respectness should probably change to respect

So it cannot generally be recommended to try this (although it might be an unforgettable learning experience) | |

| Feb 22, 2016 at 10:32 | comment | added | tofro | Agree with the first statement - The choice of "Sie" or "Du" is much more guided by the distance you have (or even want to keep) from the counterpart than by respect. | |
| Feb 22, 2016 at 9:32 | comment | added | BenSower | A little disclaimer extending the original warning: do NOT use "ARSCHLOCH" as a greeting. Chances are, that german speakers won't understand you. I am half-swabian (parents...) and have swabian relatives and friends and NEVER heard "Arschloch" in a greeting manner. | |
