Japanese greetings As you may already know, we use certain language patterns in Japanese. It's the same rule, as in English, when you ask a person "How are you?", before actually talking to them. They are customary. Firstly, let's remind ourselves such set expressions and occasions when they are used: We say ただいま（戻りました) Tadaima (modorimashita)  ("(I came back) just now"), when we get back home, and お帰り Okaeri / 　お帰りなさい　Okaerinasai ("Welcome home"), when we greet someone, who just came back.  We also say 　行って来ます　Ittekimasu ("I'll be back", literally "I'll go out and be back" ), when we go out, and 　行ってらっしゃい　Itterasshai ("Go and be back"), when someone is leaving. Before eating, we would say 　いただきます Itadakimasu ("I'm receiving gratefully"), and ご馳走様でした　Go-chisou-sama (deshita ) ("It has been a feast/ It was delicious"), after we ate the food someone made or bought for us.
