Daily Use Sentences

Japanese are very dicipline where they will wish everyone whenever they meet in the morning, afternoon and night.

Good Morning - Ohayo Gozaimasu　（おはよございます）
Good Afternoon - Konichiwa　（こにちは）
Good Evening - Konbanwa　（こんばんは）
Good Night - Oyasumi Nasai　（おやすみなさい）

There is another type of wishes where Japanese family will normally say :
When you are going out from home, dormitory, office, etc
You should say : Itte Kimasu （いってきます）- I’m going out
They should reply : Itte Rasshai （いってらっしゃい）- Take care yourself

When you return home, office, dormitory, etc
You should say : Tadaima （ただいま）- I’m Home
They should reply : O Kaeri Nasai （おかえりなさい）- Welcome Back

Based on the above, you may notice that some word has a double character like “itte” & “rasshai”. This will happen whenever there is a small “tsu”.
Example : itte （いって）and rasshai （らっしゃい）

Part 1: "I love you" in Japanese

One of the most popular phrases in any language is probably "I love you." In Japanese, "love" is "ai （愛）," and the verb form "to love" is "aisuru （愛する）." "I love you" can be literally translated as "aishite imasu （愛しています）". "Aishiteru （愛してる）," "aishiteru yo （愛してるよ）" or "aishiteru wa (愛してるわ, female speech)" is normally used in conversation. However, the Japanese don't say "I love you" as often as Western people do, because of cultural differences. I am not surprised if some Japanese say that they have never used these expressions in their life.
zSB(3,3)
The Japanese generally don't express their love openly. They believe that love can be expressed by manners. When they put their feelings into words, it is preferred to use the phrase "suki desu （好きです）". It literally means, "to like." "Suki da （好きだ）," "suki dayo" (好きだよ, male speech) or "suki yo (好きよ, female speech)" are more colloquial expressions. There are many variations of this phrase, including regional dialects (hogen). "Suki yanen （好きやねん）" is one of the versions in Kansai-ben (the Kansai dialect). Since the phrase can also mean "I love it,"
