When A Canadian Dates A German... Cultural Differences

[@ElRackadusch]

Why is it polite asking people questions, when you are not interested in the answers. When I (as a german) ask "how are you" I am interested in the answer.

[@hoobymarburg167]

ask me the same question and I`ll send you my 450 pages of my medical record, and the ones of my family ;-)

[@Mel-id7yq]

Yeah but if I would ask you I would be interested. I, as a german would like to hear about your issues and what’s currently bothering you when I ask.

[@hoobymarburg167]

Mel, I know what you mean. American small talk is a different social tradition. It is their idea of politeness and they say, if you can`t say anything nice, don`t say anything at all. One should not take it literally though.

[@xiongrainbow]

ElRackadusch lol Chinese people greet people with 'have you taken your meal?',and they never care about the answer.

[@imaginarychip4916]

wait chiness cna use youtube ? i heard they have their own apps and sites

[@uniilicious]

Lilian's english sounds so great!

[@puppetofmasters]

Isn't it actually more polite and respectful to leave people alone rather than pressure them into having a conversation about mundayne things (which is basically just making noises)? I always feel Germans are more OK with not having to verbalize things as much. So it can feel kind of OCD to a German, if people have to constantly be verbally reminded of human conncetion and that they're not alone. Makes them seem so anxious. I don't think Germans don't want to talk to each other, it's more that they don't have to. As much.

[@AlexisLilian]

Interesting point! Never really thought of it this way, but it’s true! - L

[@AB-yt8bk]

I love your comment here. That is exactly how I feel as a german. Sometimes it is almost annoying when someone comments and expresses literally everything, and the more I try to calm it down with being less talking, the other person will talk even more, because he wants to keep the conversation up. omg it can be a conflict! :-D

[@juresica7279]

Lilian totally looks like Anne Hathaway with blonde haire 😂

[@AlexisLilian]

Jessy I'm dying 😂😂😂 Lilian and I were just talking about how multiple people have said this. I don't see it at all !

[@michaelgriffith9205]

Now that you mentioned.....

[@vosk6481]

@@AlexisLilian its the eyes, eyebrows, and lips

[@ElRackadusch]

Germany has 16 Bundesländer. Only in one of them Oktoberfest is celebrated. I am 35 years old and I have never been to Oktoberfest. And I only know 2 or 3 people that have ever been there. Lilian seems to come from the south of germany, but that's not transferable to other parts of germany. I am from Ostfrisland (north west of germany) and there isn't a lot that is similar to bavaria for example. If I speak in my dialect and a bavarian speaks in his/her dialect, none of us would understand anything. When people from north america think about germany the mostly think of southern germany. The south is very beautiful, but when you are in germyn for the next time, take the time to visit some other places. The are (mostly) nice too.

[@AlexisLilian]

I‘m actually from Berlin :)

[@ElRackadusch]

Okay, sorry. Sounded not like that. And the american cliche of germany is always from southern gemany, because the united states were garrisoned in bavaria after WW2. I will check your chanel if there is more stuff like this (differences canada/north america vs. germany). If I will find this stuff I will watch it.

[@TigersTimelessTreasures]

Hey, I'm from Berlin!!!!

[@TigersTimelessTreasures]

The US Army was not just in Bavaria. However the cliche that all Germans act/look like bavarians is one of my (many) pet peeves!

[@ValerieRaya]

I am living near Ostfriesland (stolzer Niedersachse hier, aber südlicher, obwohl es mich ans Meer zieht) and it always seemed to me that Bavaria could be another country altogether...

In Finland we celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve too:) Opening presents, official Christmas meal etc... 25th is just a lazy day at home and Christmas is pretty much done, nothing really happens except you have to eat leftovers:D

yeah Poland too but UK they have 25th and Santa Claus is father Christmas :))))

[@TigersTimelessTreasures]

KZbin decided that I needed to see your video. You two are too cute! I am now an American, but still consider myself German. I always liked that it is easier to make small talk in the US. But I had to learn that when someone asks you "How is it going?" They don't really want to know, because until someone educated me, I would give them my life story. But I last year I have learned the difference between friends in Germany and acquaintances in the US. And I do get annoyed when the cashier at the grocery store asks me where I am from. I used to tell them "I will tell you tonight over a drink at the bar" (no, I was not hitting on them, but I was trying to tell them that we don't have the kind of relationship where my life is any of their business. I gave that up, because I realized that they didn't understand my weird German sense of humor.

[@JenniferKGraf]

Tiger H I get your humour😂 I HAAAAAATTTTEEEE small talk. Like...how do you even do that? It's soooo annoying ICH BIN SO FROH, DASS ES DAS HIER NICHT WIRKLICH GIBT

[@LooPing107]

I'm German and could relate to almost all of this except for the King of Queen thing 😄 I really don't know anyone who's watching that show

[@johanna6223]

Loo Ping haha ja ich auch ^^ hab von der Serie nich mal was gehört 🙈

[@hoobymarburg167]

[@whatnextsunshine3046]

Carry and Doug... Carry and Doug :-D

[@im1595]

What next, sunshine? It got less but King of Queens used to be on constant reruns on Kabel7 for years. I watched it all of the time how old are you guys though I am 23 so if you are a bit older or younger that might not have been the time you watched afternoon TV much.

[@carolf9031]

I’m Brazilian and we open presents on the 24th after Christmas dinner! At least my family does... haha

[@louiseladegaard6177]

I´m Dane and we do the same thing :)

[@ToniCookie]

I am German and yes, I watch and love King of Queens xD About the small talk topic: efficiency is kind of important in the German everday life so it is seen as polite to say "Hello/Goodbye", smile and just not waste the time of someone else. You might get into a little small talk at the bus stop because everyone there needs to wait.

[@moi4791]

Mal interessant das zu sehen :) Das sind teilweise so Kleinigkeiten über die man sich normalerweise keine Gedanken macht und erst im Ausland fällt es einem dann auf 🤔 Euch beiden alles Gute, ihr wirkt sehr sympathisch ☺️

[@DrDonutWithCoffee]

German here. I don’t personally watch king of queens but I’ve definitely noticed the reruns on TV 😂 And yeah, I would definitely agree that when a german is nice to you, it’s because they genuinely like you. I also live in Canada so I see both sides of your videos. Compliments are definitely more common in Canada from people you don’t know or know that well.

[@Scoop_MO]

Also my grandma is from Germany and the whole slipper thing wearing them around the house is definitely true

[@seelenwinter6662]

i am from germany and i can say that this isnt true... i dont know one...

[@Whatareyougonnahuh]

My girlfriend is Greek and I'm from Seattle. I can definitely relate to the slipper thing. Her mom and grandma thought I was crazy for walking around barefoot and kept offering me shoes while we were at their house. It was confusing at first, but now I've adopted that at home too.

[@NancyButterworth]

THIS IS CRAZY ACCURATE! My husband is Swedish, (seems v similar to German as Im finding here) and Im Aussie! (always chatting and asking people stuff like you said Alexis). He wears the slippers, I wear socks, the small talk thing and the jokes going over his head. Feels good to relate :)

[@NancyButterworth]

Swedes open their presents the night before as well, found it very strange!

[@minifridge284]

I'd never had guessed that you're from Germany, because your English is soo good!

I’m Dutch and live in the south part of The Netherlands. Here it’s a mix between Germany and Belgium. In Maastricht City we speak a dialect with German and French Words included. In Maastricht the French influence is still big while it’s a Dutch City.

[@DanicaChristin]

Lilian, you definitely picked up the Canadian accent a little. Same thing happened to me living in Australia 😅

[@AlexisLilian]

she definitely did. I guess thats what happens when you live somewhere for 5+ years :) -A

In Mexico we actually celebrate Christmas on the 24th. We open the presents and all that on Christmas Eve, while the 25th is more like getting together to eat the leftovers, or recalentado.

[@viktoriaszekeres]

Hi Guys! I'm from Hungary and we open the christmas presents at night on 24th of December, too. And we celebrate Santa Claus on 6th of December. So it's not a cheap month cause we give gifts to each other in the family. :)

Hey I'm from Germany and my girlfriend is from Canada... I'm freaking out a bit right now... I found your account today and am so happy. You two are really sympathic! Can't wait to see more videos😇❤️

[@AlexisLilian]

haha that’s awesome! we’re actually going to film another one in the canada vs germany series today 😊 so you can expect that to come out soon

[@roschcle]

I kind of have the same experience here. My husband is from Canada but he moved to Germany though. When we get asked by friends either side about cultural differences we actually talk about a lot of the things you mentioned. 😉

[@Laety]

The ironic thing about your branding point is that the German(European) product you showed to me looks more presentable and aesthetically pleasing to buy off the shelf. , than the North American one. Which I find is often the case esp when I browse for products online at European retailers . American products do try to make their products spund good but the packaging and presentation in my opinion leaves a lot to be desired.

[@nachttaenzerin]

Oh yes, King of Queens is definitely a German favourite. My wife and I used to watch in on TV, then bought the fridge-shaped DVD box set and binged the original version it while we were doing Erasmus in Wales. We cite it everyday and never grow tired of it.

[@AlexisLilian]

Finally someone who agrees! 😆

[@swan9721]

In Poland we celebrate Christmas on 24th as well:) And also the small talk thing is pretty much the same as in Germany here!

[@googles1515]

I loved seeing the Tim Hortons included for Canada!!

[@sarahknauth313]

King of Queens.... Check! I have been in a cross-cultural relationship with a girl from Norway and MANY weird / funny / shocking differences accrued. I can relate to this video so much :) You two are very cute, thanks for bringing up memories to smile about.

[@thuvando70]

I am Asian American and my girlfriend is Thai. We have our similarity and culture differences. Thai do not celebrate Christmas and American does. Also long distance relationship is hard but it worth it because I love her. Love you guys!!

[@norbdag6590]

just came down here to comment on the king of queens thing. HELL YEAH (actually i think when they told kevin james how popular it was over here, he was surprised and excited haha) also, im in a german/canadian relationship too and you two look cute as heck together :3 oh yeah and my biggest pet peeve is when he asks me "what are you doing" and i reply with "nothing" as in..nothing important, for example, browsing youtube and he says "well, youre doing something!" germans just have a way of communicating as little as possible :D

[@vickiersful]

oh thanks god ive been rewatching the old videos so many times

[@lukadese]

Im also from Germany but we open our Christmas presents after dinner at the 24th and when I was a child we visited our grandparents on the 25th for having breakfast ( or pretty much just cakes :D ) and the presents where opened after the meal but still in the morning. So I guess we did the german-canadian mix before you :D

[@QueridaAvo]

In Portugal we open presents at the 25th too :)

[@AsdfAsdf-cw6mz]

Im from Portugal and half of my family opens them on the 24th starting around 22pm. :)

[@menininha92]

also LOL at cultural difference in branding 😂😂😂 So true!!

[@davidgrz9834]

We have a dinner at Christmas eve and open up the presents after the meal. After we opened up the presents, we play parlor games like ludo. We watch „Kevin home alone“ too. In the morning at December 25th, we all go to our grandparents house where we meet my uncle and aunt and my cousins. We celebrate Christmas again. We have lunch together (more feastful than usual) and get presents after lunch, again. That’s at least what my family does, and I‘m sure we‘re not the only one^^. We celebrate Christmas twice basically.

[@robertbarnett3409]

I am American and I love to see the way different cultures celebrate holidays or even the many different holidays all around the world. This is one of my favorite things about You Tube I can learn so much about cultures around the world. I am pretty sure that you are apart now and I hope that you are doing well I know how hard it can be. I was in the military and was deployed for months at a time and it is hard to leave family behind especially during the holidays. Love you both and I am looking forward to seeing the new way that you are going to do the videos...

[@kolorowafiranka]

In Poland we open presents on 24 as well at the evening, but after dinner :)

[@airotkiv]

I am the child of a binational relationship and it definitely gives you lots of great stories to tell! My mum's Polish and my dad's German. One of my favourite stories is how when my parents met in England in the early 90s, my mum saw my dad and her first thought was "I hope he's not German" because there used to be quite a lot of prejudice towards Germans where she was from. Also, my mum who was raised deeply catholic and who was a little prude at the time first met my German grandparents at a nudist beach (my dad's from eastern Germany where nudist beaches were and still are quite common), definitely a slightly unusual kind of culture shock haha We still get lots of laughs from my mum being polish now, because although she speaks Germany fluently and without any accent, she sometimes messes up words, especially connected nouns and and prefixes! Just a few days ago she said "Gedankenschnaps" instead of "Schnapsidee" and she often confuses words like "einschließen" and "anschließen". It is so hilarious when she wants to say that she'll join someone and says that she'll lock herself in instead :D

[@ThisColorfulWorld]

I'm American and my wife is Swedish and we can relate a lot to these differences hahahaha

[@Mahjabiene]

My experiences are, that often people of other cultural backgrounds are more relaxed with conversations and more heartily and in this case, I'm definitely not german! I really hate this thing in Germany. There are areas in Germany, where the people like to make smalltalk and are more heartily for example in Cologne and the most stiff persons are in Schwaben, where I grew up. Today, I had a nice and interesting conversation with an american guy in the morning at a café. A german man felt disturbed, he said that he wanted to read his newspaper and was leaving angrily. So I really was annoyed by that. And I liked to talk with the man, but germans think, if you do as a woman, that you fell in love and have some serious interest. So all the people are staring at you, why I'm talking to the guy. Hey, I only like to talk and to have good conversations and it was clear, that we don't ever see us again. But people think, that this woman wants to have him as boyfriend and is not so good behaved because he actually has got a girlfriend. I really hate this, because people are lonely because of that and they can never talk. So I feel like a stranger in my own country. What I like in Germany, that people are honest, that they are good planned and this make working a lot easier. And that people try to make you the work the easiest and the most comfortable as possible. I worked with other people of other countries, it was bad organized, they didn't think that I need time for preparation, I was really angry because they were talking too late, you had to organize and prepare anything and I didn't get much payment. In this case, I like the germans more, because it's better organized, you have enough time for preparation and can show your good work, the payment is better and it's a lot healthier to work in such conditions. And you don't have to care of anything else than your own job, because you can rely on people and there aren't bad surprises.

[@LunaSanguine]

Now living in Schwaben but people here seem more open here to me than in the place where I grew up in Bavaria. But this might also be because now I live in a place with five times as many inhabitants as in my childhood-village.

It's funny because my wife and I are both swiss, but I feel that your cultural differences apply to us as well. I'm from the italian speaking side, she is from the swiss-german speaking side and we now live in the french speaking side. The countries around us influence greatly our culture. I would say food is quite different, but one thing with which I struggle is greetings. Like, when we arrive at a dinner party with 10 or more people, I would just say a collective "Hello everybody!", she would go and shake hands with anyone and the "romands" (from the french speaking side) would kiss everybody on the cheeks, even if they don't know them.

I live in Latvia (which is located above Germany) and I find a lot of things in common with Germans and Europeans in general. About the Christmas celebration - we celebrate it in the evening of the 24th as well, and I can't imagine the whole thing in the morning of the 25th. It's so unusual for me to see this in movies. But at the end - it's called culture and it is normal to have so many different cultures around the world, because that makes everything so exciting, doesn't it? 🙂
