Hints for this Quiz
Think southern Germany; formal vibe.
In southern Germany and Austria, “Grüß Gott” is a polite, regionally common greeting in formal or semi-formal contexts like a practice or office.
Northern Germany has a short, all-day greeting.
In northern Germany, people often say “Moin,” and it works all day long, not just in the morning.
Choose the most informal, super-short opener.
“Na?” is a very casual opener among friends. It’s more colloquial than “Hi” and not used in formal situations.
Singular + informal form of address.
“Grüß dich” addresses one person informally (du). “Grüß euch” would be for several people, and “Grüß Gott” is more formal/regional.
Think Bavarian politeness.
In Bavaria, “Grüß Gott” is a common polite greeting in shops. “Moin” is northern; “Servus” is informal; “Hi” is very casual/English.
Northern port city = one short word.
At the Hamburg harbor, a local and casual all-day greeting is “Moin.”
Think globally understood, casual word.
“Hi” is widely understood and informal. It’s fine with peers but not ideal for formal situations.
Southern regions and Austria are key here.
“Servus” is typical in southern German regions like Bavaria and in Austria; it’s informal and can mean hello or bye.
