What is "moin"?
What does "moin" mean? I see people say "moin" to each other on mirc. Does it something like "hi" or "hello"?
Thanks

Some people even say "moin-moin" sometimes. Meaning the same as "moin", intended to sound even more casual...

Yes, it is commonly used in the North of Germany and it means "Hello". In contrast to what some people believe it does *not* mean "Guten Morgen".

And the edit window is too small. Sorry.
'Maybe this wrong translation...' should be at the end of my 'Yes'-section after '...they THINK it would mean "Guten Morgen!"'

No, it doesn't mean 'Good morning!'. Knut wrote that some people believe it is 'Good morning', but it isn't. In the original region of this greeting 'moin' is used all day, even in the evening.
Nein, es bedeutet nicht "Guten Morgen!". Knut schrieb, dass manche (/einige) Leute glauben, dass es "Guten Morgen" heißt, aber das ist nicht richtig. In der ursprünglichen Region dieses Grußes wird er den ganzen Tag über benutzt, auch am Abend. Maybe this wrong translation becomes correct one day because of frequent use...
Yes, it means 'Good morning!'. Because in southern Germany people don't know about the proper use. And they use it for fun. Only in the morning, because they THINK it would mean "Guten Morgen!".
Ja, es bedeutet "Guten Morgen!". Weil die Leute in Süddeutschland nicht wissen, wie man es richtig verwendet (/einsetzt). Und sie benutzen es zum Spaß. Nur am Morgen, weil sie DENKEN, dass es "Guten Morgen!" heißt. Vielleicht wird diese falsche Übersetzung mit "Guten Morgen" durch den häufigen Gebrauch eines Tages richtig...
