Wie heißt du?

Freut mich, dich kennenzulernen

froyt mikh dikh ken-en-tsu-layr-nen

Nice to meet you

💬 [Freut mich] literally works like [pleased me], so German often says this instead of a word-for-word [nice to meet you]. [Dich kennenzulernen] is the [du] version; with formal [Sie], it becomes [Sie kennenzulernen].

🇩🇪 Good for first meetings in a bar if the tone is warm but not too forward. It sounds more natural in Germany than a direct translation of English small-talk lines.

Kommst du

komst doo

Do you come

💬 Yes/no questions in German often put the verb first: [Kommst du?] instead of [Du kommst?]. Same pattern: [Trinkst du Wein?]

Öfter hierher?

urf-ter hee-ar-hair

Here often?

💬 [Hierher] means movement toward here, not just location. Compare [bist du oft hier?] = you're often here, but [kommst du oft hierher?] = you come here often.

❓🔄

Kommst du öfter hierher?

komst doo urf-ter hee-ar-hair

Do you come here often?

💬 Yes/no questions in German often put the verb first: [Kommst du öfter hierher?] Same pattern: [Gehst du oft tanzen?]

🇩🇪 This is a standard opener, but it can sound a bit generic or rehearsed if dropped too early. It lands better after a little shared context, like talking about the bar or the drinks.
