Some people say " moshi moshi " to answer the phone, but " hai " is used more often especially in business. " It is used by the caller when the person at the other end picks up.

Kyou warikata-san to resutaran de ramen tabemasu - today in the restaurant, i eat raman with warikata-san. Adding the desu makes the phrase slightly more formal. Thus, it becomes janakatta or janakatta desu. So, to make the negative past form you change the nai to nakatta. Also note that you cannot say "janai deshita." The truth is that the nai part of janai is just like the the nai found in i adjectives. The only negative past form introduced so far has been dewa arimasen deshita, but that can be quite a mouthful. Either form means the same thing, but dewa arimasen is more formal. Recall that the negative forms of desu are dewa arimasen and janai desu. Watashi wa suika ga amari suki janai desu. Saying that you don't like something, or that you hate something can be a little harsh, so you may wish to add the modifier amari, which, means "very much." (Amari is mostly used this way in negative sentences.) It gives the sentences a connotation of "I don't really like ~."
