Japan culture


every countr has its own way of greeting. Japanes also greet in their own wonderful way .

The main greetings are o-hayō gozaimasu (お早うございます -- good morning --

used until about 11am), konnichi-wa (今日は -- literally, it is today; roughly

equivalent to good day, good afternoon -- used until late afternoon), konban-wa

(今晩は, good evening), and o-yasumi nasai (お休みなさい, good night).

Different forms of these greetings may be used depending on the relative social

statuses of the speaker and the listener; see respectful language, below.
