My grandparents live in Groningen (The Netherlands) near the border with Germany and saying 'moi' to everyone you meet is one of the highlights when I visit the village they live in.

PS: I think I visited this wikipedia article earlier this week, but I cannot figure out why, very coincidental, what prompted you to post this?

I'm surprised to see this pop up here. Wonder why?
Trying to break up a history of posting links from the same domain with something else?
Just saying hello?
I have to explain Moin so often that I started linking to this article from the "about me" section on my blog: https://merlinscholz.name/
In southern Brazil's german towns people greet with "Moi" or "Moia". It was explained to be a contraction of "gutten Morgen".
After 20 years, I learned what MoinMoin wiki was named after. (if I knew it, I totally forgot.)
Moin moin HH!!!
