Can you think of how weird it would be that someone greets you with the word "Moin"? Welcome to northern Germany...

i always use "yo"

context: yo means good in my native language

@BindView that's a word german pupils use during their pubertal phase... If they do not grunt to each other. That was never my style of communication...

@theScientist moin moin is used by the non native Hamburgers, who want to stick in. Usually you just say moin here tho

@Kimmax you mean there's a land where hamburgers live? That's amazing!

Also, Gude from Hessen.

I always use either "Hallo" or "Hey" when I'm with my friends.

@evilmupp3t haha. If you live in Hessen you should know that ppl from Hamburg are called Hamburgers 😂
Hello back to southern germany

"Moin Moin ist schon Gesabbel"...

I'm from the south but living in the north now (Bremen) and yes, 'Moin' is indeed something you have to get used to :D

I always use “moin”, although i don’t live in northern Germany. 😅

The best part of Moin is that it is very universal. You can use it the whole day (in contrast to good morning and the such). While it is not very formal you can use it to greet a customer (if your relationship is better than you want to kill each other and the customer is also from the north) without being unrespectful as well as your friends or even complete strangers. It has a whole set of meanings that no other greeting covers. Gotta love platt.
