Ahoy all;

I am not sure this is the right forum to post this topic, but I looked around and did not find any where really suyitable.....

So here is my question...In quite a few posts I have seen, at the beginning of a post the following wor "Moin....XXX"

I guess it is some sort of ...Ahoy, hello, bonjour....??
Can anybody tell me ?

Merci

I believe you can hear it said many times over in Das Boot. Sometimes as "moin moin" with "moin" being the reply.
