As a French it’s the same here about the hug, it’s considered too invasive and weird. I was really surprised that nordics hug so much because usually we think of them as more « introverts » than southerners.

[@alfrredd]

It sounds crazy to me that a cheek to cheek touch is more of an invasion of personal space than a hug, when you are literally just as close to the other person, it makes no sense.

[@lissandrafreljord7913]

I noticed there is a divide between Latin and Germanic cultures when it comes to greeting. Latins tend to kiss on the cheeks, and Germanics tend to hug or shake hands. Same thing happens in Latin America vs Anglo America. In Argentina, where I was born, you kiss anyone (your teacher, your pastor, your grandma, your aunt, your cousin, etc.), including strangers when you first meet them. Even guy to guy is common to kiss on the cheek. We kiss on one side, though, not two, unlike Europe. In the US, where I now live, kissing does exist, but more among elderly and middle aged white women, or unless you come from a Latino household. But its not common, as it is reserved more within family and friends, and rarely strangers (unless that were the mom of your friend, etc). Normally people here meet by hugging or doing a handshake or fist bump (the latter more common between guys). Hugging is common even when meeting new people, such as your friend's friend or family. You can just hug them. It's funny how each culture has a different take on what is considered too intimate. I remember when my cousin from Argentina came to visit me in the US after 16 years of not seeing each other. He reached out for a kiss on the cheek, and I felt so awkward and strange. It's almost as if I was scared to be tickled by his kiss and his face was physically too close to my face.

[@boboboy8189]

In Arab world, cheek to cheek and hug is Arab cultures. Woman Will do cheek to cheek to other woman and Men Will hug other Men. Men can't touch woman and vice versa. I think this spread to europe at the time of al andalus and ottoman era. The only Arab group that do shake hand is yemen. Many West people didn't know about Muslim at that time period, that Part of history were deleted intentionally because crusaders hates islam so much

[@hmvollbanane1259]

Same here in reverse, we always think of Romanic people as being touchy so it's quite weird to me that hugging isn't a thing in southern Europe and France

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

German here and I'd like to strongly object to what the german lady said about hugging as a first time greeting. That's something women of her generation are now starting to do, but the majority in Germany certainly does not hug at first meeting. The first hug is reserved for the goodbye when that first meeting is over. And guys don't hug unless they are brothers or really close friends. And may I add that your censoring is ridiculous. First you blurt out what they actually said and then you change the subtitles. They did not say "7 years of bad things" or "7 years of bad luck" it's "7 years of bad Sex" and that is what they said. Stop censoring yourself.

[@lollylula6399]

I'm half English half Polish, born and always lived in the UK. I can't stand the passive English communication style, it makes no sense to me. I don't understand how if you like or don't like something it's rude to say so. For example, I've heard countless times people complain about not liking food or drink they were given at someone's house but had it anyway. Even people with intolerances making themselves unwell in order to not be impolite. How is faking or lying about liking something/not minding something polite? I find people lying & faking offensive. Maybe being around my Polish grandparents as a child had a bigger effect on me than I realised, or maybe my Polish genes coming through strong.

[@miriamscheuch7356]

About the hug thing , as a German, you would just hug if the people are close. If it is friends from friends i only would hug if I recognize it is okay if not it is rude

[@AngeloAitoro]

As an Italian, I do not kiss or hug in general (unless they are close friends) but i think it depends on the people. The further south you go, the more people kiss when they meet.

[@stefaniac2095]

Italian here living in America: in Italy it’s rude to ask people how much money they make or how much they pay for things, while in the USA it’s a bonding practice to brag how little you paid for something of value.

Middle aged north american man here. This is really fascinating... I love learning about these cultural differences. I grew up learning a lot about my European roots... both of my parents, though born in the US are very proud of their European heritage and instilled that in me. I can't wait to visit many of these countries and I appreciate learning these cultural norms from these videos. I want to be a good guest so these discussions help out greatly!

[@HenryLoenwind]

Swedes being non-confrontational is so true. We once had a project for a Swedish customer, and it was so annoying. We would have big meetings to decide things, and the only outcome was that everyone was in a good mood, but nothing got decided because everyone would just agree with everything that was said. Even the British are better---they won't tell you they want something else directly either, but they will at least hint at it in a way you can learn to read.

[@aliceg6745]

The lady from France is TOTALLY wrong about the confrontation part. The french, on the contrary, are very confrontational and everywhere in France, not just in Paris. We tend to be quite direct and frank. And quite frankly in the confrontation. Not only in words unfortunately especially for men.... Which can be perceived as "rude". The french are famous for that. 😂 So I don't understand his reasoning. Talking behind people's backs is more common among french women maybe . But not at all for men (I'm a woman). The french men are very clearly in the confrontation. Sorry....

[@audebattistolo1805]

I will ad that I've heard from an american woman that we are "brutally" frank. And I agree with you, that's partly reason why we have a "rude" reputation (not only obviously). Perhaps is she surrounding by hypocrites in France, generally they like to hang out in band to diss. If she had grown up in a such environnement that would explained that odd comment.

[@N0Time]

Wouldn't it be a pleonasm to say that the French are frank?

[@lissandrafreljord7913]

French are famous for complaining a lot, always being so cynical and pessimistic (talking about the negatives more than the positives, and never easily giving free compliments, much like the Germans), and are super sarcastic with their double entendre (ironic how the French are named after the Franks, when they are anything but frank, a lot of times). They are certainly more direct than polite cultures like Britain and Japan, but definitely not as direct as the Dutch and Germans, who have a zero tolerance attitude for nonesense. The French are also more impatient than Germans, and less politically correct.

16:15 I kiss my siblings, parents, grandparents and some of the other closer relatives on the cheek, but I think for the most German families it's unusual... I have seen some friends doing that to... When I'm greeting someone unknown I usually shake their hands or wave 👋. When it's a female friend of a friend I guess hugging is more common (as a women myself), when it is a male friend of a friend I usually shake their hands for hallo and huge them (if we understand each other well) for goodbye. I might be different on a blind date...

Waaa my friend Julia! keep shining snuppa 💜

[@Onnarashi]

We have the same thing called Janteloven (Jante's Law) in Norway too (and in Denmark). It's not an actual law, just a social practice. It's about being humble and not thinking you are better than everyone else. Some people argue this idea is too strict and keeps us (Nordic people) from being more proud of our accomplishments and realising our dreams, and others say it's a good thing to be humble and recognise that everyone has flaws and we're not perfect. I would say I can see both sides but I think that in this age of narcissism on social media we can all use a healthy dose of humility.

[@supremegamer4717]

That and Janteloven creates funny jokes as well. Like do you remember the whole "we can buy sweeden if we want" song and a whole bunch of other songs that just boast about how great we are. Like its comedy, but without Janteloven it would not be.

[@MrGunnar69]

For me, the jante law is just about being humble. It's pretty obvious that some people are very good at things and pretending that everyone is as good as the successful person is just idiotic. You don't tell what you are good at, you instead show that you are good at it.

[@oestergaard141]

Well, originally its from Denmark, and also not a social practice, it was written as comedy as a criticism of society, to mock the way people tend to actually behave. It is not written as a guideline of how to behave... almost the opposite.

[@BobWitlox]

We don't have Jante law in the Netherlands, but a similar norm. We don't like it when people try to stand out and be special. You should be as everyone else. Bragging or showing off is frowned upon.

[@Onnarashi]

@@oestergaard141 The author of Janteloven, Aksel Sandemose, had a Norwegian mother and lived much of his life in Norway so it's more accurate to say Janteloven, like its auther, is originally both Danish and Norwegian. Despite its original intent, Janteloven describes a Nordic phenomenon even in our current times, where people strive to not brag or seem too egotistical or loud.

[@Kiracuts]

[@Tenseiken_]

It was always very fascinating to me that we in europe have like very minor things that are INCREDBLY common throughout the majority of europe like the toasting thing and 7 years of bad sex, like that's crazily specific right? But then you have all these neighbouring countries and every single one has very own specific norms when it comes to greeting and what's considered personal space and whatnot. I have had some spanish friends and they insisted on the whole kissing thing when we first met and even after (while IN germany) and it was insanely weird to me. Still is, to this day. Kissing or even the motion of kissing to me is something intimate that should only be shared with a significant other or smooching your kids or parents/grandparents. For me, wether you hug or shake someones hand when you meet them for the first time always changes depending on the people and it can get quite awkward. Like even if your best friend or whatever presents their new partner to you or a friend of him, it's ALWAYS different from person to person, because some people wanna feel out the other ones first before hugging them. I personally would always go for a hug in the mentioned scenarios, because there's like a feeling of proxy-trust that I get from my friend that I want to put forward to their friend/partner in that situation, even if it turns out that person turns out to be bad. It's also a sign of welcoming the person in a more friendly way if it's a hug instead of a handshake. Like you're actually welcoming them on an emotional level into the circle if that makes sense. But yeah this thing is VERY different for each individual even within the country which is why greeting people in these specific situations can be very awkward.

When they were talking about looking at people's eyes when talking to them the look on her face was quite funny, since I think I've seen her quite a lot not looking to much into people's eyes hehe Quite uncommon here in Spain. She totally reminds me of a friend from Málaga, not only in her behaviour (although the one in the video is more shy), but her accent and voice are exactly the same.

[@isaiahrawlison7211]

Nobody’s going to address the fact that the US is a country of immigrants. Lots of Italians in the Northeast, Germans in the Midwest, Hispanics in the Southwest and Florida, French in the Delta region, NY founded by the Dutch. Where you might shake someone’s hand in the Deep South, a kiss on the cheek is customary in South Florida, New Yorkers are super direct, and people on the west coast can seem super nice. Interesting still, but essentially the US has commonalities with Europe as a whole rather than specific countries.

[@J0HN_D03]

Of course, I will not say that maybe to someone I do not know at all, and it does not matter that much to me. It can depends on the situation I guess.

[@hereter3546]

I'm from Spain, I've lived in Germany for a long time and I speak the language well, but some things still seem a bit strange to me. At a meeting with work colleagues (after work), a female colleague I was meeting for the first time (I'm a man) wanted to hug me to say goodbye and I instinctively refused (I hug her but it was obvious I didn´t want to), and I could see my colleague's expression of aggravation on her face. I found this very strange, because in Spain such a hug is very intimate and is only done in a romantic context. But as I hardly knew the woman, it felt uncomfortable for me to hug her. Afterwards I felt bad and I thought I was rude to her because I didn´t hug her like she was expecting, but watching this video now I understand more.

[@Tschitsu]

I think I understand you more than your German colleagues. As a German myself, I don't hug people that I just met. Never. It feels just weird to me. I know somebody that I have never hugged even though I know her for some years already. But we're both fine with it. I think I can hug somebody goodbye after a first meeting if a friend introduced me to them and we got along quite well. But it also happened that they tried to initiate a goodbye hug and I was more like "do I need to?". So I don't think that you should have felt bad about it and I also don't think that you were rude. In certain social circles it's just normal to give a hug so they might have been slightly confused. And especially if they were colleagues and not really friends (yet) I'd feel weird to give them a hug. Even though I got along quite well with my colleagues before I entered uni, I never hugged them. We had fun, had lunch together, had some parties together but I never hugged them and everyone was fine with it. So I guess it really depends. Most of the time I'm like "don't invade my personal space" 😅

[@Onnarashi]

I can understand you, not only as a man but as a Nordic person (Norwegian). I would personally be careful about hugging or touching (aside from a handshake) a woman I didn't know well, partly for my own sake but also partly for her sake. You never know what kind of accusations can happen. I find it a bit ironic, by the way, that as a Spaniard you mentioned hugging, because don't Spanish people kiss each other on the cheek as a greeting? Maybe it's only between two women or two men, but not between men and women? We don't typically kiss as a greeting in Norway (or Nordic countries in general), but some female friends will do the "fake kiss" greeting (make a kissing noise and lightly touch the cheek).

[@alfrredd]

​@@OnnarashiI'm from Spain as well and yeah men usually give 2 kisses (cheek to cheek, no lip) to women but in a formal context (like at work) there are more chances of a handshake happening than a hug between men and women. A hug is seen as much more intimate than a kiss greeting. I guess it's just a cultural thing 😅.

[@thespankmyfrank]

I get that you found that weird. Personally, I always feel strange when Italian or Spanish people kiss on the cheek, like, I always get so flustered and don't know what to do 😅 the first time it happened it was an Italian guy and I'm a Swedish woman, and it was so awkward to me. I'd rather do a handshake, tbh. And I'd leave hugs for when you know the person more.

[@georgezee5173]

@@Onnarashi Hi! Spaniard here. The thing about the Sanish two-kisses greeting is that, firstly, it's not even an actual kiss at the end of the day (just both persons' cheeks slightly touching), and, secondly, If you think of it, you only approach your heads during that action, whereas when you hug someone both your bodies are fully touching, so it is quite more invasive than the "kiss".

[@notyourdaddy2148]

[@SIG442]

Greeting in the Netherlands you have several variants. 1. Handshake - More formal, this is for the work environment and school mostly. However if you meet someone for the first time this can count as well. 2. Hug - Often between friends 3. 3 Kisses - Very close friends (often no further then aunt/uncle level and it's usually the ladies that do it) 4. Hug + 3 kisses - Family and your lover usually, although the lover part is recently changed a lot from what I can tell. * It really also depends on the family and how individual people think about things. Specially the younger generations seem to be going off the beaten path thanks to social media. And not in a good way. For the Netherlands, you don't eat everything except bread with fork and knife. We got plenty of food that you eat with your hands actually, go to the famous Dutch snackbar for example and you only get finger food. Pizza you might need to cut, but aside from that use your hands. Fish from the market you can either eat with your hands or use a fork (often wood or plastic) So it really is depending on what type of food it is. Posh people might overly use fork and knife to the level of insanity. The Dutch girl in this video gives those vibes that she indeed is a bit too posh to really understand what normal people do (or she's covering herself) Dutch people are very direct to the level that others may perceive it as being rude. We just like to get to the point and don't beat around the bush. Tell it as it is. To the Dutch, if you are not honest and direct it's often perceived as being rude and dishonest instead. You will end up with that Dutch person trusting you less because of it. Netherlands and rules are pretty much follow the rules, although not as strict as Germany for example. Just make sure you don't walk too long in the cycle lanes where it's too busy, you likely get run over and shouted at. Specially in big cities like Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Den Haag. While in Friesland for example you need to be very aware of having less cycle infrastructure so you end up often sharing the road with other traffic. Where it's all too common to see people racing on the narrow roads, specially if their parents are farmers, they tend to ignore set rules. This doesn't limit to cars and mopeds/scooters only, but also tractors. So be very aware and to be safe regarding tractors, get in the grass and wait for them to pass. Littering in smaller towns in Friesland is a 100% no-no. You will get called out and in some cases they might even get physical to force you to pick your junk up. Do it on the land of a farmer and the farmer might decide to destroy your car, trust me I seen it several times. And yes Germans, in all cases it were German tourists that got their karma points exchanged. The younger generations often tend to ignore rules a lot more, which shows a degradation in morals and common sense. Ordering in the Netherlands, yeah you just wait until the waiter comes to your table. If you think you can call them, specially if it's too often, you might end up getting words directed at you if not thrown out. It's very rude to the staff who are working as hard as they can as it is, they will come to you asap. Chill, take it easy. If you wanted food fast, go find a snackbar or a typical American franchise instead. Bragging about money in the Netherlands is not done, you do NOT EVER ask someone about that. Even talking about your own income is frowned upon. It gets people annoyed easily. And yes, after social media came in people started to brag about things, both in "look at me being this good/rich" and the other way around. I seen the rise of social media and I honestly fear for the future, specially with so many airheaded people that have no clue at all how to actually have a decent life on their own. The near future will become a mess with that generation, things only just started to escalate. As soon as my generation is too old to work, which is in about 25-30 years from now, you will see a huge problem as none of these social media garden tools will be able to fill any of the gaps needed. Not a single one has the know-how or drive to do anything. A toast in the Netherlands you must look others in the eyes, I however never heard anyone speak about 7 years of bad luck. Perhaps this is something more local (or as the Dutch girl mentioned, more about young people), i don't know. However regardless, you must look the ones you toast with in the eyes, and indeed look around to everyone there before starting to drink. You don't want to exclude anyone as this is very rude and condescending. A toast is considered a matter of honor.

[@prettyace99]

in het algemeen heb je wel gelijk in je hele comment, maar waarom ben je zo negatief over de jongere generatie?

[@DanAndHoe]

You're very negative about how the younger generation is influenced by social media. Growing up I never liked the three kisses. It's something I've only ever done with aunts and other older female family members. I've heard older generations complain about the mandatory three kisses too, and also don't really see older generations do it anymore, except maybe 70+. Social distancing during covid was the final nail in the coffin, and I have not heard a single person complain about it. I don't see how socal media played a role. It's becoming more common to talk about money. It's not about bragging, rather just talk about prices and things like that. It's becoming more and more acceptable to ask people about things like their budget, their income, their rent etc. "What are you making per month that you can afford to buy a house?" That's at least my experience with people in the age range 18 to early 40s. And what's the rant about young people not being able to do anything? You're just regurgitating the same centuries old complaints about younger people. There's tons of examples in every generation. There were even similar complaints about the young folks who would eventually go on and fight in WWII. The lads who stormed the beaches of Normandy were called lazy and good for nothing a few years earlier.

Another german perspective on hugs, i would not hug friends of a friend when i first say hello. I dont really like it and i know a lot of people who dont like it as well here. I dont wanna invade a personal space that much before checking how comfortable the person seems with touchiness. Sometimes people do that tho, so if you are uncomfortable, you should reach out your hand first quickly haha But yeah its definitely suuper common to hug them goodbye after meeting them for the first time :)

[@brudergustavo7845]

I think its also a Gender thing. Girls in germany tend to be huggers, but the boys? They either just go along when someone hugs them or they just never do that. I think I have hugged more girls back in a greeting than I have most of my male friends. And if its your friend you hug as a guy its often more in a comedic way, like trying to crush your friend in a hug competition etc. And thlate ris mor eof a yputh thing...

[@lissandrafreljord7913]

​​@@Augurium_DavidAt least she is not a stereotype. She may look like the stereotypical Spanish girl with her Mediterranean features, but she is shy, introverted, and quiet, and there's nothing wrong with that. Also, I wouldn't call her cold. Most shy people get mistaken for being cold and distant, when reality is they are just cautious and fragile, that's why they are more careful about being superficially friendly, bubbly, and cheerful. They value more quality relationships than quantity relationships.

Story: I am German , as you might or not know we use the right side to “drive”, once I was abt 8 years old I was still eligible to drive with my bike on the side walk and I did that on the right side of the side walk but a old man drove by with his bike and harshly screamed at me “YOU NEED TO DRIVE ON THE OTHER SIDE WALK,NOTE THAT! 😡”, he drove on the bicycle way on the street so not on the side walk but yeah ever since then I had a fear of driving on the opposite side walk, it’s not illegal but I guess I was wrong? over the years I developed a phobia of bicycles anyway like not screaming at the sight of seeing one, riding one in the sense. Children in Germany get teached to ride a bicycle the correct way ON THE STREET in elementary school which is sorta an exam but the side walk “rule” was never mentioned to me in any sort of way just “drive on the side walk to be alright “ - my parents.

The most stereotypical sentence associated with Muslim immigrants in Germany is a very aggressive out of the blue "Was guckst du?!"

[@hmvollbanane1259]

@@TimeToSingChannel we look everyone in the eyes when talking, or greeting while crossing paths with strangers, when there is no interaction we might still just look at them (hard to describe, we are not truly looking at them specifically with any intention from our perspective but just looking, which is normal and not provocative in our culture). To give you some examples of how engrained it is: "To risk your face" is if you do something risky/ controversial that might result in people averting their eyes from your face as if something was wrong with it. "Der/die kann mir nicht mal direkt in die Augen gucken" - s/he can't even look me straight in the eyes. An explanation given on why you refuse to interact with someone unpleasant/ untrustworthy/ arrogant or with a very guilty conscience. "Schau mir in die Augen" - Look into my eyes. - tell the truth and nothing but the truth. "Den Blick von jemandem abwenden" - to divert ones gaze from someone. To turn your back on someone for doing something you strongly disagree with breaking off contact. "Sich aus den Augen verlieren" - to lose eachother out of the eyes. A contact/ friendship that has gone away without an active decision due to lifepaths diverting ways. (And the opposite, nicht aus den Augen verlieren, as a promise to keep in touch) "Nicht dem Blick standhalten können" - incapable of withstanding the look - to have a very guilty conscience "Auf jemanden/ etwas ein Auge werfen" - to throw an eye on someone/thing. To fancy someone/thing "Keines Blickes würdigen" - not valuing with gaze - to treat someone as if they were air, either because you've decided to shun them (the highest form of showing someone that you truly despise them in Germanic cultures, you are acting as if they were dead and refuse to acknowledge their presence) or as a complaint about an arrogant person that didn't even acknowledge your presence (e.g. someone at work who only smears honey around the mouths of higher ups) And so on and so on

[@Vincrand]

For everyone's information... if you walk on the bikelane in the Netherlands, you get óne bell-ring as a warning. That is the final warning and they will not pump the brakes.

And we don’t ride into the pedestrians just because we want to, but because we are going faster than they expect (so we can’t brake that fast) and they are in our way. In NL we learn from a young age to consider the bike lane. In other countries bike lanes are not that common, so the attention to it is less.

In my country (Spain) even cyclists have to allow pedestrians use the zebra crossing, since they've got the priority if they're already waiting.

I am Czech and it's really annoying how half of people call my country "Czech" which is adjective or name of language or a person.

And in the same sense it's Czechia, not Czech. How native speakers don't realize that it's an adjective is completely beyond me :D As for Slovak (from Slovakia), I can understand why people say "Slovakian". Some demonyms are irregular and unpredictable, e.g. for Slovenia it's Slovene, for Montenegro it's Montenegrin. Lots of people say "Slovenian" and "Montenegrian" because that would be the logical regular prediction. There's no way to know it unless you heard it before.

In Czech Republic, you have to always wait until waiter returns to you, if you don't wait and start calling him or something, it will be really bad for you. But when I was in Croatia for vacation, I noticed that it's completely different there, you sit there and nobody cares, you have to call a waiter or you will be sitting there another 2 days and nobody asks if you need something, which is kind of unnatural for us because we are really afraid to talk to waiter before he asks first what we need. I visited Portugal in 2019, but I don't remember how it was there, only thing I remember and it was weird for us was when I was paying, waiter just walked of with my money and I didn't know what it means, so we were still siting there and it took him few minutes before he returned with change back, that would never happened here, ofcourse you give some tip, but they always return your change immediately in front of you and after they find coins back, then they hide your bigger bill, so you still see that while their are looking for change, I think there are even some laws about that. In other countries it mostly work like that you put money into some book and let it on the table and waiter takes it, I still don't understand how it works, but it was like that even in Poland and Latvia which surprised me, I expected they will be more similar to us, but it's totaly different.
