How to Say ‘You too’ in German
Dir auch
deer owkh
[deer owkh]
💬 Usage Tip: dir auch is a shortened reply: German often drops the repeated verb when it's obvious. So after a wish like Schönen Tag noch, Dir auch means "you too" without repeating the whole sentence.
🇩🇪 In Germany: This is natural, friendly shorthand in everyday conversation. In a more formal work setting, many people would still use it, but a fuller reply like Ihnen auch is safer with someone you address as Sie.
