Hints for this Quiz
Think: traditional southern greeting.
In southern Germany and Austria, people often greet strangers outdoors with “Grüß Gott”. It sounds formal but is a normal regional hello.
It’s a goodbye, not a hello.
“Pfiat di” (dialect) is an informal “bye” in Austria/Bavaria, literally “May God protect you.”
It literally relates to mealtime.
In many German-speaking offices, people say “Mahlzeit” around lunchtime as a casual greeting.
Think south of the German-speaking area.
“Servus” is common in Bavaria and Austria as a casual hello/bye. It’s not typical for formal letters or northern Germany.
