Hi, There, this is CHII
It is nice day today.
Today, I will explane about greeting.
Japanese has 3 type of polite expresstion which is Sonkeigo, Kenjougo and Teineigo.
(Actually there is more detail rules but today I ignor it.)
Also japanese has casual expression as well.
We distinguish expression depend on a person.
You use SONKEIGO when you talk with someone and a person who act is opponent.
You use KENJOGO when you talk with someone in a humble manner and a person who act is you.
You use TEINEIGO when you want to pay someone respect.
So I will explane them as much as possible.
Here is rule;
CJ; casual language
SJ; SONKEIGO （honorics lanuage）
KJ; KENJOGO (humble language)
TJ; TEINEIGO (polite language) *if it is just words, polite expresson is enough
So lets get start it!
