Cultural Tip
German speakers value precision, so asking ‘Stimmt die Info?’ is perfectly normal and not considered impolite. However, ‘Info’ is colloquial; in very formal business emails you might prefer ‘Information’ or ‘Angaben’. Also, Germans often follow up a verification request with a brief thank‑you (e.g., ‘Danke für die Rückmeldung’).
