    In German there is “moin”. And a conversation might go like: “Moin. Moin.” As far as I’m concerned this greeting has no meaning at all. It could be derived from “morgen” (EN: morning), but you can use it at any time. So it’s basically a noise you make to acknowledge someone’s existence at this point. With varying degrees of enthusiasm.
