Re:Correction for my previous entry
I am an English speaker from America. I've never heard the word "salaryman". I've heard "businessman" my whole life. It would be a person who works in business, like a salesperson or a wall-street worker.
I think of a white-collar worker as a more generic term to describe people who would traditionally where a white, collared shirt(or dress shirt) to work. This could include more than just businessmen.

Correction for my previous entry
In my previous message I wrote:
"Is it true that in English-speaking countries, the word salaryman means just an ordinary white-collar employee, and that businessman means a white-collar worker?"
I was just going to ask whether the Japanese word salaryman is commonly known in English-speaking countries.
I'm sorry. I AM the person who make people confused.

As for greedings in Japan.
hi! kioku. I'm a Japanese. " How are you "is ya a, (‚â‚ )
genki?iŒ³‹CHj, yo! (‚悤!)=(informal Japanese) in Japan. But,
the young Japanese never says konnichiwa,konbanwa and ogenkidesuka
(‚¨Œ³‹C‚Å‚·‚©)@to the person of the same age or younger. I also
have never said to konnichiwa, konbanwa and ogenkidesuka to the
person of the same age or younger.
There are not so many expression like { Whst't up? How are you?
hi!! Hello!! } in Japan.

Salaryman and Businessman
Is it true that in English-speaking countries, the word salaryman means just an ordinary white-collar employee, and that businessman means a white-collar worker? Some website or book written by Japanese author explaind that businessman is a person who runs his/her own company or store, or is at high level in a company, or an entrepreneur.
NOTE:People generally call an ordinary white-collar worker "salaryman" in Japan. And a salaryman means a businessman too.
CONFUSING!!!

As for a greeting in Japan
hi! kioku. I'm a Japanese. " How are you "is called ya a, (¤ä¤¢)
yo! (¤è¤¦!)¢ª(informal Japanese) in Japan. But, the young Japanese
never says konnichiwa,konbanwa to the person of the same age or
lower than me. I also have never said to konnichiwa, konbanwa to
the person of the same age or lower than me.
There are not much expression like this { Whst't up? How are you?
