💬 Usage Tip: [euch] shows this is the informal plural version. For one person use [dir], and for the polite form use [Ihnen]: [Wie geht es dir?] / [Wie geht es Ihnen?]

🇩🇪 In Germany: This is a normal warm opener with family or friends you're on [du] terms with. In a new in-law family, listen first: not every family uses [du] automatically across generations.
