  I was taught that &quot;Otsukare&quot; was a greeting you gave when you&apos;re meeting a friend who went out of their way to see you. Like if they came to see you right after work or had a busy schedule but still made time to meet you. It was to show that you appreciate them making time for you even though they had other obligations.

  I think a good translation for Ojamashimasu is &quot;pardon my intrusion&quot;, it has at least a similar &quot;feel&quot; to it.

  When she was doing masculine greetings, I was lowkey waiting for an, “Oii, Oiii, Oiiii”

  Anyone here worried about sounding so native that the chances of responding to whatever comes next with the 4 additional words you know are so slim that you’d rather sound like you know nothing 😅

  When I lived in Japan I picked up on adding “あ” before greetings and other phrases. After moving back to the US it took a while for me to stop adding “あ” before things 😂

  For お邪魔します, in English we would say something like &apos;sorry to bother&apos;, &apos;I&apos;m sorry to bother you,&apos; or, very formally, &apos;may I intrude for a moment?&apos;.

  As an anime watcher who really loves Haikyuu, I couldn&apos;t help but notice that you said that &quot;yahhoo&quot; is mostly used by girls, but ladies&apos; man Oikawa Tooru uses it a lot as well, and it&apos;s kind of become his trademark.<br>Edit: I also want to add in this other way to say hi, though I guess it&apos;s more like &quot;I&apos;m back&quot; or &quot;I&apos;m home&quot;- &quot;tadaima&quot;, and the response is &quot;okaeri&quot;, welcome home.
