こんにちは
I believe this is how you say hello (Konichiwa) in Japanese.
why is は (ha) used and not わ (wa) ? Also why is there an extra n (ん) because there is already に (ni). Please answer!

こんにちはis a part of this sentence こんちには いい日ですね. This means " How a good day today."
In Japanese, when "は" used like "be" "is" "are", we pronounce は wa.
So こんにちは is shortened word, This は isn't HA.

I guess Konnichiwa is right.
Actually, ha is an auxiliary and usually be followed with some words。
今日は、良い天気です
Kyoyu ha yoi tenki desu
It’s nice wether today
And historically the followings have been saved, and only the remains survive meaning saying hello.
Do you understand ?

Ah I see now I understand it! Thanks for explaining it so clearly ^^🙏

こんにちは is originally "今日は". So, it must be spelled as "は” until わ becomes a widely accepted usage.
