Why build your own greeting deck

Most ready-made Japanese greetings flashcards cover the same ten phrases, but a course might stress different ones, like hajimemashite for first meetings or oyasumi nasai for bedtime. Generating cards from your own material keeps the deck aligned with what you will be tested on.

Cards pulled directly from your lecture slides or handout
Phrases paired with the situations where they are used
Spaced repetition so weak greetings come back sooner
Quizzes with explanations to test polite versus casual forms

Example Japanese greetings flashcards

What does ohayou gozaimasu mean?Good morning, in a polite form. Used in the morning and into late morning, including with teachers and coworkers.

When is konnichiwa used?As a general hello during the daytime, roughly from late morning until evening. It is not used as a morning greeting.

What is konbanwa used for?Good evening, used from around sunset onward when greeting someone at night.

How do you reply to arigatou gozaimasu?Douitashimashite, meaning you are welcome. It is the standard polite reply.

When do you say hajimemashite?When you first meet someone, meaning nice to meet you. It is often followed by yoroshiku onegaishimasu.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload a PDF, slide deck, DOCX, plain-text notes or a photo of a page. Text in images is read with text recognition.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know are spaced further apart, so greetings move from recognition to recall.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Switch to multiple choice, true/false or short-answer quizzes with explanations, or map how the greetings relate by time of day.

How it works

Upload your notes or slides

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or a photo of your Japanese greetings handout.

Review the generated cards

Check the phrases, romaji and meanings, then edit anything that does not match your course.

Study with spaced repetition

Review in the browser on the free plan, or export to Anki or CSV on Plus.

Greetings are easier to remember when each card asks you to choose the right phrase for a situation, not just translate a word. Pair the phrase with when you would say it, such as ohayou gozaimasu before late morning and konnichiwa during the afternoon.

Once the deck exists, spaced repetition does the scheduling. You spend less time sorting what you already know and more time on the greetings that still feel shaky.

Frequently asked questions

How do I remember Japanese greetings like konnichiwa and ohayou gozaimasu?

Pair each greeting with the time of day and the situation where you would use it, then practice recalling it from the English prompt. Spaced review helps the less common greetings stick.

When should I say ohayou gozaimasu instead of konnichiwa?

Ohayou gozaimasu is the polite morning greeting, used before about late morning. Konnichiwa works for the rest of the day and is a general hello.
