Moin (opens in new tab)

My grandparents live in Groningen (The Netherlands) near the border with Germany and saying 'moi' to everyone you meet is one of the highlights when I visit the village they live in.

PS: I think I visited this wikipedia article earlier this week, but I cannot figure out why, very coincidental, what prompted you to post this?

I'm surprised to see this pop up here. Wonder why?

I have to explain Moin so often that I started linking to this article from the "about me" section on my blog: https://merlinscholz.name/

In southern Brazil's german towns people greet with "Moi" or "Moia". It was explained to be a contraction of "gutten Morgen".

In Luxembourg https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Moien

After 20 years, I learned what MoinMoin wiki was named after. (if I knew it, I totally forgot.)

Moin moin HH!!!
