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
