what does "conichiwa" mean?!?

Answer 1

Konnichiwa and it means good day in japanese

Answer 2

its "konnichiwa" The actual meaning is "good day".

It is not just "good afternoon " as most of the early answers say. It is used to greet some one late in the morning or early afternoon.

Answer 3

It's actually spelled Konichiwa (個日わ) and means basically hello. Keep in mind, that Japanese doesn't translate to English properly, so many words in phrases are lost. And to add to a previous comment, it's Ohayo (おはよ), not Ohio. :3

Answer 4

It's Japanese, and it's used as 'hello' - NEVER goodbye!! It's literal meaning is 'this day' and it can be roughly translated as 'good day'.

In the morning Japanese people normally use Ohayou おはよう / 御早う.
In the evening it's Konbanwa こんばんは / 今晩は, which means 'this evening'.

Konnichiwa こんにちは / 今日は is anytime in between!

Answer 5

Hello or good afternoon in Japanese. I think its more commonly spelt konnichiwa

Answer 6

konnichiwa literally means "good afternoon". but can also be use for greetings as "hello" during morning or evening casually. like "ohayou/ohayougozaimasu" (good morning) can also be use for greetings not only in the morning but also at night, like night shift works (mostly) when you greet your co-workers. "konbanwa" (good evening) however, is only use for greeting at night.

Answer 7

It means "good day/good afternoon", and it is spelled 'konnichiwa'

Answer 8

It means hello and goodbye (not just hello). It's a pleasantry.
