If you’re writing a formal email or letter in German, you might wonder how to include "how are you in German" in your message. In formal writing, it's common to start with a polite inquiry about the recipient’s well-being.
Example for a formal email:
"Sehr geehrter Herr Müller,
Ich hoffe, es geht Ihnen gut."
(Dear Mr. Müller, I hope you are doing well.)
For informal emails:
"Hallo Anna,
Wie geht’s dir?"
(Hi Anna, how’s it going?)
Adjusting your greeting based on formality is key to sounding professional and polite in written communication.
