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.
