معنی
A polite greeting used when meeting someone after a long time.
زمینه فرهنگی
The concept of 'Aisatsu' (greetings) is a pillar of Japanese society. 'Ohisashiburi' is not just a greeting but a way to acknowledge the 'debt' of time and maintain social harmony. In Japanese business, if you haven't contacted someone for a long time, you are expected to apologize for the silence using 'Gobusata shite orimasu.' On platforms like LINE, 'Ohisashiburi' is often used with cute stickers to soften the fact that you haven't messaged in a while. When visiting someone after a long time, it is common to bring a small gift (temiyage) and say 'Ohisashiburi desu' as you present it.
The 3-Week Rule
If you haven't seen someone for 3 weeks, it's usually safe to use 'Ohisashiburi.'
Don't over-polite friends
Using 'Ohisashiburi desu' with a best friend can make you sound like you're mad at them or being sarcastic.
