Basic German Greetings
- Use "Guten Morgen" for good morning, "Guten Tag" for good day/afternoon, and "Guten Abend" for good evening.
- These greetings are fundamental for polite interaction in German.
Asking and Giving Names
- To ask someone's name, use "Wie heißen Sie?" (formal) or "Wie heißt du?" (informal).
- Reply with "Mein Name ist..." or "Ich heiße..." followed by your name.
Regional Greeting
- In Southern Germany, particularly Bavaria, "Grüß Gott" (meaning "Greet God") is a common morning greeting.
- This reflects the region's traditionally Catholic background.
