desu ka?
Bowing おじぎ ojigi
Japanese people bow to express their respect and appreciation. People bow along with greetings, words of appreciation or apologies. The strength of the respect, gratitude or apology, dictates how low your bow should be.
There are no genders, articles or singular/plural forms in Japanese. Different counters are used together with numbers.
