Auf Wiederlesen!

You don’t say Auf Wiedersprechen, do you?

@headbang8+42317:
Schauen is supposed to be the intentional variant of sehen, I reckon. But in the southern Deutschzone people often mix that up (or try to pretend that they mostly act with intent).

@42317:
Whether the fact that “Auf Wieder…” is mostly used in acts of communication that involve spoken language is defining or just coincidence is not obvious to me. I would argue that “Auf Wieder…” is used in active (or real-time) communication, so when chatting it would be appropriate. But ok, that’s hairsplitting and eventually the uses (also) create definitions.

@ Andrew:
“Riechen” (to smell) is not a conscious communicative act, and it can be argued whether it’s even paralanguage, so it would be foolish to construct such a formula.

@ headbang8:
Saying “schauen” instead of “sehen” is a local variation of Bavaria. There is nothing elso to explain about it.

Genauigkeit is my new fave word.

Since we’re on the net, I’ll just say auf Wiedertwitter, auf Wiederdiggit, auf Wiederblog, or auf Wiederkommentare.

Besten Grüßen.

@Andrew: a la Nelson from The Simpsons as well? Hilarious!
