French people are similar to Germans in this regard: we're more direct, which seem as cold to other nationalities maybe. Of course there are other stereotype like punctual and so on (French are supposed to be more relaxed). Loic Suberville is really amazing!

[@ellenolsson3703]

Pourtant je ne trouve pas les Français très directs. Plus direct que les Anglais oui et plus direct que nous les Suédois.. Mais généralement dans les cultures où on est plutôt indirect les gens ont plutôt tendance à parler entre amis ou collègues "dans le dos" de quelqu'un, par exemple si cette personne se comporte d'une façon qu'on n'aime pas. Je trouve que ca se fait souvent en France; ca depend des contextes et des personnes bien sûr. J'ai quand même l'impression que les Allemands sont bien plus directs que vous. :)

But, of the people who know of the others I mentioned, most of them will ignore the rest of the country in favour of the capital, just like for Paris and France. A good example is that when people from the UK/US mimic a 'Dutch' accent, they apply the same things to their English as I would do to my Dutch if I were mimicking an Amsterdam accent (like the lispy s).

One thing about the 20/20 : it almost doesn't exist (in France). If it's a test with "binary" responses (it's right OR wrong) ok. But in a dissertation, for example where you can always pinpoint an error, forget about getting 20/20. The teacher's mindset here's is : there is always room for improvement, perfection doesn't exist, so no perfect score for you.

La grande majorité des locuteurs natifs, ceux qui l'utilisent comme langue principale, environ 80 000 000 se trouve carrément en France. Les chiffres à l'extérieur sont beaucoup plus petits. Le français diminue en Afrique car les gens le rejettent comme langue coloniale, au profit des langues nationales ou un mélange; ou il est remplacé par l'anglais come langue de travail. Au Gabon par exemple, considéré comme un pays comptant un grand nombre de francophones, seuls 25 à 30% sont des locuteurs natifs, et ce n'est qu'une supposition!

@@elrevah I did (I'm a native french), when that cashier replied "bonsoir" I felt judged LOL.

I think it's a thing between french people mainly.

[@elrevah]

​ @xenotypos I'm also from France, and what you're saying of course can happen. I personally never feel judged in such case. On the contrary, what some French people, like in this video, think that it's a thing: I'm used to live abroad and especially the countries around France. In all these countries, as almost everywhere else, it is unthinkable to say good morning in the evening, since mostly these languages use two distinct words, joined or separated: Guten Tag/Guten Abend, Good morning/good evening, Buenos días/buenas tardes, Buongiorno/buonasera, Goedendag/Goede avond. It is engraved in people's heads and nobody would make the mistake. In France on the other hand it is possible to say "bonjour" where it should be "bonsoir", some people will point it out to you, most often in a rather funny way in my experience, but very often people will not really pay attention, or will ignore it. This might be related to this very particular thing: In French for the same word you have the masculine and the female equivalents for "day" and "evening". The masculine version is used in the formal expression "bonjour"/"bonsoir", where "-jour" and "-soir" seem to be pretty abstract in my opinion, both words are like substantives: You can even say "Il te passe le bonjour" ("He says hello", "He gives you the hello" litterally translated). And then, like in the other languages I mentionned above, you have one expression with two distinct "living" words, this is the female version of both for the word "day" and "evening" that you normally use when you want to say and express gently goodbye in a nice way: "(Je vous souhaite) une bonne journée/une bonne soirée" (I wish you a) good day/a good evening". This distinction does not exist in these other languages to my knowledge, you only have "der Tag", "el día", "il giorno" etc.. Same with the word "year", l'an/l'année : Le "nouvel an" is an expression, almost a substantive, for "new year's day", but you use the female equivalent in case you wish expressely someone "une bonne année !" ("an happy new year!").

Athalane is quite right in what she says about French and overall European mentality. With the exception of Britain, you'll feel this everywhere. Europeans scare away from an overwhemingly friendly attitude that we perveive as hipocrite ans insincere. In some places this rejection is stronger ( the Netherlands, Germany, Scandinavia ) and in others people stick more to guidelines of friendliness and courtesy ( Switzerland, France, Southern Europe ) but wherever you go, it will never be as overacted as in the USA. At least, we feel it as overacted.

[@jwb52z9]

That's the thing, though. Americans aren't generally acting when they're that friendly in most cases.

[@oliveranderson7264]

I feel like Southern Europeans (Spain, Greece, Italy, Portugal, etc...) might have a more similar attitude when it comes to being friendly with strangers

[@watermelonlover745]

America has a strong Protestant work ethic and that's where it's derived from. Putting others above yourself and loving your fellow Americans

Well since Chen ids as being from NewYork City then she should have mentioned the people there have a reputation from being unfriendly, rudely blunt, and obnoxious. 😂 But then I’ve heard the same about Parisians.

Well, it's not a reputation. Small town people usually have more time on their hands, so they're more available to help out.

Lol I didn't knew France had Asian parents DNA 🥲🥲😅

[@elrevah]

I don't know what you mean but the girl on the left is the US-American one. Btw, France has the largest population of Asian origin in Europe (mainly from China, Vietnam and Cambodia), by far! Another example, there are more Buddhists in France than Protestants.

[@Arkayjiya]

@@elrevah Doesn't Germany have more Asian people with their huge Turkish population? And the UK with people from India and Pakistan?

[@elrevah]

@@Arkayjiya It depends of course on what you mean by the word "Asian",. In the US/English-speaking area the categories are specific, and in other areas classifications can be different. For instance Turks aren't simply "Asian" to me, and very probably for most of the Turks as well: They belong either to both categories "Middle-Eastern" and "European", since the country has both european and middle-eastern geographical, historical, cultural and human heritages (and in a very prosaic way you often can't differentiate Turkish people from other (south) Europeans). That some Turcics peoples originating from Siberia happened to impose their language from the Middle-Ages until recently doesn't change to this situation (same as you couldn't say that island of Madagascar is Asian because the Malagasy language is related to the Malay language).This shows the difficulty of general categorizations imposed according to sometimes dubious criteria... In France or in most of European countries - as in the first (stupid) comment above I tried to answer - you often understand "Asian" as people from the Far East: Indochinese peninsula, China, Mongolia, Siberian natives, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Philipines, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc. Further you have the people of the pacific island, Austronesia, Polynesia, etc. The Near and Middle East often aren't understood as "Asian". The Indian subcontinent and its different political entities and states is understood as a geographical and human entity on its own with the terminology "South Asian". Why should we put the label 'Asians' on all these regions from Hawai, Papeete to Izmir or Beyrouth, and from Siberia to Yemen, Sri-Lanka or Tahiti?! So, according to this terminology and to be more precise, France has the largest East-Asian population in Europe, not to mention, to get back to your own understanding of the term "Asian", that France also has the second largest Turkish community outside of Turkey after Germany, and that it also has a pretty large community from the Indian subcontinent, from Sri Lankan, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Gujarati, Punjabi migrations. Not to forget Indo-Mauritians people (from Mauritius, an island historically and culturally very close to France) or Indo-Reunionese from and in the neighbouring island and French overseas department of La Réunion. Voila ;)

Une idée de concept, faire ce genre de vidéos avec uniquement des bilingues qui parlent dans leur propre langue (l'américaine parle américain, la française parle français) et toute la vidéo est sous-titrée.
