Greetings and Introductions -

When meeting some for the first time there are many ways in which you can introduce yourself:

はじめまして　＝　Nice to meet you
どうぞよろしく＝　Please to meet you/ take care of me

When using ’どうぞよろしく’ remember this is used when meeting someone for business purposes or introducing yourself in front of a class. When introducing yourself, asking the name of the other person or telling them your name helps get to know each other and make the conversation flow.

お名前は何ですか　＝　What is your name?
私の名前は…です　＝　My name is...
私は...です　＝　I am
あなたは？　＝　and you?

Normal introductions throughout the day are:

おはようございます　＝　Good Morning
こんにちは　＝　Good Afternoon
こんばんは　＝　Good Evening
もしもし　＝　Hello (used only when greeting someone over the phone)

When departing there are many different ways to farewell someone:

さようなら　＝　Goodbye
バイバイ　＝　Bye-Bye
またあした　＝　See you tomorrow
じゃね　＝　See you later
