Contexto cultural

Germans value directness, but in service, they use polite formulas to maintain professional distance. Austrians often use even more flowery language; you might hear 'Sehr gerne' or 'Mit Freude' as well. Swiss German speakers often prefer 'Gerne' or 'Sehr gerne' in professional settings, as 'mit Vergnügen' can sound slightly 'German-German' or formal.
