Hints for this Quiz

Think: What would you text to a close friend without sounding aggressive?
Wähle die natürlichste, lockere Option.
“Na” is a very casual, friendly opener in German chats. The formal greetings sound stiff, and “Ey” can sound confrontational depending on context.
Which option means “by the way” and softly shifts the topic?
“BTW” (by the way) signals a side note or topic shift. It’s common in informal chats. The other options either don’t fit the function or sound off in tone.
Choose the chill, friendly opener often used among friends.
“Yo” works as a relaxed opener among friends. The other choices are formal or not suitable for chat tone.
Which word can spike the tone and feel like a verbal poke?
“Ey” can sound aggressive, especially with criticism. The others soften the tone or sound more neutral.
Translate the English chat abbreviation into simple German.
“idk (ugs.)” is informal and means “I don’t know,” i.e., “Ich weiß nicht.”
Think business email etiquette—keep it formal.
These are casual chat markers. In a formal email, avoid them and use standard polite phrases instead.
