In German you can use “Guten Tag” as greeting when you see meet someone. When writing mail, you can also use it as greeting even if it is not that common, to use “Guten Tag” in written conversations.

BUT: When you use “Guten Tag” at the END it’s like a “Fuck off!” (regardless of written or in verbal communication) without being an insult.
