Formal or Informal?

• In Deutschland, the greeting we use depends on how familiar you are with the other person.

• If you do not know them, or for adults or people of authority, you should be formal.

• If the other person is a friend, family member or peer, you can be informal.

• This is different than in the US, where we are always informal.
