With close people you can use the shortened expression "Oyasumi".

• おやすみ - (Oyasumi)

"Hello" in Japanese

A universal greeting for all occasions, at any time of the day and applicable to all people, regardless of financial or social status, is konnichiwa, which is well known to many. This word is analogous to our “Hello” or “Welcome.”

• 今日は - (kon-ni-chi-wa)
• こんにちは - (kon-ni-chi-wa)

Japanese character for “health”

健康 (kenkou). It is the combination of two kanji that forms the word “health”. It is believed that the image of this hieroglyph helps to improve the well-being of its owner. Sometimes you can simply find the character 健, but separately it means “healthy.”

What else can you do with hieroglyphs?

In addition to tattoos, Feng Shui and talismans, Japanese characters can be used in the following cases:

Use your favorite hieroglyph when creating a hand-made postcard. This will be a memorable gift with which you will express your feelings or wishes in an unusual way. The postcard will be especially valuable for those who are interested in martial arts.

In addition to the postcard, a mug with a hieroglyph would be a great gift idea

Writing on a T-shirt is much less risky than getting a tattoo. Moreover, it is much more pleasant to wear a T-shirt with an inscription, the meaning of which is close to your spirit, than to try with difficulty to find a thing with an inscription on which would suit you.

Japanese-style interiors are very popular these days. Well, what is Japanese style without a hieroglyph? If you want to contemplate a Japanese symbol on the wall of your room, you can watch a video with calligraphy lessons and create a real masterpiece on beautiful paper or a bamboo napkin. Another option is to make a custom photo wallpaper or poster.

For those who are fond of needlework (embroidery, beads, etc.), creating a pattern on a pillow or panel will be akin to calligraphy. The main thing is to choose a beautiful layout.

If you are invited to a Japanese-themed party (or even a simple party), bring candy, but not plain candy. Wrap each candy with a wish in the form of a hieroglyph to the person who will receive this candy.

If you want to learn how to write the most popular Japanese characters, then remember the most important rule - kanji are always written in a strict sequence of strokes. According to one Japanese scholar, if you write a hieroglyph without following the sequence, then you are committing a violent act on it.

It is also necessary to pay special attention to the meanings of hieroglyphs, so as not to get into an awkward situation when meeting a native speaker or a person who understands hieroglyphs. It is better not to spontaneously search for the meanings of hieroglyphs on the Internet, but to contact a Japanese friend (if you have one) or an experienced Japanese scholar.

But, you see, just knowing a few hieroglyphs is not that interesting. Especially if you plan to seriously study the Japanese language, you will face many difficulties, which often become the reason for the fading of interest in learning the language. And all because many people simply do not know how to learn kanji correctly. But we have great news for you - you can learn how to effectively memorize hieroglyphs in our course “Effective techniques for memorizing hieroglyphs.” Thanks to these activities, you will be able to predict not only the sequence of features even in hieroglyphs that are unfamiliar to you, but also the meaning and even the reading! There are not very many places in the group, so hurry up before all the basics are covered without you! You can find out more and purchase the course here.

Hieroglyphs were and remain to this day a beautiful and fascinating type of writing that can be mastered and improved endlessly.

お is a politeness prefix used when addressing another person. Indicates that we are talking specifically about the interlocutor’s birthday. In an informal congratulation you can omit it.

Wishes

To make the congratulations more lively, you can also wish something to the birthday person. The following construction is usually used for this:

second stem of the verb + ます+ように– second stem of the verb + masu + youni – “(I wish) that...”.

It sounds quite formal, but it is suitable for both strangers and friends.

What can you wish for:

Subarashii ichinen ni narimasu youni . I hope that next year will be just wonderful.

(Name)の幸せが いつまでも続きますように。 (Name)no shiawase ga itsumademo tsuzukimasu youni. I wish your happiness to last forever.

Yoi koto no tsuzuku ichinen dearimasu youni . I wish many good things to happen this year too.

(Name)の(age)歳が幸福に満ちあふれていますように。 (Name)no (age)sai ga koufuku ni michiafureteimasu youni. I wish your (age) anniversary is filled with happiness.

Tanoshiku , juujitsu shita ichinen dearimasu youni. I wish this year to be joyful and full of different events.

Korekaramo kenkouna hibi dearimasu youni . I wish you to continue to be always healthy.

You can also use this template:

verb in て-form (or more polite – お(ご) + second base of the verb) + ください– verb in て-form (or more polite – o (go) + second base of the verb) + kudasai

A fairly neutral and polite option, suitable for communicating with unfamiliar people.

Here are some examples:

Taisetsuna kata to goyukkuri osugoshikudasai . May you enjoy this day with your dear people.

Takusan no tanoshii omoide wo tsukuttekudasai . I hope you have lots of fun memories.

ogenki de osugoshikudasai ne . I wish you all the best in the future.

Karada ni ki wo tsukete korekaramo oshigoto ganbattekudasai ne . Take care of your health, I wish you success in your work.

Korekaramo zutto yoki tomodachi de itekudasai . I hope we will always continue to be good friends.

Korekaramo kawarazu, sono mama de itekudasai. Don't change, stay the same in the future.

For friends and family, you can simplify the phrase a little by removing the ください and leaving only the て form. You can also add ね at the end. For example,とびっきりスペシャルな日を過ごしてね– tobikkiri supesharuna hi wo sugoshite ne – “I wish you to spend this day cool and unusual.” Orいつまでも元気で長生きしてね– itsumademo genki de nagaiki shite ne – “I wish you health and long life.”
