✕Common Mistakes
Guter Morgen, alle zusammen!
‘Guter’ is the nominative form; the correct accusative form in the fixed phrase is ‘Guten’.
Guten Morgen alle zusammen!
A comma after ‘Morgen’ separates the greeting from the address and mirrors spoken pauses.
Guten Morgen, die alle zusammen!
Do not add an article; ‘alle zusammen’ already means ‘everyone together’. Adding ‘die’ would be redundant.

Hi everyone! (Northern Germany)

Hello everyone!
Guten Tag, alle zusammen!
Good day, everyone!
Cultural Tip
In German‑speaking countries, ‘Guten Morgen’ is used until about 10 am; after that people switch to ‘Guten Tag’. The comma before ‘alle zusammen’ is optional in casual writing but recommended for clarity. In formal business meetings you might address the audience with ‘Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren’ instead of the informal ‘alle zusammen’. Northern regions often replace ‘Guten Morgen’ with the short ‘Moin’.
