Hisashiburi~!（久しぶり！）
The phrase simply means “It’s been a while” or “Long time no see!”, which is a pretty common phrase in any language that I know of, but I doubt anyone says this more often than the Japanese do.
For instance, I realized that many of my friends greet me “hisashiburi~!” even though it has only been two weeks since we last met.
I guess Japanese people miss each other more than any other country.
If you are meeting or messaging a Japanese friend that you haven’t met for a while, try using this phrase to show that you really missed and couldn’t wait to see them!
