa" functioned as a particle. That's why it
is still written in hiragana as "ha."

here are some greeting that are usually used by the Japanese:
