Konnichiwa and Konbanwa


What is the difference between `Konnichiwa` and `Konbanwa`? Is it appropriate
to use either one in everyday conversations?




They are both common greetings. The "ban" in "konbanwa" means "evening". The
"nichi" in "konnichiwa" means "day".

We use "ohayou gozaimasu" before about 10:30 am, "konnichiwa" after about
10:30 am, and "konbanwa" in the evening.
