I definately love cultural lesson like that, some impolite some is okay to ask. Your explaination is crystal clear, don't ask private questions to trangers and to people we aren't close with and don't ask this question too: when are you going to leave from here? To people we don't know well, it's none of our buessness when people will leave from certain houses or places, oh ya my request has been granted yay.😁
@@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian and when you have an appointment with your family doctor or psychiatric, it's always better to be completely sincere ;),
Thanks Bob, learned a lot of interesting knowledge. In Asia, especially in East Asia, if you don’t ask someone’s age, you can’t tell whether someone is your elder, which determines whether you should use honorific words for elders. If you don’t use honorific words, it will actually be considered rude . I think this is probably the difference between Eastern and Western cultures.
Ah, very cool to know this. I hadn't really thought of it. Here we treat someone differently (a bit) because of their position at work, but less so in the home! 😎🐝🏀
Hi dear Bob, here 😊🇻🇳, almost ALL those questions are usually asked to foreigners (and other Vietnamese) !!! 😂👍 Vietnamese people are rude, but they think it’s a friendly way to communicate. 😅
haha great video! in my country, Brazil, these questions are rude too, But some peoples use it, and it is very discomfortable! especialy, when ask questions about weight, and age to womans!
You are right...I am Spanish and now I understand why people of other countries say that we are "very open"...they want to say BOCAZAS hahaha!! All the best
Great video, Bob! I already had an idea back in Brazil of how rude those questions could be, so I'm really happy to see that Canadians also value respecting people's privacy.
I from china,i think between east Asia and western really has a various difference cultures, thanks to Bob makes me know a lot of knowledge in western about this ask question. My english is not very good, i think followed with Bob can make english easily. thank you
Asking how much it costs is considered okay just the place where I live. Not all Japan. When I moved here, I used to be shocked that everyone asked " Hey, How much is it?" "Was it expensive?" But they're just showing curiosity and also they're wanting to tell a price when they buy something. They love chatting about the stuff if it's a real bang for our buck. Funny culture, heh ? I got used to it though 🤣 Thanks!!
Wow!What a great teacher!!❤❤ Basically Iranian people including me don’t like to answer questions about making money and paying too.Another interesting point is that I saw a lot about using question “How old are you?”in my English books.But in this video I understand that.
Yes.I totally agree this lesson.even I am chinese . In any conversation if you don’t know someone very well,you shouldn’t ask people these questions. Think you . This is very useful lesson
Thanks, BOB. Here in Brazil we asked some of these questions all the time, thanks again for sharing the culture of your country, I’m improving my english with you!
This was very informative and interesting ! Thank you Bob ! In my country (Georgia), we do ask those questions and it's not considered to be impolite ! What is considered to be impolite or actually even unkind in Georgia 🇬🇪 is leaving somebody on the street without any attention when they fall or trip or are being bullied... (I live in Europe for 20 years and you were supposed not to bother with to the troubles of other people on the streets... which I always found incomprehensible... but every country has its rules and cultural differences ! Anyway, thank you again for this cultural lesson ! Would be delighted to hear more about the Canadian culture and traditions !
In Russia question about cost of something is common. It's just interest. But, yes, some people might use this information for realy be rude. However such people can any question make rudely😄
Sometimes it's hard to avoid some of these questions, especially when you are in a conversation flow and then you ask them without thinking over 😅. But yes the most of them are (little) rude and you have to be careful who you ask. Thanks Mr. Bob for the great lesson.
@@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian Yes Mr. Bob I totally agree with you. There are so many factors to consider when asking these questions (who is the person you talk to, what is your relationship to the person, etc.) It's quite tricky. Thanks 🥰.
I think it's a normal question to ask someone "How much did you pay for that?". We can ask that question when we are interested in what someone's bought and we are going to buy something like that. For example: car or mobile phone. I have always had problem with gaining weight so I would be happy to hear "Have you gained some weight?" 😁 My family is never mad at me when I ask some of these questions 🙂 it's better to talk and ask questions than avoid conversation. The more questions we ask the better we know others. We shouldn't just talk to each other only about pleasan things 🙂 Thanks for your lessons so much 😊😊
There is certainly a situational element to most of these. There are even alternate, nicer questions. For instance, I wouldn't ask some how much they paid for something, but I might ask if they bought it on sale or if they got a deal. 😎🌼🐦
thanks alote dear bob.🙏🙏🙏 you are teaching the points that may be never no teacher teach that. and that is very importent to know for good relationship with other peopel.💐💐💐
Hello, you can apply also this questions in Spain. They are the kind of topics that you shouldn’t mention with people. Than you for your content, is very helpful for people like me and others who are learning english.
Hi Bob, thank you for today's lesson. I agree that the phrases you introduced in this video sound sometimes impolite. I will be more careful about the private conversations from now on.
Hi, Bob. I use your lessons frequently in the Level 4 class I teach and my students love your videos too. You explain everything clearly and have great graphics too!
Nowadays there have been a great deal of number of crimes involving private information. What used to be no matter at all to answer such questions, now we become aware of such issues.
Bob, your lesons are really live and authenthic for English learners. I know what it means since I'm an English trainer based in France. Many thanks. I recommend learners to watch these brilliant videos. Warm regards. Andre BERENYI
Sir please make more videos like this. So that we can know about Canadian manners and culture. Then I will know the customs of Canada and for those who want to go as a new immigrant to Canada
Sometimes we ask other questions when we really want to ask the question in the video. Like instead of, "How much did you pay for that?" we might ask, "Did you get a good deal?" 😎🐝🏀
Thank you so much, Mr Bob! We need to learn some expressions like ( put it on the back burner ) we need videos for expressions like these. That would be highly appreciated. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
"Why aren't you married yet?" is the common question in Vietnam. adult usually ask young people that question to show the interest, it is very annoying to some young people. but it is not impolite. im 18 years old and i have been ask that question :))))
Thank you for your all advices .I think advices are the same for all people from any coutries in the world. Thank you again to remind us these precautions. A wink from France
I've run into the impolite people in Thailand quite often, I am Thai but I'd lived and worked in USA for decades I've been accustomed to their culture. One time I was eating in a small restuarant with friend in the neighberhood a lady walked in and talked to my neighber then turned to me asking " how old are you" I think anyone can guess how I felt at the time. We did not meet each other before.
In my country，many relatives asked those questions at some festival where we visit relatives， especially older relatives，and I hate it when they asked me some private question.
We do not speak in a civlized language because we do not know how to say and what to say due to the poverty of our cplloquial speech.Thanks for the remarkable enlightenment.
Wow, that's an amazing lesson teacher Bob. If you can do what's wrong and right in Canada's culture in detail, it will be Great. Thank you So much. Nathanael from Edmonon Canada.
White people should learn not to ask a person of color whether their family is rich because, people of color work thrice harder to become rich. White people are known for jealously when they see a rich person of color
Hi, thanks for such an interesting information! Not far me and my uni group was studied a little about Brirish and American characters. In one of our books was written smth like "It is not polite to ask British "what do you make in a year?", but absolutely normal ask Americanish about income, like your citizens really proud about it and show it off. Now I have an information to discuss with my professor :)
I don't think it's very common to ask directly. We do, however, ask questions like, "Does your job pay well?" or "Do you make more at this job than you did at your last job?" 😎🐝🏀
Thank you for the lesson, Bob! All of these questions are rude and impolite in my country too. But still once in a while I meet people who ask any of those questions. 🤦
Two huge thumbs up.👍👍 Answering these kinds of questions, I'd say, "I'll take the fifth," although I'm not sure if Canadians use it these days. It would be great to know some polite and witty ways to answer these questions.
Thank you Mr Bob, I didn't know it was rude to ask How much did you pay for something. I thought it was just want to buy the same thing and tried to check the price. Thanks.
Funny : In Germany there are the same questions we never ask, even good friends or members of our own family. Only in very special and close relationships we dare to ask but with the feeling of overcoming. Although there are people who ask straight out. These are suggestive of being without distance to others or being inpolite/insensitive/rude. (Sorry for my rusty english. I'm working on it.)
Was about to say the same. It's exactly those same questions that Germans don't ask. The US is a little bit more open to talk about money, I'd say. Also, I've had Koreans ask me about my age since age is what defines "pecking order" in their society, I've been told.
I'm Russian and I've heard all of these from friends/relatives. One I hate most is "when are you going to have kids?" from close people. They just don't think that for some couples it's not that easy to get pregnant. And as a polite person I just can't answer in a rude manner to people I know... My wife cried a lot because of these questions.
What you don't do doesn't mean it can't be done by others. You don't even realize that the only thing you can't do is impose your rules on who, what and how to say! Everything is possible in a language!
About gain weight question, I think u can ask it in such situations like this, when u speak with some bodybuilder or sportsman's, who have low weight for their sport activities and they really want to gain weight, I mean muscle
These tough questions are very common during Chinese New Year. Especially when the elders meet the youngers and they don't know how to start a conversation, then they will ask these questions. These questions are really annoying.
Great...!!! .Great Sir... Cultural awareness is very important nowadays.Because ,it is personal awareness too. Thank you Sir... Love you and your lessons..! ❣️❣️🤗🤗🌺🌺🌺🌺😊😊❣️❣️❣️
You are totally right, since I moved to Canada, I realized how different the society is, comparing to a mexican culture, which has always bothered me how easily is to get asked about very personal questions. Something that I haven't had to face here 🇨🇦
Great video, Bob, thanks so much. All of your examples are considered rude and too curious in German culture as well, but it makes me wonder if there are cultures where this kind of private/personal questions are normal, even expected? Thanks again 🙋♀️
These questions are normal in Filipino culture and they can be brutally honest. It's disappointing for sure but growing up with that kind of environment makes you somehow immune to it. Sad indeed!
