From "How do you do?" to "Good bye!" in Japanese

"Ha・ji・me・ma・shi・te"

This "hajimemashite" is often used when you meet some person first time.
hajime means first and this is formal phrase.
Example
"Hajimemashite, E・RI・KKU desu."
(How do you do? I'm Eric.)
"Hajimemashite, SU・MI・SU desu."
(How do you do? I'm Smith.)

This "DESU" is very useful. You can say like
"TO・MA・TO desu"(It's tomato.)
"WA・TA・SHI desu"(It's me.)
"PU・RE・ZE・N・TO desu."(It's a present.)
"U・SO desu."(It's a joke.)
"HO・N・TO・U desu." (It's true.)
"I・TA・I desu."(I have a pain.)

AND "DESUKA?" IS VERY USEFUL!
You can say like
"TO・MA・TO desuka?"(It's tomato?)
"A・NA・TA desuka?"(It's you?)
"JI・KO desuka?" (Is it the accident?)
"HO・N・TO・U desuka?" (Is it true?)
"I・TA・I desuka."(Do you have a pain?)

You can make many many Japanese lines by using "DESU" and "DESUKA".
