Guten Rutsch ist more like something you say before new years eve. Literally translated it means "good slide" , something you say to wish someone a good transition from the old into the new year. https://expatsincebirth.com/2013/12/31/guten-rutsch-what-does-this-german-wish-really-mean/ Happy new Year is Frohes neues Jahr.

SchalkeUK 402 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I have watched this with mixed interest. The phrase was always something the young guys used to say to me - like the Asian boys in school calling me 'mate' rather than Sir. I was told that they only used that to their friends they could trust so, despite the frowns from colleagues, I let them use it and was happy with it. The German phrase seems to me to be a similar one - Happy New Year is politically correct and nice from younger ones to their seniors like the capital S in Sie rather than sie. If you get Rutsch it may not be a term of endearment, but it means a little more than just the usual wish! Sorry this might appear to be a mini lecture, but the camerderie on here sometimes leaves facecrap and twatter way, way behind. Sei nett! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
