greeting function OR locating/finding Explanation: No context, so..... One possiblity is a greeting function, as in HelloAsia or on ATM screens as a greeting, while the other is locating/finding something, like the temp job agency here in Tokyo called HelloWork. Just a guess, though. |

Konnichiwa こんにちは / Moshimoshi もしもし Explanation: 1) Greeting "Konnichiwa" Unlike English "hello", Konnichiwa can only be used in the afternoon like "good afternoon". It will be Ohayo gozaimasu in the morning, and Konbanwa in the evening. The closest greeting word in Japanese would be "Ya" but this is a very informal greeting. 2) Answering the phone "Moshimoshi" |
