Your right Bob.... There's something that we shouldn't ask to other people

Your pronunciation is pretty clear ane easy to understand, Thank you for the video✨

your lessons are the best!!!!

Again .. in india 🇮🇳 this is normal thing to ask

When I came to Canada 25 years ago I didn’t understand these rules. In my country it is very common to talk about those things.

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.

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.😁

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 !

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!!

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. 😎🌼🐦

good lesson

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.
