3 . Strangest ways to be polite in Japan
What may be considered polite in one country could be rude in another, or the other way around.
While in Japan, make no sounds on some occasions, particularly when it comes to public transportation. Anyone who has been to Japan before has experienced the near-silent trains, sometimes filled with hundreds of people not making a sound.
Meanwhile, be careful not to pour your own drinks when you’re out eating with friends, or you might be thought to be selfish.“But wait,” you might say, “ what do I do if my glass is empty and I want a drink ?
No need to worry, friend! Just fill up some other people’s glasses that are getting a little low.
Another Japanese strange way to be polite is when you want to express gratitude, you don’ t use the word for “ thank you ”, but instead you use the word for “sorry ”. In situations like when someone does you a favor, or even often when they give you a gift, saying “sorry” in English would just seem awkward.
A.Just die of thirst? |
B.Japan is no exception. |
C.In Japanese it’s perfectly natural, though. |
D.Maybe this one isn’t so strange to some people. |
E.Chances are that they’ll fill yours up right away. |
F.When you go to a restaurant in Japan, what sound fills the air? |
