I'll never forget when visiting a friend in Germany for the first time: He was with another friend and they saw a mutual acquaintance at a cafe. "We know that man, we went to school together." "Want to go over and say hello?" "No. Later he became stupid, so we don't talk to him anymore." I loved the blunt honesty.

In uni, I met a couple of guys from Germany, I thought we became friends in an hour. I said let’s go eat some food in the cafeteria of the uni. Then when we went there, they left me alone and sit with their own friends without saying anything to me lol. I got sad at the beginning but then realized that it takes time being friends with them.

That was actually rude, but your point still brilliantly points out this very german habit, I always try to emphasize: While engaging in short term interactions, like having a nice chat in a bar or anywhere in public, is actually easy( possibly due to the germans directness), building deeper connections and actual friendships with germans or getting invited to their "inner circles" will usually take time!

When I came to live here in Germany I noticed that. So, "reprogrammed" myself to not be to close to people. Then, one day a girl I started worked with from my country living also here, thought we will go to the train station together after work. I didn't offer because I didn't know if she wants (unconsciously). She felt bad. Then I realized with time I have learned here in Germany to not be to close so I apply this with everyone, but normally I am/was not like this.

It’s such a big topic that isn’t defined very well and just becomes a general thing about complaining. What does directness mean? From what I gather there seems to be an implication that directness = rudeness = good? This should have been defined a bit better because why would that be a good thing? I think Germans could be much more direct about compliments, positive feelings, general feelings of vulnerability - not just things they’re unhappy about. They could also be more direct about human relationships, cravings, loneliness, sadness - not just nasty day to day interactions. Would be good to redefine directness as a positive and constructive thing.

Mir gefällt der Engländer am besten. Er reflektiert seine Art und die der anderen. Und die Höflichkeit der Engländer habe ich im Urlaub sehr geschätzt, sehr genossen. Wobei wenn man etwas zu sehr verklausuliert, entstehen oft auch Missverständnisse. Aber wenn ich ehrlich bin, ist mir das Ungehobelte und Gedankenlose mancher Mitbürger deutlich unangenehmer. Ich meine damit einen Mangel an Empathie, wie sich der andere vielleicht fühlt mit direkten Äußerungen. Ehrlichkeit ist gut, doch sie sollte nicht in unfreundlichem Verhalten enden.

Hallo Easy German Team 😊 was für ein tolles Video. Ihr helft mir immer mit diesen Videos. Als ich angefangen habe Deutsch zu lernen, haben ihre Videos mir viele verschiedene Wörter gezeigt, und jetzt ist fast ein Jahr schon verbracht 😱😱 Ich danke ihnen für alles ❤ PD: the other day I was talking with a friend about how great your videos were and he said he also likes them a lot (of course) but he also said he couldnt help himself but to see the subtitles every time 😂 even against his own will. So I was thinking that maybe you guys would like to start a series of videos ohne Untertiteln? That could be a great idea, keeping the same great content but with that twist, just like my friend im guessing there are more people who would like a video without subtitles 😮, thanks once more easy german you guys are the best ❤

Note when he says this 14:01, he coulda just said I want ppl to be more gentle, but still be direct and clear. That's at least what germans woulda said

als Wiener (aber auch deutscher Staatsbürger, der ein paar Jahre in Berlin gelebt hat!) muss ich dem Mann, der in Österreich lebt, zustimmen -- Norddeutsche, vor allem in und rund um Berlin, sind sehr direkt und zwar deutlich direkter als Franken, Bayer, Österreicher und, zum Teil, Wiener, aber die Meinung, dass die Deutschen harmoniebedürftig ihre Meinungen vertreten, stimmt teilweise auch. Wiener sind für unseren Grant und heißes Blut bekannt und hier hängt man manchmal nur zu gerne 'an Goschen' an, wenn man genervt ist, aber das tut man hier mit dem berühmten Schmäh (der Akzent hilft dabei; das Schmäh in Wien eckt nicht so stark wie die Berliner Schnauze an). Meiner Erfahrung nach sind die Berliner weitaus direkter als die Wiener mit ihren Unzufriedenheiten, aber Menschen aus NRW, Hamburg, Leipzig/Halle oder, tja, das Paradebeispiel für Freundlichkeit im Norden: Köln -- sie sind sehr ruhig, wie auch die Verwandten, die ich in den Münchener Vororten oder Oberösterreich habe. Vielleicht liegt das Ganze an den Großstädten. Deutsche sind ehrlicher als Amerikaner, Kanadier, Britten. Das wird in diesen Ländern als unhöflich oder zu direkt wahrgenommen. Als in Kanada war, habe ich einen Kaffee bestellt und der Kaffee war -- sagen wir halt -- deutlich unter der Qualitätsgrenze, an der ich als Wiener gewöhnt bin. Die Kellnerin ist eventuell auf mich zugekommen und dann so die typisch nordamerikanische Frage "Und, schmeckt's?" und ich so "nee, überhaupt nicht" und meine kanadischen Gefährten waren aufs Äußerste schockiert, dass ich ihr gegenüber so gemein sein konnte. Ich dachte mir, "na ja ich hätte ihr sagen können, dass der Kaffee geschissen war, aber da habe ein Blatt vor den Mund genommen" aber angeblich hätte sowas wie "ist okay, ich hab keinen Durst" oder einfach "ja alles gut" sagen sollen. Im Vergleich aber zu Menschen aus Osteuropa (Ungarn, Russen, Serben, Polen) oder Israelis (sie sind extrem direkt) finde ich die Deutschen, sogar die Norddeutschen, überhaupt nicht direkt. Dort wird alles extrem direkt angesprochen.

Honestly, the directness in Germany as a precise way to tell things that need to be fastly adressed, instead of running in circles (or plainly just not speaking) to avoid offending someone like we in other coubtries do, makes my life easier as in my hometown in Latin America, in that way I find social rules way simplier, gets problems solved faster. On the other side, sometimes people (the least of them) confuse directness with plain aggression, there are things that simply are not needed to be told.

It has nothing to do with German directness - this could be your interpretation (which is a little bit broken due to the depression). Im also foreigner living 18 years now in north Germany. I dont have a problem with German directness. Yes of course some people are rude and jerks but in every country you will find a rude person or jerk.

I am really sorry if you have to stay there among so many inhumane people. I am a Kiwi, and here in New Zealand, people are really laidback and friendly. I think that we are so friendly here, that it is part of the reason why it is so shocking even hearing the very, very many stories I have heard. Some stories are very distressing just THINKING about them. We would be described by Germans as too weak or soft. We are NOT weak people. To the contrary, we would step in tohelp strangers more. It is just that we want to be polite kind welcoming, accepting and laidback. We like people to feel comfortable and welcome. My daughter was yelled at by a German here in my city. According to him she was riding on the wrong side of the track. There is no such thing in our country of space and freedom. We are very considerate and probably wouldn't ride like a maniac around corners. People probably enjoy nature not be impatient. The big thing for us is how someone can be treated well when they come here but start dictating rules here. When I was younger, also in this city, 2 elderly German women jellied at a man in a family restaurant "You dirty Jew!!". These are just 2 of the incidents here in NZ that are shocking. Another thing that has made the news headlines is 1 or 2 Germans (also French) shitting in urban streets. They are photographed, in thd news, tracked down and fined. I have heard about inhumane treatment...including interrogating, yelling on the street, spying, informants, staring and never including newcomers in anything. Thag us deliberate exclusion-- very in humane. In fact, we consider all those behaviour very very rude. I myself would never go to Germany. There are plenty of places where the people are really kind. No one has been horrible to me in my life time in NZ.

This is a great topic. In the US there are huge differences in directness. Being both Jewish and from a fairly working class New England family, being direct was just par for the course (if anything, my family is too direct). But coming to the deep south or engaging with southerners, as well as more Protestant Christians and Anglo-Americans from suburbia/in general, I find that directness will get you into a Lot of trouble, especially if you are seen in any was as socially lower on the ladder. If someone higher above you says "would you like to do X?" saying "no thanks, I'm planning to do Y today" is actually seen as quite rude because apparently "would you like to" means "you better do this or else" and they will in a roundabout way (or not) then make that known. Me, I find that to be more rude, to imply you are giving someone a choice when really you are not, but supposedly, that is considered "more polite" in some parts of the country. So I've also learned to be careful when I ask folks, "would you like to go to this restaurant?" because they will think I am demanding that we go instead of genuinely gauging interest...

"Zu direkt heißt, zu wenig Worte. " "Zu direkt zu sein würde heißen, man hat eventuell zu wenig Worte genutzt, damit der andere es wirklich versteht." Was davon ist direkt? Oder ist es direkt, wenn man die Worte ohne zu grübeln ausspricht? "Sei doch mal direkt! Du brauchst 100 Worte und davon haben 80 die gleiche Bedeutung." War es frech? Ja vielleicht, aber es ist ehrlich und direkt. "Würdest Du bitte etwas direkter sein? Mein Ohr wird müde." Etwas freudlicher, genauso direkt. Mein Favorit: Ein Wort oder so wenig wie möglich zu nutzen. "Präzision!" oder "Sei bitte direkter!" Wenn man es nicht auf den Punkt bringt, ist es nicht direkt. Wenn ein Wort etwas umschreibt, ist es nicht direkt. Sprache ohne Verniedlichung, ohne Metaphorik und dergleichen ist direkt.

Anyone who doubts German directness in this video has NOT experienced Japanese indirectness. I just came back from Japan, and the amount of stuff they say to get somewhere is astoundingly fruitless. I'm not a Japanese speaker, but I know Japanese, so they get flustered or embarrassed when I told them something so direct like "my mom doesn't want this" (haha wa kore ga hoshikunai desu) or "we don't need a receipt" (seikyuushou ga irimasen) as opposed to something like "no, it's fine" (daijoubu desu) to vaguely suggest. Same thing with some staff who speak English at our hotel.

Als Süddeutscher bin ich immer wieder erstaunt und manchmal auch schockiert, wie direkt Norddeutsche und insbesondere Berliner sind. Die direkte Antwort, die der Herr bei 4:58 gibt („Ich aber nicht auf dich“) würde ich als Süddeutscher niemals über die Lippen bringen. Es geht einfach nicht. Und wenn mir diese Situation mit der Bürotür bei 7:01 passiert wäre, hätte mich das auch extrem irritiert. Mir wär da ebenfalls keine schlagfertige Antwort eingefallen, weil wir in Süddeutschland auf solche Situationen nicht trainiert sind. Verglichen mit Engländern oder Amerikanern sind wir Süddeutschen ja auch schon direkt. Aber gerade Berlin ist da nochmal ein ganz anderes Level an Direktheit.

Ich bin der Meinung, dass die meisten Deutschen direkt sind, ich habe zumindest solche Erfahrungen gemacht. Wenn man aus dem Ausland nach Deutschland kommt, dann muss man sich zuerst daran gewöhnen, eine direkte Antwort zu bekommen, weil das in vielen anderen Ländern unüblich ist, aber mit der Zeit finde ich persönlich das ganz okay. Manchmal kann das sogar hilfreich sein, um besser und genauer zu verstehen, was man meint und was man damit ausdrücken möchte

With directness there's often the implication that it's impolite, but I think german directness refers to the amount of words we need to get a point across, rather than speaking our mind openly without considering other people's feelings. Instead of beating around the bush when being invited to something for example, we just say yes or no. We don't bother ppl with our lifestories. When people seek encouragement or kind words on the other hand, we're obviously not gonna beat them down, even if it requires a lie or two

As a German living in Australia I have experienced many situations where I got into huge trouble because my "innocent" direct comment was taken as unpolite and confrontational. This is really hard when you are not even critizising or complaining or angry, and suddenly there is a conflict. E.g. I would leave a short concise note for a colleague, thinking that this is just a mental note but nothing confrontational but then get attacked for not clouding it in 10 polite phrases.

I think you guys ought to definitively sort out 'direct' vs 'honest' vs 'rude' vs 'opinionated', etc., and talk a LOT more specifically about context, culture and history with respect to this subject. Generalization is a slippery slope to begin with; to arrive at conversations which are clear, and maybe productive, and truly culturally informative, choose your terms well and make what you mean by them clear to the interviewees. I recognize that this is a fun exercise, but yours are important voices on this platform; being thoughtful and responsible should not take anything away from good times. :)

Direktheit ist, wie vieles, kulturabhängig. Deutsche Kultur ist im weltweiten Vergleich sehr direkt und ist auf dem gleichen Niveau wie in den Niederlanden. Sugercoating bzw. etwas diplomatisch auszudrücken ist nicht die deutsche Art. Als Deutscher im Ausland sollte man sich bewusst sein, dass der Umgang bezüglich Direktheit in den meisten Ländern ganz anders ist. Es hängt also vom Kontext ab. Neueinwanderer in Deutschland sollten sich darauf einstellen, dass Ihnen (oft auch ungefragt) Deutsche etwas mitteilen, was im jeweiligen Heitmatland als beleidigend gilt. Like many things, directness depends on culture. German culture is very direct compared to the rest of the world and is on the same level as in the Netherlands. Sugercoating or expressing something diplomatically is not the German way. As a German abroad, you should be aware that most countries have a very different approach to directness. So it depends on the context. New immigrants in Germany should be prepared for Germans to say something to them (often without being asked) that is considered offensive in their home country.

Thirs option which I just thought : it was a joke of the old man. He wanted just start the conversation.

That is a typical example of German humor, saying something that is intentionally unexpected, provocative, or irritating. You find this very often with older german males.
