Some people even tell you "tuteame" when you treat them of "usted". One political uncle did it to me but he was Venezuelan and wasn't used to the "usted" treatment.

[@JF-wp2rz]

That's so weird because if I called my parents or grandparents, uncles, aunts... "Sie" (usted) they would be super hurt. It's almost like saying "I don't consider you family". It's so interesting that there is such a big difference between these languages.

[@peterbilt6662]

How do you use usted in a sentence tho

[@ehhe4381]

You use the third person singular. Usted is a contraction of "su merced" so you use the verb conjugation fir it... you eat - tú comes your mercy (it) eats - su merced come/usted come

[@frankygiannoni2294]

I'm from Milan, Italy, I cam comment on some points. POINT 3: In Italy we don't have people who pack at the supermarket, but in all gas stations you can choose to do it yourself or have someone fill the tank for you (and by consequence the second option costs a little bit more). We don't have people offering to park your car. Sometimes in concert theaters there are people who take you to your seat (I always see these people in France and there they ask you for a tip). With all my respect, I can find my seat by myself. POINT 5: Well, I think in several languages you can find people adding something to a sentence that is not necessary for the meaning, but it's necessary just for the "use". In Italian we often start the questions with "ma" (but), in English I hear a lot of people saying "you know" several times, in French they say "quoi" at the end of a sentence. P.S. I can confirm that also the Mexicans I have known were late :-D POINT 5 we never call family members with the formal pronoun, but my grandmother told me that, when she was a kid (in the 30s) she did it with her mother. POINT 7: I don't think we have candies with chili, but we do have small chocolates with chili and they are delicious (said by someone who doesn't like spicy food) POINT 8: it can happen also in Italian to say something and add the NO at the end. It's not the same, but it's similar to a sentence just like "We're going to the cinema, aren't we?" POINT 9 If some people are discussing about something they really care about, also here people can interrupt one another.

[@JossAndJanik]

Thanks for sharing how things are in Italy, Franky 😊 In Germany there is also chocolate with chili, didn't think of that!

Haha, yes, the use of “ya” confused me a lot when I came to Mexico, and to be honest, I still find it weird sometimes. But I have come to the conclusion that it not only means “already”, but a whole bunch of other things, too - including “finally” 😲😅

[@bastet9994]

It's simple and it's all about the context. "Ya" means "already", "finally" and "now".

[@ivetterodriguez1994]

Ya acabe de ver este video.

[@melissamarie2095]

It can also be used to say "that's enough," or "stop." If someone is arguing or fighting you could also say, "¡Ya!"

I believe the oven thing is actually a Latin American thing in general and it's actually a problem. I was once cooking Picaña (I'm Brazilian and we do that inBrazil as well, even if we use the oven every day) for my wife's family and out of the blue the horrible burnt plastic smell took over the house and I found out (the worst way) that I had left a teflon spoon in the back of the oven!

Lo de lavar las calles con jabón es porque muchas veces en Mexico hay personas que orinan en la calle y genera mal olores o aveces la popo de paloma en el piso se ve mal. Por eso en muchos locales lavan con jabón, lo de levantar el polvo es correcto. Lo de usted para mi es normal. Y no me siento menos que nadie por decirlo simplemente se les dice a las personas mayores por respeto o como dice Janik a extraños que no conoces. Existen varias culturas como la Coreana, China, Japonesas donde a los mayores usan palabras para referirse a ellos y no lo veo como algo malo. Es algo cultural donde demuestras "aprecio" por personas mayores o también lo puedes usar para hablar formalmente. Creo que lo del horno es porque para cocinar comida mexicana no es indispensable tener un horno, rara vez se utiliza el horno para hacer platillos mexicanos; asi que lo ocupan para guardar cosas. En mi familia lo mas común es poner sartenes que son mas grandes y no hagan tanto bulto en la alacena y lo que mas usamos asi esta a la mano mas fácil. Y como se usa pocas veces no nos importa ponerle cosas.

To answer your first question, the reason why some people mop & sweep outside is because not only does it look nicer & attractive, but it's also to repeal flies, mosquitoes, bugs and other pests like mice and rodents. Citronella, lavender, eucalyptus & tea tree scent will keep them all away. That's why some restaurants and certain businesses use the smells like Fabulous which has an industrial strength lavender scent. It's basically a courtesy to keep them away from guests.

In regards to the use of the oven, I can say that yes, my parents have never used the oven to cook. It is mostly just used for storing pans and tablecloths. I and my siblings were the first to use the oven after it went unused for about 15 years, and we typically use it for pastries. Now, however, we mostly use the toaster oven instead since it is smaller, more convenient, and the baked goods typically come out better.

In every social group like friends, family, ie, I pointed it out and they feel so called out and a bit angry when I do so. Regarding Joss's "no", it actually is read as "no?". In the example Joss said "we are going to the movies, aren't we?". So it's not an affirmation but a question, more like confirma para confirmar xd. Also, in my home especifically we don't use the oven as a storage place since my mom uses it at least twice a month, but I've noticed in some of my friends' homes, it's used to keep pans and stuff.

I even told her once and she agreed that it was weird but kept doing it anyway. I’ve lived with my boyfriend for a couple of years now and I can proudly say that our oven is kept completely empty at all times.

For cleaning the street with detergent is regarding dust but, you do it with the dirty water you used to clean the house so you don't use clean water because you'll be throwing the dirty water anyway so you might as well use it to clean the sidewalk.

[@laurasebastian6036]

Y en España también limpian las calles con agua y detergente. Al menos a veces, las limpian con agua a presión, y creo que a veces llevan detergente por que huele bien cuando paso, pero lo normal es hacerlo con agua a presión solo (por parte del Ayuntamiento). Después, los negocios y limpiadores de los edificios donde vive la gente, limpian el trocito de entrada al edificio o tienda con el agua restante de limpiar el suelo de dentro. Entendéis? Jeje espero haberme explicado

[@monicavaquerano6271]

About the sidewalk haha. Mostly to keep a good image but sometimes the side walks can be very dirty let’s say because of garbage bags that have been there waiting for the garbage truck and leave their nasty trail behind lol or dog poop, or even puke or other types of human waste… 💩or 🟡 you need to clean that with detergent 🤢

[@restlessbutterfly4858]

! LONG COMENT AHEAD! Ok...... the explanation of why do we wash the street with soap ( in my personal opinion) it's simply because when we finish washing the floors inside we look for a way to drain the water ( note that in Mexico is for cleaning the inside floor, its commo throwing several bucket's of water mix with soap and then scrub it wit a broom) so using logic and gravity in most cases because many houses are a little elevated from the street grown, we re-direct the soapy water outside sometimes through the front door or the garage so it ends in the street that will lead it then to the sewer, so sometimes when that water it's already out the street in front of our houses we either say " Ya de una vez la lavo aprovechando el jabón" (

[@abbyroed]

Maybe it's because I'm American and only half Mexican... but I never knew you had to use Usted for grandparents and elders! In our family we have never done this! 😳 I don't know if they just made an exception for us.

There is bagging of groceries by the store staff or self bagging of groceries in the United States depending on the store you shop at. Some gas stations still have attendants pump gas for you but most gas stations are self serve. Some of that is by state, each state has different laws and regulations regarding handling of flammable liquids by a customer or by an authorized attendant.

[@JulianAllescher]

I don't really get why the "no" at the end of sentence is weird for Janik. In Standard German we also say "nicht wahr?" or in Colloquial German "ne?" at the end of sentence. Also in English you have "is it/ isn't it?".

[@Jeanniebugg]

In English - American English, anyways - we do have "sir "and "ma'am". Those are to be used as a sign of respect - especially if you're from the south and especially if your elders are from the south.

[@josevaldez154]

For Point 8, we also use the ‘no’ in front of the sentence or question, which makes it confusing. For instance, we sometimes say “no quieres ir conmigo?” when in reality what we are actually asking is whether that person would like to go with you and not if that person would not like to go with you. We also say “no quieres?” when we are offering something to someone. Sometimes we have to clarify our response by saying “si, si quiero” because just saying “si” or “no” to the question “no quieres?” could mean “si, no quiero” or “no, si quiero.” 😅

[@KaoruTakarai]

We still have people filling up your tank in some gas stations in Spain, and I know for a fact it used to be the case in Germany, as well. Things are just getting automatized where they weren't before. Also, I was in Germany this summer and I recorded a waitress using a VACUUM CLEANER on the street in front of her shop! That's at least as weird as using detergent on it! Some of the other things you mention we do in Spain as well like using the oven for storage. And we don't do it nowadays, but older generations (my parents, who're 70, do it) did address their own parents as "usted".

Live in the US, we have a cabinet for everything that would go in the oven, and also got a small oven because I hate using the big oven... so... now we have an unused oven, that holds nothing. But my husband will try to cook stuff there... and I always put the food in the smaller oven because it cooks faster (in my opinion). Also, I was diagnosed with ADD. one of the symptoms is... you interrupt people. I was like... nope, I'm just Mexican we all do it! and I thought a lot of my ADD symptoms are just cultural things... like being late... or procrastinating... it's cultural... the getting easily distracted when I don't care about something that's totally a symptom.

That oven thing is a trip! One of the weird things about Germans is they'll put a casserole in a cupboard overnight (I'm guessing overnight) instead of the fridge. So I'm looking for a glass, open a cupboard, there's last night's dinner. In America we're fastidious about getting food into the fridge to prevent food poisoning. Now that I've seen how often Germans leave cheese and meat out for half a day and they somehow don't die, I feel maybe I'd been lied to about food safety. Also, don't enchiladas get baked in the oven? Am I doing it wrong?

The cleaning the side walk with detergent could be because there is a lot of stray dogs and they pee or poo everywhere and that the only way to clean your sidewalk properly.

[@elsyjdelacruz3345]

Sobre limpiar con detergente el suelo, algunas veces lo hacemos en las casa porque es agua que sobró y para no tirarla al desagüe así pues la reutilizamos

[@denissemondragon]

El "no?" al final de la frase no se me hace tan raro porque en inglés también usan la negación "you agree, don't you?", o "we should get going, shouldn't we?", etc. O en francés "n'est-ce pas?". Lo del horno es súper cierto, mi familia hace eso también con el lavatrastes! Lo del detergente y la policía también es cierto, no lo había notado 😂

hi guys... ussually the sidewalks get cleaned up... at least in my town because of the people who are in the streets use the walls as bathroom.. or the dogs....that is why soap and detergent is used... at least this happens here where I live.

[@jahireduardolopezmacias5351]

The detergent one, is because here in Mexico we don’t have a respectful culture, we let people throw food, dogs pee and poo everywhere, we puke and leave it there, so a Broom is not enough

[@celina-qo2wb]

das mit dem Ofen habe ich gerade zum ersten Mal in meinem Leben gesehen hahaha. Ich nutze meinen Ofen einfach fast täglich omg, wie kann man ohne Ofen leben?!

[@celina-qo2wb]

the thing with "no" ist similar to english when they say "it's pretty, isn't it?" :D

Soy mexicana y el punto #1 también me a parecido siempre algo loco🙃

[@EsmeMc]

sin mencionar que mi madre se rompió una pierna por caminar en una banqueta mojada con jabón de algún inconsciente.😡

[@learngermanwithvanessa]

3:25 same in Italy, it's strange

[@NightswatcherYadi]

I wash my sidewalks with a broom when I throw out my mop water. It might seem like I put detergent in it but really, it’s just the water I throw out after cleaning my floors inside.

[@studytime9155]

Soy de Mexico y mi horno está vacío y nunca he puesto nada dentro quizá porque en mi casa nunca se acostumbro porque lo usamos mucho. Pero lo chistoso es que tengo unos amigos de Estados Unidos que si lo hacen y se me hizo muy chistoso 😅

[@aramaragonzalezespinoza9389]

Mi mamá si usa el horno, pero tiene que sacar las cosas cada que va a hacer pan.

[@jasmin-ek3md]

Not only Mexico tho lol I’m Dominican and we use this as a storage for pots and pans . But not Food ! Mexicans are smart for the food stuff lol

[@lauracervantes3095]

Personally I call “usted” to my grandparents or someone that is older than me out of respect or just because I am that use to it that I would feel very weird not to do so. It’s a norm that has been part of me ever since I was little so I think it’s just a cultural thing that we see as normal. I do not feel like I am less than the other person I am calling by “usted” it’s just a term to me.

[@c_wanderluster]

I only use zie or usted for older strangers. If strangers are young and kinda my age, i don't use it🤣🤣🤣

[@agostina_m]

Hi guys! I’m from Argentina and I must say that at least I have seen the oven with things from people around me. I always found it weird. In Argentina there are many foods that are cooked in the oven so it's a bit strange to keep a lot of things there when you know that when cooking you have to take everything out. So I told myself that when I lived alone in an apartment I was going to have a piece of furniture exclusively to store things from the oven. So when you had to use it you just turn it on and it’s ready to cook! And that is what I did hehe. Anyways… I really liked the concept of this video. Greetings 😊🇦🇷

[@14saritta]

En España también metemos las sartenes en el horno! 😂😂 No tengo familia Latinoamericana ni nada 🤪

[@vamosunicornio]

[@kari0788]

Holaa, creo que lo de usted también depende de cada quien, yo también soy de slp y le hablo de tu a mis papás y mis abuelos, a todos en la familia de hecho, y así es en nuestra familia en general!

[@fernandamena9461]
