Lovely culture

DO NOT do the two-handed gesture - that is really offensive, especially to someone you do not know. Even one, spread-fingered open hand pointing at someone (two hands are an emphasis) is offensive. The Greeks gesture the number five with the palm pointing at themselves, NOT the other person. Left over from Byzantium, where they pushed ash or excrement in the face of a convict with an open hand.

This is very exaggerated. Of course say thanks and sorry. It all depends on the level of intimacy. We don't say thanks mom, but we say thanks boss or thanks mister. If someone is a stranger or higher socially we are polite, but we're not polite with family and friends. For example you see a customer in a supermarket being very cosy and straightforward with the cashier, but that's probably because he goes shopping there every week and they've engaged in small talk before, so they behave kind of like friends. But if a Greek guy walks into a shop for the first time, he's very polite and discreet. Maybe we get carried away with stereotypes or we misunderstand Greek social interactions because we don't know their history or context.

Agree with the first Greek man on polite words. I lived in Greece and noticed many Greeks were a bit put off by my using please and Thank you too much. As I learned the language I also used those words sparingly as Greek can imply polite requests by other means. Δώσε μου can come across as abrupt but μου δίνεισ; can imply a polite form.

The dude is exaggerating. Yes, there are people who are a bit direct but in a kind way, and this is to show some friendliness. This guy is not making much sense. Generally speaking you will notice Greeks being very polite. This is my experience.

yes maybe in comperison to othe cultures we are quite straight foward... but i always remember my parent mentioning to say please and thank you,

I'm British-Greek, I use "please" and "thank you" all the time. I also use them when I'm in Greece and I haven't gotten any strange looks yet...

I don't know who the gentleman is, but his basically wrong. Of course "please" and "thank you" is used by polite people in polite conversation. As for the hand gesture, it is really offensive.

We must eat before go to the party its logic than we be hungry for wait the food 😂 so we dinner two time in one night 🤣 🖐Hello im from indonesia😊

Yay! I like my asian ethnic group very much. I am a cultural anthropological intellectual

In America, in New Jersey, when I was young I guess the early 1980's we too used to go house to house singing carols for money. They don't do that anymore.

Awesome place🎉🎉😊

It's very lazy ignorant and rude to keep people waiting after you have agreed on a appointed time. I don't care what country your from.

I was raised by my maternal grandparents; my Grandfather was born in Afghanistan and i always appreciated his hospitality and love ❤

Also depends on the house and the dynamics there. If you have a loving home- you'd want to stay; if not, you'd want to leave.

What? Chinese don't have any etiquettes.

🙏 🌺♾️🕊️ I’d love to hear more +

2:55 Wow! I wasn't expecting this! That is so interesting! I was expecting Afghanistan to be such a dangerous country! But so many good things only, while however, the last bad thing include, killing the just born babies! That is quite dangerous, I'll take it!

As salamu aleikum, I am married to a pashtun man living in Pakistan who already has got a family. I still live in my country and plan to move to live with my husband sooner or later. Can you give tips for me as european muslim how to be the best wife for my pashtun husband? Batak Allahu feekum.

And the mountza does NOT mean “you’re an idiot”, it’s much more offensive even than that.

Greeks don’t say please and thank you? Simply not true. Maybe they don’t say it as MUCH, but it’s DEFINITELY used.

thanksss soo muchh for this playlist about Greece TOT really helped me make my project about Greece :)

Super helpful, thank you.

I am working with Afghan refugees and time is an issue. Often when I go to pick up someone for an appointment they are not ready, want to stop for me to drink tea while this is very sweet the doctor, school, clinic etc are not working on Afghan time 😀

Afghanistan Zendeh baad . Fooooood kheili khoobe.

Not entirely accurate, as usual comingling her culture with Islamic religion which is not one and the same. Taliban confuses this too. Your culture is separate and apart from our Islamic religion.

Nice 😊

Yummy!

promosm 😩

Wow! African Americans are similar to Afghans about time. When we invite other Americans who are not of African decent we often give them a later time to arrive. Written invitations can be confusing, I will typically just verbally connect with a person and explain that a start time for a party will likely be when we begin to cook. 😂 I wonder if we carry this concept of time from our homeland even though we are so many generations deep.

central asian countries in general are so beautiful <3 love afghanistan!

the most important celebrations are eid, not nowruz. dont spread this misinformation

Filipino time is like an Afghan time 😅, and the way on how you serve the guest, we also do that, we serve the best beverages food that we have, and if you suddenly go to the kitchen to get the food without asking the permission to the owner of the house, they will silently judging you 😅😅✌

I'm in line to help sponsor an Aghani family in the US, and your videos are very helpful. I m binge watching videos of your cuisine to help me get a sense, as a chef, of how to guide them through the insanely large supermarkets here without overwhelming them, how to help them find the things they need. I was married to a Muslim man for many years and I get that side of them. I want to help them have an easy landing to make a new life here or wherever they wish. Thanks so much for these videos. 🙂

I'm from St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands. We call it Island Time. 🙂

if the slap sound on the back of the hand is not heard, have you even thrown a moutza?

Thank you for posting these videos a family from Afghanistan moved in recent near me refugees from the war. I wish I would have known about proper greeting. But I've been watching a lot of videos and know a lot more.

Ur Right Great Presentation of Our beloved Country 💖🇦🇫💖🇦🇫💖🇦🇫

The~ Love it- this is excelelnt ! catch you later~✋

I have some new neighbors down the street who are afghan refugees, and they are by far the sweetest people I've ever met, and the women cook some absolutely AMAZING food. I'm trying so hard to make sure that I'm respectful in their home, and this was quite helpful! Thank you!

My mother loves with us. Neither parent went into an elderly home. But I think culturally, we are divided about 50% on how this is.

shame for here she sold her country

지금 같이 얼굴을 보이게 하고. 다니세여. 이쁜데요.

These are SO great. I am meeting with a Afghan Community group today for work (San Diego Police). I have a lot of Islamic cultural experience but, no Afghan experience. Any videos on Gift Giving in Afghan culture? I am bringing dates to our meeting, but not sure what else to bring.

This music sounded more like Iranian than the Afghan music I thought the major music of Afghanistan is of the Pashtuns{Afghan}music

That Quabuli Pulau is similar to carrot salad in the west, but with out the rice and meat.

Time is an eurocentric obsession imposed on the most other cultures. Afghans aren't the only people who show up "late" to a party. :)
