Moshi MoshiMoshi Moshi (in hiragana もしもし) is a widely used Japanese telephone greeting. It derived from Mosu mosu (申す申す), I am going to tell you just now. This is the greeting used in the first telephone experiment in Japan. Formerly it had been used very widely both by those who called and those who received a call, at home and at office. Today, office workers seldom use this greeting and it has been replaced with a simple announcement of the name of the caller. The word has become a clich in Europe and in the United States. As of 2004, Google found 23,700 non-Japanese counts of the word — written in latin letters.
