The German word for 'hello' is Hallo. Au revoir is French for 'goodbye', and Hola is Spanish for 'hello'. Thus, the correct option is Hallo.
The German word for goodbye is Auf Wiedersehen. It is a formal way to say farewell in German-speaking countries. Adiós is the Spanish word for goodbye, and Arrivederci is the Italian word for goodbye.
The correct translation for 'pleased to meet you' in German is Schön, dich zu treffen, which is option 1. This phrase is commonly used when meeting someone for the first time, similar to saying 'nice to meet you' in English.
To ask 'How are you?' in German, you say Wie geht's? This is a common way to inquire about someone's well-being. The other options mean something different: Woher kommst du? means 'Where are you from?' and Was machst du? means 'What are you doing?'
In German, Guten Morgen is the correct greeting used in the morning. Guten Abend means 'Good Evening', and Guten Nachmittag is not commonly used; instead, Germans usually say Guten Tag for 'Good Day' in the afternoon.
Bis später means 'see you later' in German. It is a common way to bid farewell with the expectation of meeting again soon. Gute Reise means 'have a good trip', and Bitte means 'please'. Therefore, the correct option is Bis später.
The correct phrase for 'what's your name?' in German is Wie heißen Sie?. Option 1 is the correct translation, while Option 2 Wo wohnen Sie? means 'where do you live?' and Option 3 Wie alt sind Sie? means 'how old are you?'.
In German, to introduce yourself by saying My name is, you use the phrase Ich heiße.... While Ich bin... can also introduce yourself by saying I am..., the most direct translation of My name is... is Ich heiße.... The option Ich komme aus... means I come from..., which is used to indicate your place of origin.
In German, 'Danke schön' and 'Vielen Dank' are both ways to express gratitude, meaning 'thank you' and 'many thanks', respectively. However, 'Por favor' is Spanish for 'please' and is not a way to say 'thank you' in German.
In German, when someone says Danke (Thank you), the appropriate response to say you're welcome is Bitte. While Willkommen means welcome, it's used for greeting someone. Entschuldigung translates to excuse me or sorry, which is not suitable in this context.
