Woo-hoo! 15/15 4:25. I don't have much of an excuse for not doing well though, considering my husband is Japanese and I've lived in Japan.

I believe Konnichiwa can also mean "good afternoon"

(as Ohayo means "good morning" and konbanwa means "good evening")

Ramen doesn't mean noodles, it's "Men". Ramen is the name for a particular dish and is more or less the same translated to English.

Technically, Konnichiwa means good afternoon, and ichigo also means 1 o'clock

'Ichigo' doesn't mean 1 o'clock. You're thinking of 一時 = 'ichiji'.

But the word for courage has a long vowel - 'yuuki' or 'yūki'.
