Suppose you are a sophisticated and cultural girl, and, answering a call, do not yell in the tube "What a fuck?!" But in order to pass for the foreign korea formed from his foreign, this is not enough. In each country there is their own phishings and troubles about telephone conversations.
Germany
Herr / Frau name!
In Doychlande, they like clarity, clarity and ordnung in everything. Therefore, immediately it should be introduced - Guten Tag, Das East Frau Ivanova - and immediately turn on the case, because there are no Germans about anything. But they are obsessed with politeness, and where Russian will say "Tell me, please," the German is gouging the whole garden: "Be so kind, if it doesn't make it difficult, I will be very grateful if you tell me, which is an hour, thank you very much, Excuse for troubling". For the same reason, never call after 9 pm - and suddenly everyone is sleeping already, awkward will come out.
Great Britain
Hello!
Russians seem terribly rough to British, because they do not say "please" quite often. In the home of the punk, it is customary to stick "Please" literally after every request and even a simple sentence. "Do you drink coffee with me, please? Could you finally shut up, please? " As in Germany, they love the interlocutor to call his name at the very beginning of the conversation. And just do not bring out when someone simultaneously eats and flutter on the phone.
Italy
Put!
Italians are not a fool to chat on the phone and rarely hang on the pipe less than 10 minutes. If you just show information and hang the phone, you can take offense at you. And talk? And to discuss Grabuli health, weather, your breakfast and how yesterday Juventus played? Not in our opinion, not in Italian. The only place where calls and SMS-ki strictest taboos are a church.
France
Hello!
Only chams and foreigners respond to calls in transport or during lunch. Affairs business, and onion soup on schedule. The French speak the phone very quiet, so as not to disturb others, and they are waiting for the same. And do not be surprised if a personally familiar citizen will say "bizu" at the end of the conversation, that is, "kiss". This is the usual informal farewell formula.
USA
Hello!
In the telephone conversation, Americans do not like long entry and short farships. At the end of the conversation, creep a couple of minutes about this. Americans often complain that the Russians break the conversation on the half-word, as if the door clap. And one more thing: if the American says "come in somehow to visit" - this is not an invitation, but a simple reversion. Do not try to take and fall with a cake.
Japan
MOSI-MOS!
The Japanese are so closed on restraint and the rigor that even a pleasant conversation on the phone is considered something too personal. It's how to pove into the nose - surrounding, of course, they will destroy the reputation. Therefore, the Japanese write SMS-ki and invent all new and new emoticons. Many public places are generally prohibited to use mobile phones. Serious things are not solved here too, because you ask many questions, without seeing the face of the interlocutor, it is impolite.
China
Way!
"What does it mean" you can not talk? ". If the Chinese decided to chat with you, he will not stop neither before and it will be called until it is disconnected automatically. And after a minute call back. And so - 10 times. It is easier to immediately take the phone, even if you sit in the chair at the dentist or accept the proposal of your hand and hearts. SMS-ki here not in the go. Chinese can call you at 7 am, and at midnight, but calls from 12:00 to 14:00 - a terrible rudeness. People dine!
Turkey
Merhab!
Turks - people are slow and detailed, so the conversation can delay. At the same time, the first 10 minutes you will speak exclusively about things, to the case of not related. This is not a waste of time, but the almost ritual stage of any negotiations, which even has a name - "saves". And keep in mind that the greeting "villages!", Which seems to us very eastern and traditional, is actually extremely informal, something like our "hello" or "Salute", but the question "What do you do?" Does not imply a detailed answer - it is just a Turkish version "How are you?".
Egypt
Alo!
The Egyptians distribute their numbers to the right and left, and if the fellow traveler in the bus, with whom you crossed the pair of phrases, will give you your number - this is normal. In Egypt, as in Turkey, the local speak long and loudly, somewhat exaggerating their interest and sympathy for the interlocutor.
