    I feel like putting in some effort to learn greetings and how to address people would help significantly when visiting Japan.

      Based on anime I know that if you don’t want to sound like a cringey weeb, the two best ways to greet people are “kisama” and/or “teme”

        Ah yes. In addition, it’s only polite to refer to yourself as “ore,” and a true gentleman will also refer to everyone with the -chan suffix.

        Don’t forget “an’ta” - be sure to omit the a in the middle. It’s how all the cool and non cringe kids talk.
