Adressing people
Oftmals ist man sich unsicher, wie man jemanden im Gespräch anreden soll. Darf man den Vornamen verwenden? Sollte man auf Titel achten?
Wir sagen Ihnen, wie man es richtig macht.
1. First names?
British and American business partners often use first names in business. But using first names in English is not necessarily the same as the German "Du" relationship. In a business situation, it is usually comparable to a relationship in which Germans would say "Sie".
TIP: If you are meeting English-speaking business partners, agree in advance whether you will use first or family names.
