本当ですか。だれが殺しました。
hontou desu ka? dare ga koroshimashita ka?
(Really? Who killed it?)
I think it's a waste to let this thread die like this. What do you suggest to bring it back to life?

hai, wakarimashita. aisatsu no tango wa dou desu ka?
>Got it! (Understood!) How about some Greeting words?
Ohayou gozaimasu.
>Good morning
Konnichi wa.
>Good afternoon/Good day/hello
Konban wa.
>Good evening
Oyasumi nasai.
>Good night
NOTE: the u at the end of a word are often pronounced very short or often not pronounced at all, i.e: gozaimasu = gozaimas, desu = des.

Some notes:
Ohayou gozaimasu is said up till noon, then it's konnichiwa untill somewhere around dinner. From there it's konbanwa untill you go to sleep
Usefull phrases:
Itte kimasu [ittekimas]
>said before you go from home, "i'm leaving and then i'm coming back"
Itte dakimasu [ittedakimas]
>said before you eat (and no, it doesn't mean that you're going to eat and then throw up
)

A bit of a correction:
What you say before you eat is properly spelled:
Itadakimasu.
>Thanks for this wonderful meal. (or something to that effect)
The host will usually answer:
Douzo.
>Please.
And when you're finished you should say:
Gochisousama deshita.
>That was a great meal, thank you. (or something like that)<

You're right, it's "Itadakimasu"
And a few more usefull words to know:
Douzo (as you said)
>You're welcome (or something nearly the same. Works as that atleast)
Doumo
>Thank you (short version of "doumo arigatou gozaimashita")<

More useful words and phrases:
Watashi no namae wa Blackspot desu.
>My name is Blackspot
watashi = me, I
no = indicates possessive form of previous noun/pronoun
i.e.: watashi no = my
namae = name
desu = is (present form of 'be')
O namae wa nan(i) desu ka?
>What is your name?
O = indicates respect
nani = what
ka = at the end of a sentence, works like a question mark.
NOTE: Japanese are very particular of the level of politeness in the way you speak -- different levels of age/position demands a different way of speaking. e.g.:
O namae wa nan(i) desu ka? = is very polite and is the safest form.
Anata no namae wa nan(i) desu ka? = is not very polite because of the
word "anata" which means you. Only use this form for younger or
lower ranking people.
It is better to be as polite as possible than to sound rude or offensive.
