Hallo?

It's been unbearably hot these last few days so my radar for learning has been soaked in sweat. Besides learning that an ugly air conditioner is a beautiful air conditioner, something else did manage to reach my brain cells, and even though it's not very interesting, I learned it.

"Vie get es ihnen?" means "How are you?" in German, but not all Germans know that.

The person who uttered this phrase to the blank faces of some Deutschland visitors today was possibly suffering from heat retardation, but I'm guessing it's a dialect thing.

Oder was auch immer.
