Germans respect its neighbors from the south so much that several have adopted their greeting in German.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Italians are the largest group of non-Germans in Germany behind Turks, and there was even a relatively little group of Italian Gastarbeiter the guest workers brought into the country during the 1950\u2019s. Germans have loved visiting Italy since the days of Goethe, so it is only natural that such a cool, useful word got adopted up by savvy Germans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gr\u00fc\u00df Gott!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Greet God! if you visit to Catholic southern Germany, you will get to hear this expression every time during formal occasions from store cashiers, bus drivers and further more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Be cautious regarding saying it yourself, you really must not say it in casual conversation unless the context is completely right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you say this in any other part of Germany (except from the south) you will get a quite weird look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Servus!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A typical greeting in the south, this one actually means \u201cI am your servant\u201d in Latin. One can use it to say either \u201chello\u201d or \u201cgoodbye.\u201d Simply don\u2019t be surprised when you hear someone saying a phrase akin to \u201cServus! Schei\u00dfe, noch \u2018ne Bayer.\u201d Greetings! Oh no, another Bavarian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Na?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One usual way of greeting people is by saying \u201cNaaaa?\u201d Which means \u201cWell???\u201d This is not a question you need to answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
