Is the greeting “Dav” used very often?

In what kind of context is this an appropriate greeting?

Is it used more commonly in rural areas?

Tak!

    Finally a context for a dad joke, I’ve had laying around! What’s sitting on the bottom of a bucket going “dav dav dav”? A spandauer

    Can’t recall having heard “Dav” used as a greeting for ages. I’m 40+ and been living in Copenhagen most of my life. I’ve heard “Godaw” once in a blue moon, when talking to people from Jutland

      I had a feeling “Dav” might have uncommon or limited usage. What’s amazing is that the language program/book I’m starting (Get Started in Danish) has “Dav” as the second word they teach, with the definition “Hello/Hi” and no other context. 😬

      Tak!

      I live in Aalborg and often start with ‘godaw’ so guess I am a stereotype 😅
