How do you say hi in Japanese?
Q: how do you say hi in Japanese?
A: Good question! “Hello” is usually translated as こんにちは konnichiwa, and you’d also use that for friends when going out etc. I don’t think there is really anything we use like “hi”, although just saying “元気?= genki?” is quite common, meaning “What’s up?”
Be genki,
Richard
