Germans often keep it brief but friendly. Use Sie until you're offered du. Quiet hours (Ruhezeiten) matter.
Neighbour
Guten Tag! Sind Sie neu hier im Haus?
Listen first — Slow if you need it — answer the question, then check the text and the answer.
1. From what time is quiet time?
2. What did the neighbour do?
A neighbour took in a parcel for you. Ring their bell, thank them, introduce yourself and ask how deliveries usually work in the building. Try starting with: “Good evening, you took in a parcel for me, didn't you?”
Guten Abend, Sie haben ein Paket für mich angenommen, oder?
Taking in neighbours' parcels is very common in Germany.
