Good morning Ohayo (Think of the state of Ohio...)

Good afternoon Konnichiwa

Good evening Konbanwa

How do you do? Hajimemashite

Nice to meet you Yoroshiku

Sorry Sumimasen
Sumimasen is used when you're excusing yourself for being rude. Like if you walk between two people while they're walking or you walk in front of someone while they're looking at something. That sort of thing.
Gomen nasai is an apology. Say you accidentaly bumped into someone, then you would use gomen nasai and not sumimasen.

Thank you Arigato

Thank you v much! Domo Arigato Gozaimasu
