When you pick up the phone ...

[Gulalai]

onetime i picked up the phone and accidentally said my name instead of hello

I always start with hello, then if it's family, or other Muslim friends most of the time they say Asalamalaikum, and then i reply walaikumasalam I'm just used to answering the phone with "hello", it's like an automatic reaction. then following the hello i will say Asalamalaikum, or Walaikumasalam, or hey, or yo, or whats up etc.

jk i dont say yo LOL
only when i need something..... sometimes

To be honest I just let it hit the voicemail; if its someone or something I'd like to respond to I call 'em back.

@home .. I let my brothers have it, taking to relatives for me is a drag cuz there is nothing really to talk about.

If I do pick up its usually "hey whats up"..I find that usually tells people talk if you have something useful to say and gives them a hint that you're kinda busy ?-ish

I say Ja wohl

I say Ja wohl

1. "Jawohl" is written together.

2. You can only use it when answering a question or an imperative form of an order or something.

3. No one uses that terminology anymore because it´s somehow antique.

When answering the phone I say my family name or sometimes my full name.

Seems weird to many Afghans and they start to laugh but that´s how it works in Germany.

haha a single child is about the most rarest thing back home, but I'm the eldest so I was a single child for a fair bit of time.
