Can't Touch Certain Materials

Servus! (And I mean that!)

The title of this blog is born at the dawn of my experience in Germany, as a direct continuation of the blog I wrote when I was in America ( Good Morning Texas! ). I liked the idea of \u200b\u200bmaintaining a wire through the titolo.Poi I discovered that almost no one, especially in Bavaria used this greeting in the morning, because, as in everything, even in this, the Germans are precise and use Guten Morgen the morning and Guten Abend the sera.Poi there are greetings locali.Qui in Bavaria, the most popular is Grüß dich , ie that I salute you, however, apply if you meet or Servus, which then derives from the analogous the Latin word that means, however slave. Strange, because even the word hello has the same origin, which derives from the Venetian skied which in turn derives from the Latin sclavus . It 's a bit as if to say hello, someone is prostrate at our feet by declaring an unconditional your servant! Forte. Today totally devoid of such meaning, brought it back as an empty sack. Even for the verb
greeting, the Germans have two words, one that shows the greeting when we meet, (be) grüßen and one for when you are greeted, in fact, sich verabschieden . What then would be so even in Italian, and greet say goodbye, goodbye, quit, just do not use these almost parole.Per fear, perhaps out of reverence, we behave in strange ways than our linguistic baggage preferring only the simplest words, immediate, fast and easy understanding, effect, perhaps, and then leave in the closet and into the hall of the forgotten, the words you specify, refining, defining as chisels accuracy, language of sculpture.
I'm not a conservative, reactionary, purist. Are perfectly aware of the necessary evolution of the 'body language, "just do not always mean real change and progress in evolution. I like contamination, traced, and even the neologisms but not throw an old cashmere sweater for a stylish polyester.

Language is the mirror of the times and seen how they talk on TV there is little to worry.
(Indeed, the quality of the clothes sold in major chain is bad!)
