Having become acquainted with the basics of German grammar, we will consider a basic set of phrases that will be useful in various communication situations.
After studying this lesson, you will learn how to say hello and goodbye in German.

Greetings

Like any other language, German has several ways to greet someone. You can say good morning or just say hello, or you can say a simple “hello.” The main thing is to remember who your interlocutor is and what kind of relationship you are in.

If you greet a stranger or people with whom you have a business relationship, you can use the following phrases:

Guten Morgen[´gu:ten ´morgen] - Good morning. You can usually say this phrase before noon.

Guten Tag[´gu:ten ta:k] - Good afternoon. This phrase is used from noon to 6 pm.

Guten Abend[´gu:ten ´a:bent] - Good evening. This greeting is used after 6 pm.

Also in German there is a neutral greeting Hallo [halo], which means “Hello” and can be used in any situation. There is no analogue to the Russian word “hello” in the German language.

When meeting, in addition to greetings, you can also use a number of useful phrases or questions.

“Wie geht es Ihnen?”[vi gate es ´inen] - How are you (with you)? - do not forget that this question is formal.

"Geht es Ihnen gut?"[gate es ´inen gut] -Are you all right?

The answer to this question is the phrase: "Gut, danke."[gu:t ´danke] - Everything is fine, thank you.

Or phrase “Es geht mir sehr gut.”[es gate mia zea gut] - I'm fine.

Or: "Ziemlich gut."[´tsimlikh gu:t] - Good enough.

You can also use the phrase "Sehr erfreut."[zea er'froyt] - Glad to meet you.

To be polite and ask a question in return, use the phrase "Und Ihnen?"[unt ´inen] - What about you?

Remember that all of these phrases are very formal and are used in business communication situations.

In an informal communication situation, use analogues of the above phrases, namely:
"Wie geht es dir?"[vi gate es dia] - How are you (with you)?

This phrase in spoken German is often shortened to "Wie geht's?"[vi gates] - How are you?

The answer to this question could be the following phrase: “Es geht mir gut.”[Es gate mia gu:t] – I’m fine.

"Super!"[´zu:pea] – Excellent!

"Nicht schlecht."[nykht shlekht] - Not bad.

In response, it is customary to ask the question: "Und dir?"– [unt dia] - What about you?

As for pronunciation, remember that voiced g, b, d in German are pronounced voiceless, so in the word “guten” the first sound will be very close to the Russian sound “k”.

It is interesting to note that some parts of Germany have their own customized greetings. For example, greeting "Moin Moin!"[moin moin] or simply “Moin!” widespread in Northern Germany,

and the phrase "Grüß Gott"[grus goth] - in the South.

If you need to wish a person good night, phrases will help you "Schlaf gut"[shlaf gut] - Sleep well,

or "Gute nacht"[´gute nakht] - Good night.

Parting

To end a conversation and say goodbye in German, the following phrases are used:

"Auf Wiedersehen!"[auf ´videa´zeen] - Goodbye! The shortened form Wiedersehen is used in informal communication.

"Auf Wiederhören!"[auf 'videa'khoren] - Goodbye! — This phrase is used if you are talking on the phone.

It is interesting to note that in the pronunciation in both of these phrases, the sounds [f] and [v] practically merge into one, so [v] weakens and is pronounced close to the sound [f]. The vowel sounds [i] and [e] are long, do not forget about this.

"Tschüss!"[chus] - Bye! — An informal farewell phrase.

If you want to sound more casual, phrases can help "Bis morgen!"[bis ´morgen] - See you tomorrow!

“Bis bald!”[bis balt] - Bye! See you soon!

"Bis dann!"[encore given] - See you soon!

A common form of farewell among teenagers and young adults is the phrase “Tschau/ciao!”- Ciao!

In some parts of Germany farewell is used Adieu![adyo] - Bye! This phrase was borrowed from French, which means “Go with God.”

What is your name?

To introduce yourself, you will need phrases such as:
Ich heiße…. [ihi ´haise] - My name is...

Mein Name ist….. [main ´na:me] - My name is… . This phrase can be used when you want to say only the first name, or the first and last names.

To give only the last name, the following phrases will help you:
Mein Vorname… [main ´foana:me]

Mein Familyname… [main fa´milienname]

If you are interested in the name of the person you are talking to, you can ask the following questions:
Wie heißen Sie?[vi: ´haisen zi] - when addressing a person with “you”.

Wie heißt du?[vi: haist do] - when addressing a person using “you”.

Wie heißt ihr?[vi: haist ia] - when addressing a group of people using “you”.

If you have already been asked this question, and you want to show interest in return, you can use a short one:
Und Sie?[Unt zi] - And you?

Und du?[Unt doo] - And you?

Be prepared to be addressed politely as Herr/Frau (Mr./Madam) in Germany. Most often you will encounter this appeal at a hotel or airport/vocal. For example:

Sind Sie Frau Weiß?[sint zi Frau Weiss] - Are you Mrs. Weiss?

You can answer in two ways:

• agree - Ja, ich Frau Weiß[I, ich bin Frau Weiss]. - Yes, I'm Mrs. Weiss.

• or disagree - Nein, ich bin Frau Schwarz[nein, ich bin Frau Schwartz]. - No, I'm Mrs. Schwartz.

Where are you from?

To say where you are from, use the following pattern:
Ich bin aus Russia. [ikh bin aus ´ruslant]. Ich komme aus Russland [ich kome aus Russland]. - I'm from Russia. Instead of a country, you can name a city or any other locality. To indicate the place where you currently live, use the verb wohnen. Don't forget to conjugate this verb by person!
Ich wohne in Moscow[ikh vone in ´moskau] - I live in Moscow.

If you want to ask where your conversation partner is from or where they live, use these questions:
Woher commen Sie?[vo´hea komen zi] - Where are you from?

It is interesting to note that in the question word “woher” the part “her” can be moved to the end of the question, so that it turns out:
Wo kommst du her?[vo komst do hea] - Where are you from?

You can also use these phrases:
Sind Sie aus Morokko?[zint zi aus ma´roko] - Are you from Morocco?

Kommen Sie aus Italien?[´komen zi aus it´alien] - Are you originally from Italy?

Aus welchem ​​Land kommen Sie?[aus welhem lant komen zi] - What country are you from?

Another question related to this topic - “Wo sind Sie geboren?”[wo zint zi ge´boren]

“Wo bist du geboren?”[vo bist do ge´boren] - Where were you born?/Where were you born?

The answer is the phrase “Ich bin in……. geboren"[ikh bin in….. ge´boren]. In the place of the gap, put the desired settlement, for example a city.

What is your phone number?

If you want to find out a phone number, then use the question “Wie ist Ihre Telefonnummer?”[vi: ist ´ire tele´fonnumea], when you address a person with “you”.

AND “Wie ist deine Telefonnummer?”[vi: ist ´daine tele´fonnumea] - if you communicate on “you”.

German is spoken by millions of people, not only in Germany, but also in Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg and other places around the world. Of course, to speak fluent German, you will have to study for a long time, but you can master the simplest phrases very quickly. Whether you're traveling to a German-speaking country, want to impress someone, or just want to learn a little about a new language, you'll benefit from the tips in this article. We will teach you how to greet people, introduce yourself, say goodbye, thank them, ask basic questions or ask for help.

Steps

Part 1

Use standard greeting forms. Each German-speaking country has its own special greetings. However, the standard forms below will be appropriate in any of them.

• "Guten Tag" (guten so) - "good afternoon" (used as the most common greeting during the day)
• “Guten Morgen” (guten morgen) - “good morning”
• “Guten Abend” (guten abent) - “good evening”
• “Gute Nacht” (gute nacht) - “good night” (said before bed, usually only between close people)
• “Hallo” (halo) - “hello” (used anywhere and anytime)

1. Remember the difference between formal and informal address in German. In German, as in Russian, it is customary to address unfamiliar people differently (formally, with “you”) and close acquaintances (informally, with “you”). However, unlike Russian, in German the polite “you” in the singular and “you” in the plural are two different words. For example, to ask someone's name, you would say:

   • "Wie heißen Sie?" (vi haisen zi) - “what is your name?” (formally)
   • “Wie heißt du?” (vi haist do) - “what is your name?” (informal)

2. Say goodbye. Forms of farewell, like greetings, may differ depending on where you are and who you are talking to. However, in general you can't go wrong if you use one of the following:

   • "Auf Wiedersehen" - "goodbye"
   • “Tschüss” (chyus) - “for now”
   • “Ciao” ​​(ciao) - “for now” (this word is Italian, but is often used by Germans)

Part 2

1. Ask the person how he is doing. Not only will you be polite, but you will also demonstrate your knowledge of German!

   Tell me how you are doing. If you are asked the question “wie geht es Ihnen?” or “wie geht"s?”, you can answer in different ways.

   Ask the person where they are from. A good start to a conversation would be to ask your interlocutor what city or country he is from. There are the following phrases for this (both formal and informal).

   • “Woher kommen Sie?” (woher komen zi) / “woher kommst du?” (voher comst du) - “Where are you from?” / "Where are you from?"
   • “Ich komme aus...” (ikh kome aus...) - “I am from...”. For example, “ich komme aus Russland” (ich kome aus Russland) - “I am from Russia.”
   • “Wo wohnen Sie?” (wo wonen zi) / “wo wohnst du?” (vonst doo) - “where do you live?” / "where do you live?". The verb “wohnen” is used with the name of a city, street, exact address; for a country or continent (but often for a city too) “leben” is used - “wo leben Sie?” (wo leben zi) / “wo lebst du?” (in lebst do).
   • “Ich wohne in...” (ikh vone in...) or “ich lebe in...” (ikh lebe in...) - “I live in...”. For example, “ich wohne/lebe in Moskau” (ich wohne/lebe in Moscow) - “I live in Moscow.”

Part 3

1. Learn a few more simple useful phrases."Ja" means "yes", "nein" means "no".

   • "Wie bitte?" (vi bite) - “I beg your pardon?” (if you need to ask again)
   • “Es tut mir leid!” (es here is peace - “I’m sorry!”
   • "Entschuldigung!" (entschuldigung) - “sorry!”

2. Learn to say "please" and "thank you." In principle, there is a formal and informal way of expressing gratitude, but the usual “danke” - “thank you” - can be used in any situation.

3. Learn to formulate simple requests and questions about objects. To find out if something is available in a store, restaurant or similar place, you can ask “haben Sie...?” (haben zi...) - “do you have...?” For example, "haben Sie Kaffee?" (haben zi cafe) - “do you have coffee?”

   • If you want to ask about the price of something, ask the question “wie viel kostet das?” (vi fil costat das) - “how much does it cost?”

4. Learn to ask for directions. If you are lost or want to find a place, the following phrases will come in handy.

   • To ask for help, say: "Können Sie mir helfen, bitte?" (kyonen zi world helfen, bite) - “Could you help me, please?”
   • To ask for a location, say "Wo ist...?" (in ist...) - “where is...?” For example, “wo ist die Toilette, bitte?” (wo ist di toilette, - “where is the toilet?” or “wo ist der Bahnhof?” (wo ist der Bahnhof) - “where is the train station?”
   • To make your question sound more polite, start it with an apology: “Entschuldigen Sie bitte, wo ist der Bahnhof?” (entschuldigen si bite, vo ist der Bahnhof) - “excuse me, please, where is the station?”
   • To find out if a person speaks another language, ask: “Sprechen Sie englisch (russisch, francösisch...)?” (sprechen si english (russish, french...)), that is: “Do you speak English (Russian, French...)?”

5. Learn to count in German. In general, German numerals follow the same logic as Russian or English ones. The main difference is that in numbers from 21 to 100, units are placed before tens. For example, 21 is “einundzwanzig”, literally “one and twenty”; 34 is “vierunddreißig” (firundreisikh), literally “four and thirty”; 67 is “siebenundsechzig” (zibenuntzekhtsikh), literally “seven and sixty” and so on.

   • 1 - “eins” (ains)
   • 2 - “zwei” (tswei)
   • 3 - “drei” (dri)
   • 4 - “vier” (fir)
   • 5 - “ünf” (fuenf)
   • 6 - “sechs” (zeks)
   • 7 - “sieben” (ziben)
   • 8 - “acht” (aht)
   • 9 - “neun” (noyn)
   • 10 - “zehn” (tseyn)
   • 11 - “elf” (elf)
   • 12 - “zwölf” (zwölf)
   • 13 - “dreizehn” (draizen)
   • 14 - “vierzehn” (firzein)
   • 15 - “ünfzehn”
   • 16 - “sechzehn”
   • 17 - “siebzehn” (ziptsehn)
   • 18 - “achtzehn” (achtzeyn)
   • 19 - "neunzehn"
   • 20 - “zwanzig” (tsvantsikh)
   • 21 - “einundzwanzig”
   • 22 - “zweiundzwanzig” (tsvayuntzvantsikh)
   • 30 - “dreißig” (dreisikh)
   • 40 - “vierzig” (firtsikh)
   • 50 - “ünfzig”
   • 60 - “sechzig” (zekhtsikh)
   • 70 - “siebzig” (ziptsikh)
   • 80 - “achtzig” (ahtsikh)
   • 90 - "neunzig"
   • 100 - “hundert” (hundert)
