Konnichiwa literally means “as for today." It is used from about ten o’clock in the morning until dusk.
Kombanwa means "good evening" and is used in the same way as its English TRANSLATION.
2. Although Americans customarily follow a greeting by "how are you," the Japanese equivalent, o-genki desu ka, is not used by persons meeting for the first time. The phrase is used by friends who have not seen each other for some time.
3. The ending -san is added to a person’s name. It may usually be TRANSLATEDas “Mr.," "Mrs.," or "Miss." -san is used after a person's first name or last name.
Note that -san shows the speaker's respect for the person he is speaking to or about. The speaker, therefore, never uses -san with his own name. For example, you would call YOUR friend Tanaka-san, but he would refer to himself simply as Tanaka.
