  • I was taught 'Just because one can doesn't mean one should?' Directness is like a sharp knife that can cut both ways. Showing restraint can be a beneficial social skill as I am pretty sure when a Dutch person is on the receiving end of directness, it is not always well received.

  • I'm British and my partner is Dutch and we're forever running into cultural differences that stem from politeness. In Britain I think we phrase things in ways that are - to our fellow Brits - open and considerate that to the Dutch seem over-embellished and wishy-washy. I'm a big fan to Dutch directness myself but even I find myself sometimes feeling affronted by something she says which cuts in ways I know she didn't intend. It was interesting to hear this perspective from the Dutch! Of course these interviewees were unlikely to consider themselves impolite people but notable by it's absence was an interviewee saying something about considering the feelings of the people they're talking to.

    • On the other hand I find it noteworthy that the Brits will take the piss or tease without inhibition but then if (as a Dutch person ) you say something direct in convo, they get a bit shocked. When it wasn’t meant to be cutting. I guess to the Dutch too much embellishing can also seem rude or distancing and unfriendly, while directness for the British also unfriendly in turn .

  • I think it's a strange mix in NL for an english person, I find Dutch people both very respectful and very blunt, of course the directness is considered a virtue in NL, some other countries prize peoples ability to make their points in as vague a way as possible (Ireland for example)

  • It is interesting that everyone considers himself a very polite person, but for me, politeness is not only about "thanks" and "hello'" but also how you talk about other people. For example, saying about all Americans that they are faking politeness sounds a bit rude to me. But this shows the culture very well (I mean its directness)!:)

    @arinakuznetsova1883@arinakuznetsova188310 ай бұрын

    • Yep. This is a typical attitude of people brought up in very blunt cultures. They tend to view even reasonable levels of politeness as "fake."

      @ihsahnakerfeldt9280@ihsahnakerfeldt92809 ай бұрын

    • I think it's a matter of perspective. There's a certain cultural setup in less direct cultures like the US, especially in places like the South, where people act nice in front of you, but if they don't like you they talk crap about you behind your back. There's a certain cultural setup in direct cultures like the Netherlands, where you know how people stand - if they like you, you'll know; if they don't like you, you'll know that as well. They'll tell you. People tend to prefer the setup in the culture they grew up in, and think their setup is "more polite" than the other one. There's a question of, would you rather be gossiped about behind your back, or be told up front that something you did is terrible? Not everyone will choose the same option. A Dutch person might find it strange that a gossip-filled culture could be considered "polite".

  • Stil zijn aan tafel? Dat is toch juist het moment dat je de dag kan bespreken en een moment hebt met heel het gezin samen?

    @darkdaxter5190@darkdaxter519010 ай бұрын

    • Maar ontbijt, lunch, diner en andere vormen van avondeten zijn ook typische activiteiten die je aan tafel verricht. Ieder een vorm van eten en als je eet stop je voedsel in je mond om evt. te kauwen en daarna door te slikken. Met voedsel in je mond kun je echter beter niet praten want dan ga je voedsel uitspugen, dat is onhygiënisch en/of voedselverspilling, en het belemmert ook het goed vormen van de klanken van de woorden die je wilt uitspreken, dus word je minder goed verstaan. En je publiek aan tafel is allicht ook aan het eten en heeft daardoor minder aandacht voor je uitspraken. Het is dus niet zo vreemd dat praten met voedsel in je mond als een soort van verkeerd gedrag wordt gezien.

  • In NL at a meal table, as soon as a person gets his food starts eating without waiting for everybody getting their own plate.. that is considered rude almost everywhere in the world; a Dutch friend told me that it's like this so the meal doesn't get cold.. to me it's selfishness and childishness in disguise, like "directness", as an adult in a society behaviour in public should have a limit t show respect to the other people.

  • 0:58 Een hand geven als je elkaar ontmoet. Een boks geven is veel gewoner dan een hand geven sinds de coronacrisis/anderhalvemetersamenleving, denk ik. Of toch niet? In het Engels is dat *shaking hands* , trouwens. "Giving a hand" heeft een heel andere betekenis: (iemand) een handje *helpen* of een (groot) *applaus* geven. Tricky.

  • Spot on about the fakeness in the US. With my Dutch friends and family I always know where I stand, with people from the US you never know if they're speaking negatively about you as soon as you turn around. If someone is angry in the Netherlands they express it and move on, but in the US people actually break off friendships or ghost you!

    • This is a typically idealized portrayal of blunt cultures as opposed to ones where more value is placed on friendliness and politeness. I would bet Dutch culture has more than its fair share of ghosting and speaking about others behind their back.

  • What is it with the sunglasses?! Is it really so non polite?! I do need glasses all the way, I have -5 diopters. When it is sunny outside, and i entering i.e. a shop, i usually do not have my normal glasses with me. When I would take the sunglasses off then, you would see me walking „blind“ through the shop, maybe do not recognizing other one‘s carts and so on, with my nose 20cm away from the shelf for reading the price tag.
