Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 1 day agoYou greet a Bavarian with “Grüß Gott” (good luck pronouncing that one correctly) or “Servus”.
First word rhymes with “goose”, second is pronounced as it looks? That’s what my decades-rusty language skills are telling me, at least.

“Gruß” rhymes with “Goose”, yes. But you have to pronounce the Ü in “Grüß”. U and Ü are not the same letter. I cant think of any phonetic example in the english language to explain how to ponounce it.
The second word you can just pronounce like the english word “Got”, yes.

Ü is fairly simple to “construct”. The tongue position is like in “ee” (like in geese), but the lips are pointed like in “oo” (like goose).
