Sehr gut!

Very good!

An exclamation of strong approval or excellence.

🌍

문화적 배경

In German schools, 'Sehr gut' is the highest grade (1). It is a mark of pride and often rewarded by parents with money or gifts. While Germans use 1 as the best grade, the Swiss grading system is reversed: 6 is 'Sehr gut' and 1 is the worst. Be careful when comparing report cards! Germans value efficiency and directness. A 'Sehr gut' from a boss is a high compliment, as they don't usually give praise unless it is truly earned. When invited to dinner, saying 'Das Essen ist sehr gut' is mandatory to show respect to the host.

💡

The 'Eins' Connection

Remember that 'Sehr gut' is the number 1 grade. If you see a '1' on a German paper, think 'Sehr gut!'

⚠️

Avoid 'Viel'

Never say 'Viel gut'. It is the most common beginner mistake. Stick to 'Sehr'.
