As for greedings in Japan.

hi! kioku. I'm a Japanese. " How are you "is ya a, (‚â‚ )

genki?iŒ³‹CHj, yo! (‚悤!)=(informal Japanese) in Japan. But,

the young Japanese never says konnichiwa,konbanwa and ogenkidesuka

(‚¨Œ³‹C‚Å‚·‚©)@to the person of the same age or younger. I also

have never said to konnichiwa, konbanwa and ogenkidesuka to the

person of the same age or younger.

There are not so many expression like { Whst't up? How are you?

hi!! Hello!! } in Japan.

Hey!
i'm english, and only a student in japanese, but here's the translation:

How are you = O-genki desu ka?

It's ver polite, and should be used to all people you are meeting, really.
