I'm curious about the common greetings used by Germans. I want to know what they typically say when they meet or greet someone, whether it's a formal or informal setting. Are there specific phrases or words they use?

A common greeting in German is "Hallo!", which is equivalent to "Hello" in English. This is a standard greeting that can be used at any time of the day.

As the day progresses, "Guten Tag" is used, which means "Hello", "Good day", or "Good afternoon", depending on the time of day. This greeting is used until the sun goes down.
