    1. Yeah, I'm getting used to it, too. What do you think, though? Do you like it?

  2. Haven't heard that one yet. Is it local?

    1. I think "Tag" is generally short for guten Tag, but "Tag tag, na?" is a strictly G-speak, I think! Plus, he only uses it for his family. Otherwise, he just uses "Moin" for everything!

  3. So, what would your reaction have been if he had suddenly said "Moshi, moshi?" or "Hallo"? And what does "Moin" mean? Oops, my inner linguist is showing again...

    1. I would've been pretty surprised, I guess! Maybe G'll do that just to mess with my brain one day. And yes, "moin" just means "hallo," but it's a regional thing, mostly northern German! (G comes from Bremen.)
