When I was 25 I got testicular cancer and nearly died. I was given less than a 40 percent chance of surviving, and frankly, some

of my doctors were just being kind when they gave me those odds. Death is not exactly cocktail-party conversation, I know, and neither is cancer, or brain surgery, or matters below the waist. But I’m not here to make polite conversation. I want to tell the truth. I’m sure you’d like to hear about how Lance Armstrong became a Great American and an Inspiration To Us All, how he won the Tour de France, the 2,290-mile road race that’s considered the single most grueling sporting event on the face of the earth. You want to hear about faith and mystery, and my miraculous comeback, and how I joined towering figures like Greg LeMond and Miguel Indurain in the record book. You want to hear about my lyrical climb through the Alps and my heroic conquering of the Pyrenees, and how it felt. But the Tour was the least of the story.

When is は (ha) pronounced as (wa) like in こんにちは?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:I'm only a year or so in to learning but believe it's more or less a partial phrase.

こんにち is like "this day" and は is just the particle

So こんにちは is like "as for this day(it is 'insert unspoken words')"

Same with こんばんは "as for this evening"

If you were to say to someone on the street "Beautiful day" which is just an adjective and a noun but doesn't have a verb anywhere, you'd know they just meant "It's a beautiful day out, don't you agree?" and that it was a greeting.

The whole partial phrase thing happens a lot in casual speech. When someone asks あなたは "as for you?", it's typically asked as a question but doesn't have a か or anything about what is being asked. Context.
