@itsmeZnarf by the way, I don't think 'genki desuka?' is common in spoken Japanese. It's usually seen in a letter or a mail only.

@easygoinghiroki so what should be the right one, Hiroki-san?hehe

@easygoinghiroki
@itsmeZnarf nothing. I don't think English and Japanese share every word. So, just say 'Ohayo!' 'Kon'nichiwa.' or 'Kombanwa.'

@easygoinghiroki
@itsmeZnarf thanx! I hope so.. If u often watch anime, u'll notice Japanese don't say Sayonara but use 'Matane!' or 'Shitsurei shimasu.'

@easygoinghiroki
@itsmeZnarf 'Matane'='see ya,' 'Shitsurei shimasu'='I'm going' in business scene. I heard it's similar in English & was told not to say bye!

@znarf007
@easygoinghiroki ohhh i see.. now i just learned that from you.. coz i though shitsurei shimasu is a very polite level of saying b4 leaving

easygoinghiroki
@easygoinghiroki
@itsmeZnarf haha, actually 'Ja' and 'Sayonara' share their origin. But 'mata'(=again) implies the possibility that we can meet again.

@easygoinghiroki
@itsmeZnarf if u see a person 4 the first tym, u should b polite rather than try to be friends rushingly. Japanese are often closed-minded.

@easygoinghiroki a Japanese elementary Teacher said to me, to enhance my Japanese learning, i must use it everytime..

@easygoinghiroki
@itsmeZnarf I agree w/ that opinion and it's likewise in learning English. That's why I've often tweeted in English since I was in Cebu.
