📖 Frequently Asked Questions

❓ How do you start a phone call in Japanese?
The person answering says 「もしもし」(Moshi moshi) = Hello (phone greeting only—not used in person). For business calls, staff say 「〇〇（company name）でございます」(〇〇 de gozaimasu). The caller should immediately introduce themselves: 「こちらは〇〇と申します」(Kochira wa 〇〇 to moushimasu) = This is 〇〇 speaking. Skipping the self-introduction is considered impolite in Japanese phone culture.
❓ How do you leave a message or ask someone to call back in Japanese?
First ask 「〇〇さんはいらっしゃいますか？」(〇〇-san wa irasshaimasu ka?) = Is 〇〇 available? If they're not in, request 「お伝え願えますか？」(Otsutae negaemasu ka?) = Could you pass on a message? Or ask for a callback: 「折り返しお電話いただけますか？」(Orikaeshi odenwa itadakemasu ka?) = Could you ask them to call me back?
❓ What are the polite phrases for ending a phone call in Japanese?
Close with 「それでは、失礼します」(Soredewa, shitsurei shimasu) = Well then, I'll let you go. For business calls: 「よろしくお願いします。失礼いたします」(Yoroshiku onegaishimasu. Shitsurei itashimasu). In Japanese etiquette, the person who called should hang up first. Hanging up abruptly without a proper closing phrase is considered rude even by Japanese casual standards.
