A formal greeting used during daytime, equivalent to 'good day' or 'hello'.
Guten Tag, Herr Müller. Wie kann ich Ihnen helfen?
Good day, Mr. Müller. How can I help you?
Used in formal or professional settings, especially in business or official contexts.
Use 'Guten Tag' in formal or professional settings, while 'Hallo' is more casual.
Unlike English, 'Guten Tag' can be used throughout the day, not just in the morning.
From 'gut' (good) + 'Tag' (day), combining to mean 'good day'.
More formal than 'Hallo' and typically used in professional or polite settings. Can be used at any time of day, though 'Guten Morgen' (morning) and 'Guten Abend' (evening) are more specific.
