Halla!, Tag! and Griifl dich! all mean "Hello" or "Hi." Although Halla! is commonly heard throughout Germany, Griifl dich! is more often heard in southern Germany and Tag! in the rest of the country. All three are informal greetings an d are used among young pe ople, friends and relatives. Additional greetings that often can be heard for "Hello" are Griifl Gatt! in southern Germany and Guten Tag! in other parts of the country.

Tschiis! or Tschau! is a casual Halla! form of AufWiedersehen!, meaning "good-bye." It's quite common for people to drop the first word and simply say Wiedersehen!

Manfred challenges them by writing all the syllables of the guests' names on pieces of paper. Can you help Manfred's friends figure out who will be at his party?

Greetings, Farewells and Introductions As you have already learned, the normal German greeting is Guten Tag! Often the first word is dropped and you'll simply hear Tag! or people just mumble 'n Tag! In southern Germany you will rarely hear Guten Tag!, but rather Griifi Gott! Young people in that region will also greet each other with Griifi dich! In Austria, people often greet each other with Serous! Many young people in Germany today just say Hallo!, which is similar to our Hi!

In the morning, most Germans say Guten Morgen! or simply Morgen!, whereas in the evening they say Guten Abend! or again just mumble 'n Abend! When entering a town or city, visitors are often greeted with a sign that says Willkommen!

Kapitell

AufWiedersehen! (literally, "Until I see again") or simply Wiedersehen! means "good-bye." Tschiisl or Tschau! are very casual forms of "good-bye." It comes closest to the American "See you!" or "So long!"

Germans do a lot more handshaking than Americans. Germans not only shake hands when being introduced, but many still consider a handshake as part of the everyday greeting. To a German, it means little more than saying "Hello." A nod of the head usually accompanies the handshake. When meeting acquaintances in the street, in shops or elsewhere in public, Germans usually shake hands only if they intend to chat.

Was weigl du? (What do you know?)

BComplete each statement with the appropriate German phrase or expression based on the Aktuelles section.

1. _! is a more formal form of "good-bye" than _! or_!

2. The standard greeting in the morning is _ !

3. In southern Germany, people in the street will greet each other with _I; however, young people in that region will say_!

4. The normal German greeting during the dayis _!

5. _! is the typical good-bye phrase.

6. Austrians will often greet one another with !

fUrdich There are many German words that look the same or are similar to English words.These words are called cognates.The word"cognate" comes from "recognize." If you recognize a word in German because there is a similar word in English, it may be a cognate.You won't have any problems identifying the cognates that are part of the following photos. Unfortunately, there are words in German that are false cognates. A false cognate is a German word that looks like an English word but means something quite different. For example, if you would like to send a gift to someone in Germany, don't mark -----.-­your package with the word

means

"gift." The word Gift in German

Du oder Sie? Both du and Sie mean "you." However, du is considered the informal mode of address. Family members always say du to refer to one another. Children are always addressed with du until mid-adolescence.The du form is also used in prayers and church services. Finally, du is used to address animals.

For Germans, there is nothing formal about Sie. For instance, people may work in the same office for years and still call each other Sie, yet the atmosphere can be very friendly and

pleasant. Who else uses du? Primarily blue-collar workers, students as well as military personnel or police officers of equal rank use du to refer to each other.

People you know well socially-called Bekannte (acquaintances)-are addressed with Sie, while close personal friends-called Freunde-are addressed with du. Young people, too, quickly tend to use the du form for one other.

Sagen sie Sie?

14 Du oder Sie? Indicate which form you, as a student in Germany, would use if you were to talk to these people or animals.

1. a fifteen-year-old exchange student

2. your doctor

3. a police officer

4. your friend

5. your father or mother

6. a teacher

7. a six-year-old child

8. your cat

9. your aunt

10. your friend's uncle

5PRACHE The Familiar Form: du and ihr The familiar forms du and ihr, both meaning "you," are used when speaking to relatives, close friends, children and animals.

(Mrs. Schmidt is speaking to a child)

Wo wohnst du? Where do you live?

(Andreas is talking to his new classmates)

Woh er kommt ihr? Where do you come from?

Note that du is used to address one person and ihr is used for two or more people.

(Kerstin asks Andreas and Petra)

Wohnt ihr hier? Do you live here?

The Formal Form: Sie The formal form Sie, meaning "you," is used when speaking to adults and to those not addressed by their first name.

(Thomas is talking to his teacher)

Wo wohnen Sie, Herr Schulz? Where do you live, Mr. Schulz?

(Mrs. Muller is talking to her new neighbors)

Kenn en Sie die Hoffmanns, Do you know the Hoffmanns, Herr und Frau Meier? Mr. and Mrs. Meier?

Present Tense Verb Forms In the present tense in English, there are basically two different verb forms for all persons. For example, "live" is used for all persons, except after "he,""she" or "it" where it is "lives." In German, however, the verb has more forms, as can be seen in the chart.

To use the proper form, you need to know the infinitive of the particular verb. The infinitive of the English verb forms "came" or"comes"is "to come." The infinitive of a l01 German verb ends with -en as in gehen, komm en or ~ e(L wohnen (in a few cases just -n).The infinitive is h a combination of the stem of the verb and the fJe ending (infinitive =stem + ending).

When the stem of a verb is known, you need to know the appropriate ending for the particular singular or plural for~.

The present tense of regular verbs requires the endings as indicated in the verb gehen (to go) below.

STEM + ENDING MEANING Singular Ich geh + e I go, I am going, I do go

du geh + st you go, you are going, you do go he goes, he is going, he does go

::e} geh + t she goes, she is going, she does go es it goes, it is going, it does go

STEM + ENDING MEANING Plural wir geh + en we go, we are going, we do go

ihr geh + t you go, you are going, you do go sie geh + en they go, they are going, they do go Sie geh + en you go, you are going, you do go

NOTE: If the stem of the verb for du ends in s or fl, then the s in the ending is dropped.

Heiflt du Martina? Is your name Martina?
