Beautiful. Straight up. Literally walking, not talking. He did say walking. The greeting everyone, such a good German boy. And pfand. Yes. So proud. Beautiful. If only other places were so awesome!
Not even just outside germany. When my ex from nrw visited me in ba-wü, I said hello or similar to everyone. In my area are a lot of old people and they either said Grüß Gott or wanted to be greeted He kinda freaked out, thinking I knew all these people.

Saying hello to everyone you meet is such a german thing OK edit, it's more likely to say hello on the countryside than in the City, I don't know what you mean with aldi and Mercedes and I'm from northern Germany where you say moin(but not moin moin that's drunk). ok da hier jeder deutsche nicht versteht das moin moin etwas ist das man entweder nur sagt wenn man betrunken oder hamburger ist hier nochmal auf deutsch. 20.7. : ich versteh nicht wieso das immernoch leute sehen
yeah, its that superficial bullshit we do here. Friendly on the outside, dead from the inside. Like driving a mercedes but having aldi bags in the back
Saying Hello: No, is not just German. Is common sense while in nature - we do the same thing while out and about Carpathian Mountains and forests here in East Europe - not saying hallo is considered rude and “don’t dare to ask for some water you rude person unless you die” 😅😅 “ protect you from bears with my spray ? Natural selection you rude rude biped ” 😅
Tbh I noticed it's generally a thing when you're out hiking when it's in a more remote place. Currently in Japan, I started greeting every hiker I met and they were all happy to respond lol, sometimes they even say it first. Always makes me happy
Greeting someone is SO important, especially in rural areas. If you meet someone while hiking, it's also kinda expected. But trust me, if you don't greet a person you know in your small town / village, they'll remember it. This especially applies to older people.
As a German i feel English when i see him. He doesn't have a german passport he IS the german passport. I have to ask HIM if he can speak english because my german is not german enough to talk with him. Damn....😂
I never knew I was really a German. “Hallo” “Hallo” “Hallo”. That’s how I greet other walkers, nothing complicated, just acknowledging their existence.
I swear the 'greeting everyone' is so real. Especially when you're on the countryside and work in customer service. I went to Vienna once and auto-smiled at a ton of people who were probably really confused 😂

Going for a walk in Norddeutschland would be like: "Moin" "Moin" "Moin Moin" "Moin". It doesnt even matter what time it is you can say it everytime
The ethymology of moin is not settled, it doesn't mean morning, and it's not settled that it ever did. It could be short for "Moin daag."
You shouldn’t say „Moin Moin“ in many parts of the north - way too chatty.
