And since I probably made a mistake in my question: "Recently, I've been seeing the phrase "konbachiwa".. is this some abbreviation of konbanwa and konnichiwa? Does it mean the same thing?"
Thanks in advance!  |
I just did a Google search. I've never seent his before, but I'd say yeah, you're right. I found some other mentions of おはこんばちは and おはこんばんちは and the
absolutely atrocious こんばちわ.
It is highly unlikely that it is anything other than a portmanteau of こんにちは and こんばんは (and also おはよう).
