Is there a regular "Hello" in japanese?? Hi everybody, I know there is おはよう in the morning, there is こんにちは for the afternoon and こんばんは for the evening. But is there a simple hello that you can say any time in a day ? I mean a polite hello, not too formal but not familiar. Thank you for you reply !!

「あ、どうも。」 It's a magic phrase that works for both "hello" and "thank you", but this is a little informal.

I also suggest "Doomo" as Takeshi. It is really a handy word.

There is no such thing as "not too formal" or "not too casual" in Japanese. It's either formal or informal there. There is no informal word for "hello" in Japanese. You can say pretty much anything, including one of the formal words.
