Language Note: Greetings (p.8)

What would you respond?
Ii Otenki desu ne. =>

Soo desu ne.

you are concerned about his or her heath.
What are the three possible responses?

Ee, genki desu/ Okagesama de, genki desu./

Language Note: Greetings (p.8)

Why do you need to be careful using sayoonara?

It has a sense of finality. It is not appropriate saying it to

someone you expect to see later in the day or in a couple of
days.
If you expect to see someone soon, what would you

say?
Ja, mata. or Dewa mata.
