Notes: There is a rule for writing hiragana "wa (わ)" and "ha (は)." When "wa" is used as a particle, it is written in hiragana as "ha." "Konnichiwa" or "Konbanwa" are now fixed greetings. However, in the old days it was a part of sentence such as "Today is ~ (Konnichi wa ~)" or "Tonight is ~ (Konban wa ~)" and "wa" functioned as a particle. That's why it is still written in hiragana as "ha."

Greetings for Special Occasions: (1), (2)
