[@gwenculver1040]

Idk the logic behind it but my dad is Chinese and his voice drops when he speaks English too 😂 same with my mom who is Korean. I think English just does that to us lol

[@pretty.odd.]

@@gwenculver1040 Yeah idk what it is. But in learning Korean I speak way higher than I do English. I don't notice until I switch back lol

[@sherwinxxi]

Some languages, like korean and chinese, needs a higher pitch to be able to relay the message properly. Specially when intonation is very important. English can be understood without proper intonation, i think. Hahaha just an observation.

[@allsmiles3666]

That's how it is with a lot of languages. In English you could talk in any way you're comfortable with. In a lot of Asian languages though you talk slightly faster with higher pitch.

I’ve never seen someone raise their hand in a restaurant. Maybe do a little wave towards the waiter, but never a full on hand raise. Usually you just try to make eye contact with the waiter if you need something, or if they’re close enough you can say “excuse me”.

[@raymonds7492]

I may do a lazy hand raise occasionally, with 2 fingers up and my elbow still on the table.

[@kede849]

@@raymonds7492 yeah but that’s closer to the little wave I mentioned then an actual hand raise with your arm all the way up in the air. I don’t know all I picture when someone says hand raise is a little kid yelling “me me me” as they wave their arm in the air so picturing that in a restaurant just seems strange to me.

I think the thing abt “American culture” is that there are so many cultures mixed into it so there are many things we do and many things we don’t. There’s a very small category of things that are like strictly “AMERICANS DO/DONT DO THIS” Thats the beauty of our country 😊 but this video is still very cute!

Most Americans for the most part mind their business and are in their own private space ye know? So thats why staring is so disturbing like "why are you staring at me? Do you have a problem?" Or its just annoying. I can't speak for every American there's many cultures here and different backgrounds but this is just some thing of noticed. Basic manner stuff like waiting in line you ask the person behind you if they were in line first so you don't cut. Sometimes holding doors for others (I do this but not everyone) We exaggerate stuff and express alot Thank you so much! I'm sorry! Omg!!! Thats awesome If your close with friends I sometimes curse to express how excited I am like Damn the fcken awesome! But not with strangers cause I don't know how they'd react.

[@Jekyll08]

Yes! haha. I think what you said about the staring is true, at least for me haha. Anytime someone seems to be staring at me even if I’m pretty sure they’re not I get angry. I have the same thought going through my head; “What the hell are you looking at?”

[@DarkFaeCosplay]

One tip because I did this often as a child and sometimes I still do. If someone stares at you then they daydreaming or just out of it. Just walk away and let them snap out of it themselves. I have adhd and I know others with adhd had this problem with staring out of space or daydreaming and people misunderstood a daydream from staring. I don’t like it when people get uncomfortable when that happens.

[@shaunice-ui4bm]

@@Jekyll08 yea same especially like in public places like school or the mall I just give a look and they’ll stop staring. I find it uncomfortable.

[@JhreamGworl]

It makes me uncomfortable so if someone stares for long periods of time I start getting annoyed because they mist have something they want to say if there still staring

[@oops.its.raquan4599]

Yeah, its generally a threatening sign if people are staring. Like they are trying to intimidate you or think bad of you or are up to something

[@alisonlee1578]

Yes!! I wish they had talked more about asking women their age in the US. That is a seriously impolite thing to do and you WILL get in trouble. Never ask a woman her age in the US! If you’re not sure and they look older, it’s best to say, “Oh, are you 28/29? You look so young!” Even if they look like a old raisin you better be nice 🤣🤣🤣

I live in deep south in America, in Biloxi, MS YOU HAVE TO RECYCLE! They wont pick up our trash if they see trash that needs recycled. Also I was taught to never sit down before an elder at a dinner table and never take a bite or drink until they do. Then again we have an honorific system here also and very much respect our elders. Sir, Ma'am, Miss. Mr. if you want to live here learn to use them properly.

[@MK-hu7zk]

I live in the Seattle area, but like I feel like about the recycling in America it’s unnecessarly hard. Ya know? I mean I’m Indian so there are some other social rules I follow around other Indians who follow those 2 (it gets confusing sometimes switching culture rules lol). Like for gift giving Indian culture u don’t wanna show too much interest and just appreciate the thought, also u want to say stuff like oh wow u got something thanks. But in American culture people open it and get excited about them

if it is good ill happily eat it

Depends on context too. If everyone paid together then the last piece is free game. However, if my friend bought us a pizza and no one else paid then he gets the last slice unless he tells us s he doesn’t want it.

The noises while eating food is something that I will truly never get used to.

(bc it's rude to shout for them, it's like you're "ordering a servant around...")

[@pollyesterpocket]

Yep, that’s so true! There are times it’ll take so long for the waiters to notice you. There are times, though, when you can just TELL that the waiter is being rude and ignoring you on purpose, so you just take a bit off the tip. Even in these cases, you still wouldn’t shout for them hahaha

[@Skater21Loverboyz]

The last slice rule in America depends on who bought it. If it’s split equally payment wise then the last piece is really anyone’s call; however, if someone bought something and shared it, then it’s common courtesy to ask if they want the last piece. It’s not really a hard thing to figure out, and depending on someone’s background they wouldn’t want food to go to waste.

For the "chopsticks stuck in rice" one, it's because when a person dies, you make an offering of rice with the chopstick like that and leave it at the foot of the grave (or you sometimes use burning incense sicks).
