In this thread, you can share your knowledge in Nihonggo. This would be fun, trust me

I'll start.

wa - topic maker
o - direct object
ni - "to", "for", "at"
no - possesive ('s/for)
ka - question maker

BASIC GREETINGS/INTRODUCTIONS:

Dozo yoroshiku onegaishimasu - a very polite way of saying "Nice to meet you"
Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu - less formal
Dozo Yoroshiku - less formal
yoroshiku - equal

Hajimemashite - is like the english (How do you do?)

Ohayo Gozaimasu - Goodmorning *it can also be ohayo only to be less formal*

Konnichiwa - hello(not in the phone) / Good day / Good Afternoon

Konbanwa - Good evening.

Oyasumi Nasai - Good Night.

Tadaima! - I'm Home

Okaeri(nasai) - Welcome Back!

Genki Desu ka? - How are you?

Daijobu desu ka? - are you alright?

NOTE: by adding "ka" the phrase/word becomes a question. Now if you say, "Genki desu" you are saying that you're fine. and if you say "Daijobu desu" you're saying that "I'm alright".

Chotto matte kudasai - please wait a moment.

PERSON:

Dare - who
Watashi - I
Anata - you
Kare - he
Kanojo - She
Watashi tachi - We
Anata tachi - you (more than one)

That would be all for now, I'll be back

JAPANESE: subject - object - verb
ENGLISH : subject - verb - object

NOUNS:

Japanese nouns have no gender, article, and no singular/plural. ("the" and "a" etc.) For example, the word "tomodachi" can be "a friend," "the friend," "friends," or "the friends."

DESU:

is equivalent to English "am," "are," or "is." Unlike English, it doesn't change its form according to the subject. "-desu" always comes at the end of a sentence.

example:

Watashi wa Macky desu.
(I) (topic maker) (my name) (am)

OMISSION:

When the topic is obvious to the person you're talking with. it's generally omitted.

(Watashi wa) Macky desu. -- it can be:

Macky desu.
