GREETINGS in GERMAN | Learn German | German classes
What would we say in German when we see an interesting person and want to meet them?
First, we should greet them. So let's look at formal greetings in German:
If we are there between 6:00 AM and 12:00 PM, we should say:
Guten Morgen!
Repeat after me and pronounce it correctly:
Guten Morgen
If we are there between 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM, we should say:
Guten Tag!
Repeat and learn to pronounce it correctly:
Guten Tag!
In Germany, starting at 5:00 PM, we say:
Guten Abend!
And now we'll look at the informal greeting.
Hello
Keep in mind that when we say goodbye, we can say:
Auf Wiedersehen if we want to say goodbye formally
Tschüs if we want to say goodbye informally
And if we say goodbye to go to sleep, we should say:
Gute Nacht we have to be careful with the pronunciation of the word "Nacht" because there are two consonants at the end and we have to pronounce both, one after the other, first the "CH"; it is pronounced like a "J" and then the "T" "NACHT" "Gute Nacht!"
In this video lesson, we learned:
Guten Morgen!
Guten Tag!
Guten Abend!
Hello!
Auf Wiedersehen! if we want to say goodbye formally
Tschüs! if we want to say goodbye informally
Good Night
Have you noticed that when we write in German, nouns always have a capital letter? If not, look at the written expressions and from now on, remember that nouns are always capitalized, regardless of whether they are at the beginning, middle, or end of an expression.
