Guten morgen...Wie geht's es Ihnen: German for "Good morning, how are you?"
moot: subject to debate, dispute, or uncertainty, and typically not admitting of a final decision.
enumerated: mention (a number of things) one by one
shoal: linear landform completely within or extending into a body of water
lugubriously: looking or sounding sad and dismal
One wouldn't say ,,Wie geht's es Ihnen?", rather ,,Wie geht es Ihnen?" (formal) or ,,Wie geht's?" (informal).
ReplyDeleteThat's the exact way it was written in the book, but thanks for the clarification! Your German skills are clearly better than Vonnegut's :)
