    French people are similar to Germans in this regard: we're more direct, which seem as cold to other nationalities maybe. Of course there are other stereotype like punctual and so on (French are supposed to be more relaxed). Loic Suberville is really amazing!

      Pourtant je ne trouve pas les Français très directs. Plus direct que les Anglais oui et plus direct que nous les Suédois.. Mais généralement dans les cultures où on est plutôt indirect les gens ont plutôt tendance à parler entre amis ou collègues "dans le dos" de quelqu'un, par exemple si cette personne se comporte d'une façon qu'on n'aime pas. Je trouve que ca se fait souvent en France; ca depend des contextes et des personnes bien sûr. J'ai quand même l'impression que les Allemands sont bien plus directs que vous. :)

A good example is that when people from the UK/US mimic a 'Dutch' accent, they apply the same things to their English as I would do to my Dutch if I were mimicking an Amsterdam accent (like the lispy s).

    One thing about the 20/20 : it almost doesn't exist (in France). If it's a test with "binary" responses (it's right OR wrong) ok. But in a dissertation, for example where you can always pinpoint an error, forget about getting 20/20. The teacher's mindset here's is : there is always room for improvement, perfection doesn't exist, so no perfect score for you.

    In France, there are jobs where you don't take the regulatory break because you have too much work and you eat in less than 20 minutes. It is said in French law if you work 6 hours in a row you have the right to a minimum of 20 minutes break. Depending on where we work we only have 20 minutes or more. When I worked as a postwoman, I only took 5 minutes off and ate after work. Especially during the pandemic to deliver more and more packages.

La grande majorité des locuteurs natifs, ceux qui l'utilisent comme langue principale, environ 80 000 000 se trouve carrément en France. Les chiffres à l'extérieur sont beaucoup plus petits. Le français diminue en Afrique car les gens le rejettent comme langue coloniale, au profit des langues nationales ou un mélange; ou il est remplacé par l'anglais come langue de travail. Au Gabon par exemple, considéré comme un pays comptant un grand nombre de francophones, seuls 25 à 30% sont des locuteurs natifs, et ce n'est qu'une supposition!

      ​ @xenotypos I'm also from France, and what you're saying of course can happen. I personally never feel judged in such case. On the contrary, what some French people, like in this video, think that it's a thing: I'm used to live abroad and especially the countries around France. In all these countries, as almost everywhere else, it is unthinkable to say good morning in the evening, since mostly these languages use two distinct words, joined or separated: Guten Tag/Guten Abend, Good morning/good evening, Buenos días/buenas tardes, Buongiorno/buonasera, Goedendag/Goede avond. It is engraved in people's heads and nobody would make the mistake. In France on the other hand it is possible to say "bonjour" where it should be "bonsoir", some people will point it out to you, most often in a rather funny way in my experience, but very often people will not really pay attention, or will ignore it.
      This might be related to this very particular thing: In French for the same word you have the masculine and the female equivalents for "day" and "evening". The masculine version is used in the formal expression "bonjour"/"bonsoir", where "-jour" and "-soir" seem to be pretty abstract in my opinion, both words are like substantives: You can even say "Il te passe le bonjour" ("He says hello", "He gives you the hello" litterally translated).
      And then, like in the other languages I mentionned above, you have one expression with two distinct "living" words, this is the female version of both for the word "day" and "evening" that you normally use when you want to say and express gently goodbye in a nice way: "(Je vous souhaite) une bonne journée/une bonne soirée" (I wish you a) good day/a good evening". This distinction does not exist in these other languages to my knowledge, you only have "der Tag", "el día", "il giorno" etc.. Same with the word "year", l'an/l'année : Le "nouvel an" is an expression, almost a substantive, for "new year's day", but you use the female equivalent in case you wish expressely someone "une bonne année !" ("an happy new year!").

    Athalane is quite right in what she says about French and overall European mentality. With the exception of Britain, you'll feel this everywhere. Europeans scare away from an overwhemingly friendly attitude that we perveive as hipocrite ans insincere. In some places this rejection is stronger ( the Netherlands, Germany, Scandinavia ) and in others people stick more to guidelines of friendliness and courtesy ( Switzerland, France, Southern Europe ) but wherever you go, it will never be as overacted as in the USA. At least, we feel it as overacted.

      @elrevah Před rokem +2

      @@Arkayjiya It depends of course on what you mean by the word "Asian",. In the US/English-speaking area the categories are specific, and in other areas classifications can be different. For instance Turks aren't simply "Asian" to me, and very probably for most of the Turks as well: They belong either to both categories "Middle-Eastern" and "European", since the country has both european and middle-eastern geographical, historical, cultural and human heritages (and in a very prosaic way you often can't differentiate Turkish people from other (south) Europeans). That some Turcics peoples originating from Siberia happened to impose their language from the Middle-Ages until recently doesn't change to this situation (same as you couldn't say that island of Madagascar is Asian because the Malagasy language is related to the Malay language).This shows the difficulty of general categorizations imposed according to sometimes dubious criteria...
      In France or in most of European countries - as in the first (stupid) comment above I tried to answer - you often understand "Asian" as people from the Far East: Indochinese peninsula, China, Mongolia, Siberian natives, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Philipines, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc. Further you have the people of the pacific island, Austronesia, Polynesia, etc. The Near and Middle East often aren't understood as "Asian". The Indian subcontinent and its different political entities and states is understood as a geographical and human entity on its own with the terminology "South Asian". Why should we put the label 'Asians' on all these regions from Hawai, Papeete to Izmir or Beyrouth, and from Siberia to Yemen, Sri-Lanka or Tahiti?!
      So, according to this terminology and to be more precise, France has the largest East-Asian population in Europe, not to mention, to get back to your own understanding of the term "Asian", that France also has the second largest Turkish community outside of Turkey after Germany, and that it also has a pretty large community from the Indian subcontinent, from Sri Lankan, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Gujarati, Punjabi migrations. Not to forget Indo-Mauritians people (from Mauritius, an island historically and culturally very close to France) or Indo-Reunionese from and in the neighbouring island and French overseas department of La Réunion.
      Voila ;)
