goodness=god???

Beitrag von freibeuterin88 »

Hello,
the following question came to my mind about 3 days ago:
Also, manchmal sagt man `oh, my god!` und manchmal sagt man `oh, my goodness!`.
Gibt es da einen Unterschied oder ist es regional bedingt?

Hey,

Goodness: Du meine Güte
Oh my god: Oh Gott

Das ist der Unterschied ist aber nicht regional bestimmt!

Most only use "Oh my God" when they know that the people around them are comfortable with it. It is better to say "Oh my goodness" when you are in a formal setting, or meeting someone new, or you are not sure what they will think.

Sometimes, but not very often, people will be offended if you say "Oh my God", maybe because they are religious or maybe because they have strict manners.
