* "Konnichiwa" (こんにちは) means "hello" and is a greeting, not a congratulatory term.
* "Congratz" is a shortened form of "congratulations" and doesn't have a direct equivalent in Japanese.
Here's how to express congratulations in Japanese:
* おめでとうございます (omedetou gozaimasu): This is the most formal and polite way to say congratulations.
* おめでとう (omedetou): This is a more casual and friendly way to say congratulations.
* お祝い (oiwai): This word means "celebration" and can be used to express congratulations.
To combine a greeting and congratulations, you could say:
* こんにちは、おめでとうございます! (Konnichiwa, omedetou gozaimasu!) ("Hello, congratulations!")
* こんにちは、おめでとう! (Konnichiwa, omedetou!) ("Hello, congratulations!")
Remember to choose the appropriate level of formality depending on the situation and your relationship with the person you're speaking to.
