[@mikicerise6250]

In Spain, a subtle way to 'insult' someone without swearing at them is actually the reverse of Japanese - to speak to someone formally who you would normally speak to informally, or especially to reply to someone formally who addressed you informally. Here the informal is seen as familiar and friendly, and to respond formally to an informal greeting is like a slap in the face, like saying "hey - you are not my friend, don't presume to be so close to me." So here it can actually be more insulting to be polite. We often joke ironically about this too. The other day I was in a local café and a woman came in behind me to order some coffee, and she addressed the barista formally. The barista was so surprised she laughed and addressed the client even *more* formally and everybody laughed. The client laughed and apologised, explaining that she works in customer service and spends all day issuing formal greetings, so it's a force of habit. So then I addressed the barista even more formally and everyone laughed again. So you can imagine... here in Spain you actually might apologise to someone for addressing them too formally, because it can be seen as pretentious or putting too much distance between yourself and the other person. Also middle aged people often do not like it when young people address them formally, because it makes them feel old, and it is common for them to be offended by it. ;)

[@solarsmile9990]

Miki Cerise Same in English and German, probably something whole Europe has in common :D

[@mikicerise6250]

Kelthire No. It's not a sarcastic, affected formalism. It's a genuine formalism, because you genuinely don't want the other person 'near' you. I think the interesting thing is in Asia formal speech has become most strongly identified with honour and respect, whereas in Europe it has come to denote mainly distance and aloofness, although there elements of both in both places. Even so, Spain is probably the least formal country in Europe.

[@maniacal_engineer]

This is why "kisama" is an insult - the Ki means nobility. Also you can put "-tono" as a suffix and that is pretty over the top

[@mikicerise6250]

I take it you're American, Kelthire? ;)

[@Kick0a0cat]

Solar Smile I don't completely agree in British English and German. It's definitely insulting to answer formally towards an informal question, but when you talk to a barista - depending on the dialect and location of course - I think it would be generally viewed as weird to be "too friendly". In Germany most old people (like really old :D) do not like being addressed informally, but that also depends on a lot of factors. In Berlin or Bavaria people seem to be more informal, but in northern Germany, you'd better be a little too polite. But as long as you are nice, people usually won't be offended that easily :) Everyone likes a smile, even Germans :D

One issue with American insults is that they are too generic that they may not be actually describing the situation.

Then combined with the infrequent usage of insults in the culture, I’m willing to bet they are significantly more damaging to someone’s self esteem than a generic insult you see in America.

now that you mention it, actually (italian here)if someone (maybe with the best intentions; it happens sometimes with customer service located outside the EU, that exibit a surprisingly good level of knowledge of italian) calls me "sir", with any tone, I'd instinctively and immediately think he is treating me like a total fool.... cultural differences can be scary, one must always assume the communication can be formally correct, but somehow not gathering the intended "feeling"....

Dude someone saying that is probably seconds away from punching or being punched by their interlocutor. It's extremely rude. It sounds silly if you translate it literally but so would trying to translate "motherfucker" into Japanese.

[@electricfishfan7159]

I’m going out on a limb and guessing that an accurate translation would be more like, “leave you f*cking moron!” since it’s meant to be plausibly intimidating. Many english curses basically amount to amplifiers and serve a similar purpose in daily conversation as lowering formality towards someone/something.

You should do a video about language that gets censored on TV in Japan. The most confusing word I have heard bleeped on TV is clitoris. It's the correct name of that part of the anatomy so why is it bleeped (the correct anatomical Japanese name is 陰核 インカク inkaku) but still, people can say penis on TV here (or at least I've heard it)

it's ironic how in eastern to change the way you insult you have to reduce the politeness of a sentence. while in Italian you sound rude if you don't use the polite form but it's not that insulting, to insult in Italian you have to add direct insults and or blasphemy (it's pretty common). in English instead there si little to no difference between polite and unpolite sentences, and to insult you have to add direct insults and curse words.

Very informative video, Yuta. Thank you. It is pretty obvious you don't realize your example verb, "get off", has a slang connotation, at least in North American English. It can mean, "have an orgasm". Examples: "I just got off.", "She gets off.", etc. I think the original slang was "get your rocks off", applying only to guys, but the simpler form can apply to anyone. It also has a non-sexual connotation of "enjoy greatly". Example, in this case referring to a kid: "He is getting off on those power rangers figures. One's actual meaning is usually clear from context. Sometimes grammar itself makes it obvious: "He got off on the bus." BTW, it was quite clear in your video that you meant "remove oneself from". While it might cause some to smile, your video was in no way offensive.

@@fuzzywumble I totally disagree. A culture is where people share common values and conform to those values BUT the important difference is the level at which our values are. We value that we greet each other but only the greeting and not all the details surrounding the act. In Japan every detail is remembered and expected every single time and with so many details, conformity is no longer a good thing in my opinion. I believe that diversity is as important in a society and in Japan people are trying their best to not diversify, the best example of this thought is the saying: the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. I find the Japanese societal norms are way to much and that can be seen in the rebbeling youth. It is luckily slowly changing.

this is so funny! in brazilian portuguese we have similar insults to the spanish ones, but we took it to the next level. we use casual language most of the time, and curse words are not too frowned upon. so depending on context (and dialect, as we have many) we end up using curse words not only for insulting but also for emphasis, as an adjective, as a preposition... even when not mad but ESPECIALLY when we are mad. It is weird and kind of funny I guess - we use it so much, that the sexualized origin of the curse words was kind of lost and know is just like this random, generic particle. of course, you won't likely curse like that in front of your boss or your parents, but it is quite common while talking with friends or the internet.
