Northern Germany gets ignored quite a bit by travelers from abroad, I think. Most people think of half-timbered houses, lederhosen, pretzels and maybe the Alps or the black forest. Which is 100% southern Germany 😅 You do have pretty beaches, but the weather is pretty unpredictable. Plattdeutsch is pretty similar to some (?) Dutch dialects and kind of a missing link between old English and German I guess. It's really hard for Germans from other parts of the country to understand. If they can understand it at all... the north is a really beautiful place and if you like fish, all the better 😂 oh and "Moin" means something like "have a good one (day)", I guess. I think a happy "moin!" from a northerner sounds so cute 😄

Many stereotypes of germany in the US like the "lederhosen & Dirndl" or tge large Beerhalls, come from the US military personel stationed here after WW2.
But that the American ocupation zone was in south germany, mainly Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg and Hessen, they had very little to no contact to north german culture.

Wanna make a bet that moin and morning are closely related?
The Plattdeutsch, or Low German, is directly related to the old Frisian and the language of the Hanseatic League. Which was a trading association in the late medieval times. They were so successful all along the North Sea and Baltic Sea countries that their language was spoken nearly everywhere . It heavily influenced the medieval English as well.
An old English speaker has almost zero problems understanding a Low German speaker because they are so similar.
So moin and morning are probably related closely.😊

I wonder, when the tea ceremony started and when the water became germ-containing, as the earlist connection of water and illness was in the mid 19th centrury with Cholera that came from Asia and only affected the big cities, where there were so many people, that in the slums the dirt poisened the water.
But there a now such big cities in East-Frisia.

Moin comes from mooi which is the word for good in low Saxon/ low German and in Dutch.
The high German equivalent would be gut.

[Humpelstilzchen]

German dialects, even not officialy recognised as such, are basicaly different languages if spoken in their raw state 😅

[kathischmiddldiddl]

Moin from Meckpom Northern Germany. Yes we do have some of the best beaches in all of Europe! Rügen and Usedom are the most popular Islands here but I think the prettiest one is the Darß. The Lake Müritz and his close neighbor Tollensesee are nice to Visit too.

I love visiting my cousins in Bremen. They use "moin" for greeting, no matter the time of day. They don't like Hamburger people because they use "moin moin" and they really think it's too much. Bremen is beeeeaauuuutiful and all the itty bitty towns around. Friend ly but sometimes stern people and very enjoyable food like Hackepeter, Knipp, and various fishbread.

[xwormwood]

Your Moin sounded pretty legid! Btw.: Platt ist spoken in the US, too. Ask the Mennonites or Amish. :)

2:22 Standard German speakers would like instinctively think that „moin“ means „morning“ cuz it’s similar to the standard German word „Morgen“ which is obviously similar to the English word. „good“ means „gut“ in standard German.
It’s just weird that standard German is closer to English in this case cuz English is actually way closer to low German as it has its origin in northern Germany

Northern Germany is very well known among the Americans because there the Americans had their only port in Germany, in Bremerhaven. Unfortunately, the Americans are no longer there. Those who were stationed there in Bremerhaven can tell a lot about northern Germany's most beautiful dune islands, "the East Frisian Wadden Islands". Moin .... from Northwest Germany

[DJoneone]

Moin from Bremerhaven at the north sea coast. Bremen, our Federal state is the smallest federal states in germany and for some americans interesting. Because in the 19th comes over 7 mio. People over Bremerhaven to America. And today the US Army have a little harbour here for his stuff.
By the way, Bremen exists 12 times as a city name or municipality/town name in the USA.
Here in Bremerhaven we a special Museum about the Emigration of the people. The Auswandererhaus (Emigration House).

2:19 dutch and low german has much in common and you can also find many English counterparts in the low german language.

Greetings from northern Germany, the mostly overlooked part where we dont wear Lederhosen 🥲👍

Low German is like a mix of Dutch and Standard German linguistically
