Contexte culturel
Germans value punctuality; if a train is on time, one might jokingly say 'Das ist unglaublich!' Austrians might use 'Wahnsinn' (madness) more often than 'unglaublich' for the same situations. Swiss German speakers often use 'unglaublich' in formal contexts, but prefer local dialect terms for casual surprise. In the North, people are generally more reserved; 'unglaublich' is used sparingly.
