I found a dictionary but not those words. See http://hwr.nici.kun.nl/unipen/kanji/english.html#F Sorry wasn't more help. Maybe you can find a substitute word.

Hello In Japanese Kanji

2016-11-14 08:41:12 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0 0

The general 'hello' is konnichiwa - and the kanji is 今日は. It's true that it's often written in hiragana though, but you DO see it in it's kanji form in various places. The hiragana form is こんにちは. It literally translates as 'this day...'.

The general goodbye is (of course) sayounara - kanji is 左様なら and hiragana is さようなら. But no-one ever uses the kanji!

Other general greetings would include good morning - ohayou [gozaimasu] 御早う [ございます] / おはよう [ございます], and good evening - konbanwa 今晩は / こんばんは. That literally translates as 'this evening...'.

Frequently people say the equivalent of 'see you ...' instead of goodbye - but that's not really relevant as you want 'farewell'!

If your browser does not have Japanese fonts installed, you won't be able to read the following:

Hello:
こんにちは - Formal usage pronounced "konnichi-wa"
やっほ - Very informal. used only between friends
pronounced "ya ho".

Farewell:
さよなら - Formal usage pronounced "sayonara".
じゃあね - Very informal. used only between friends
pronounced "Jaa ne".

There are only 5 vowel sounds in Japanese, so remember the following:

a- hot
i- feet
u- to
e- bet
o- old

Whenever you se romanized Japanese, apply these vowel sounds to the vowel letters.

Good luck.

most people know these greeting words in Japanese anyway
konnichiwa & sayonara.
Now days they dont have a kanji, just the hiragana

こんにちわ & さよなら
