Gomenasai- "I'm sorry"
Ohayo- "Good morning" (Ohayo gozaimas (or something like that) is more formal)
Aishiteru- "I love you"
I believe Konnichiwa is more like- "Good afternoon" but I'm not sure. I've seen it meaning that though, but I could be wrong.
That's as much as I can remember.
I do want to ask what these are in japanese:
I miss you
Help
What's your name?
Where are you from?

I know I asked some but if there are any more basic question I might need to know, please tell me.
Not sure if your questions were answered on the other thread so I will answer them here to be sure. *^_^*
You are correct for both greetings. おはよう/おはようございます (ohayou/ohayougozaimasu) is good morning and こんにちは (konnichiwa) is good afternoon/day. Further more you can say こんばんは (konbanwa) which is good evening. *^_^*
The colloquial "i love you" can be said あいしてる (aishiteru), but the more correct version of this is あいしている (aishiteiru). The final い(i) usually gets over looked when it is said quickly. (As a note, this is also why the final 'u' sound in endings like です (desu) and ます (masu) and even in く(ku) when it is in the middle of a word is not pronounced. It is not that it is not there, it is just spoken so quickly that it doesn't register. XD)
Now for your actual questions:
I miss you - さびしい (sabishii) - this literally means I'm lonely, and in certain context it can mean "I'm lonely (without you)"
Help - there are a few ways to say this and it is important that the meaning is clear. If asking for dire help たつけて (tatsukete) is usually used. If you are helping someone or someoen is helping you, you can use the verb てつだう (tetsudau). If you don't know alot of Japanese grammar it might be best if I knew what context you were looking for with this one. ^.^;;
What is your name? - なまえ は なん です か。 (namae wa nan desu ka.) I only put the spaces in for you to better follow as the Japanese don't use spaces. You could put あなたの (anatano) in front of this question if your partner is unaware of who you are speaking to but I wouldn't recommend this as using even a formal "you" is considered a bit rude.
Where are you from? - どこ から きました か。 (doko kara kimashita ka.) This literally means "from where did you come". there is also a more formal way to ask this but it is usually only used in a business or work environment.
Hope this helped *^_^*
