Here in Austria it's a common, respectful greeting. But then, you Germans are just fucked in the head, and Bavaria is the last, true Germany.Eboreus wrote:
yeah that's a lot better (no offense meant).
and as for the 'Grüß Gott' that seems to be more like a Bavarian thing. Quite rare in the other states. If you want to have a more official version, you can use the good old 'Guten Tag'. But 'Hallo' is more than appropriate in this case.
@ Flemish, yeah I figured that out after I actually translated it all^*AlphA*^ wrote:

I made up the idea for the project, we all do our own, so i choose the languages. i just chose those randomly...if you want to (or anyone else wants to) i'll add Finnish and Swedish to the list.suomalainen_äijä wrote:

Well then take Bavaria to your super friendly Austria - we don't want and need it anyway. And next time don't confuse the poor guys by claiming you speak German. Label it as Austrian from the beginning and we all know what kind of language you are speaking

It's never offending to say hi or thank you in the countrys native language. I almost always learn those when I'm abroad.

I missunderstood him.Zimmer wrote:
Gawwad, he means the word "Hallo" in German and that it is very similar to English, so he thinks its more appropriate using a word which signifies more respect towards that language. Like Gruss Gott.
No, people respect you for trying, but they will respect you even more if you go that one step further. Brits are the worst tourists in the world. They don't give two shits about speaking the other persons language, if they don't speak english then they get abused. I hate watching that in Spain. Hell, I even told an english to fuck off from the bar if he couldn't speak Spanish. Disrespect at its utmost level. I hate it.
