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].
