I definately love cultural lesson like that, some impolite some is okay to ask. Your explaination is crystal clear, don't ask private questions to trangers and to people we aren't close with and don't ask this question too: when are you going to leave from here? To people we don't know well, it's none of our buessness when people will leave from certain houses or places, oh ya my request has been granted yay.😁

Thanks Bob, learned a lot of interesting knowledge. In Asia, especially in East Asia, if you don’t ask someone’s age, you can’t tell whether someone is your elder, which determines whether you should use honorific words for elders. If you don’t use honorific words, it will actually be considered rude . I think this is probably the difference between Eastern and Western cultures.

Asking how much it costs is considered okay just the place where I live. Not all Japan. When I moved here, I used to be shocked that everyone asked " Hey, How much is it?" "Was it expensive?" But they're just showing curiosity and also they're wanting to tell a price when they buy something. They love chatting about the stuff if it's a real bang for our buck. Funny culture, heh ? I got used to it though 🤣 Thanks!!

I think it's a normal question to ask someone "How much did you pay for that?". We can ask that question when we are interested in what someone's bought and we are going to buy something like that. For example: car or mobile phone. I have always had problem with gaining weight so I would be happy to hear "Have you gained some weight?" 😁 My family is never mad at me when I ask some of these questions 🙂 it's better to talk and ask questions than avoid conversation. The more questions we ask the better we know others. We shouldn't just talk to each other only about pleasan things 🙂 Thanks for your lessons so much 😊😊

There is certainly a situational element to most of these. There are even alternate, nicer questions. For instance, I wouldn't ask some how much they paid for something, but I might ask if they bought it on sale or if they got a deal. 😎🌼🐦

What is considered to be impolite or actually even unkind in Georgia 🇬🇪 is leaving somebody on the street without any attention when they fall or trip or are being bullied... (I live in Europe for 20 years and you were supposed not to bother with to the troubles of other people on the streets... which I always found incomprehensible... but every country has its rules and cultural differences !

The question about being pregnant is very true, one day one of my dad's co-workers told my mom how many months pregnant she had been and congratulations. (the bad thing is my mom wasn't pregnant) haha it was an awkward moment

Hi, thanks for such an interesting information! Not far me and my uni group was studied a little about Brirish and American characters. In one of our books was written smth like "It is not polite to ask British "what do you make in a year?", but absolutely normal ask Americanish about income, like your citizens really proud about it and show it off. Now I have an information to discuss with my professor :)

I don't think it's very common to ask directly. We do, however, ask questions like, "Does your job pay well?" or "Do you make more at this job than you did at your last job?" 😎🐝🏀

Hi teacher Bob, could you tell me please if someday a KZbin English Learner- and of course, one old subscribed follower of you or Teacher Brent, the American guy- , just without preventing or asking before-, sended you a Greeting Postcard just to show you their admiration and also to thank you for your online english work? Not an expensive gift, but a humble greeting card from their native town, and from the deep of their feelings?Would it be unpolite ...? Some of us are eager to do that, included me, BTW hahah :) Bye dear Bob, and Happy winter season

In Taiwan, many people(strangers) asked me these type of rude questions. I often feel annoyed. They're not my close friends. Why did they ask me these questions. They didn't consider an invasion of privacy. It' s so weird.

Sometimes it's hard to avoid some of these questions, especially when you are in a conversation flow and then you ask them without thinking over 😅. But yes the most of them are (little) rude and you have to be careful who you ask. Thanks Mr. Bob for the great lesson.

@@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian Yes Mr. Bob I totally agree with you. There are so many factors to consider when asking these questions (who is the person you talk to, what is your relationship to the person, etc.) It's quite tricky. Thanks 🥰.

I've been asked who did I vote for, by some English native speakers who had just got in my cab...I don't know may be this is a different situation... But I guess they shouldn't have posed such a question. Asking all the 7 questions presented in the video, are considered to be inappropriate - and I would say intrusive - in the Italian culture as well!

Apart the last two questions, almost all the questions are considered normal to ask in my country🇪🇷. Your neighbors can ask you if you are "pregnant" or why you are gaining weight (or lossing weight). What a rude!😂

Not really. For instance, I wouldn't ask, "How much did you pay for that?" but I would ask, "Did you get a good deal on that?" I wouldn't ask "How much do you make?" but I might ask, "Does it pay well?" It's all in the subtlety of the questions. I should make another lesson like that! 😎🐝🏀

So everyone, welcome to Brazil! After this lesson you're all ready to come because it works one hundred percent here. Only about politics, although it is inadequate to ask about voting,a lot of people insist in doing so, which caused a lot of division over the last few years.
