🌸 10 Etiquette Rules 🌸
1. When addressing someone for the first time, always use their full name.
2. Let the woman to extend her hand for handshake first.
3. Prior to making a phone call, text or message to set the time for the call.
4. If you are at someone’s office, wait for them to invite you to get seated.
5. When introducing men and women, make sure to introduce the man to the woman.
6. When you walk into the room, greet people.
7. Be on time. 15 minutes is the time limit within which being late is considered appropriate.
8. Stand on the right side and walk on the left side: be it the stairs or elevators.
9. Hold the door for the person behind you.
10. Say “thank you”. Distinguish between “I am sorry” and “excuse me”.
Thanks !
I would like to add to the door holding to thank people who hold the door for you. I’ve had many situations where people would simply look at me or barely acknowledge me when I held the door for them!
This is easy to solve. You walk after them and gently tap them on the shoulder. Once they turn around you give them a straight right knuckle to the face. They will fall to the ground and take a short nap. Walk away but before you go don't forget to say "Thank you" for being able to smash their face. All the best xoxo
@@BlackJezuz69 at first I thought you had an actual solution 😂

Hahahahaha hahahahaha hahha I thought so too.

I think “excuse me” after you step on someone’s toes would sound super rude. Maybe it’s living so close to Canada but “I’m so sorry” would definitely be appropriate here.
I agree. As a Canadian, if I step on someone's toes I am definitely saying "I am so sorry!" Because such an action could cause pain. If someone was perhaps lost in thought and blocking an aisle or whatnot, I would use "excuse me" (politely) to let them know I am behind them and will passing soon.
But bumping into people, accidentally coming into their space, accidentally stepping on their toes...I agree: ideally express that you are sorry. Because you know you could have startled them or hurt them.
Indeed. If the bus lurched around a corner and I lost my balance, stepping on your toe, and I said 'excuse me' to me that implies that you got into my way, even though you aren't at fault. This can come across as rude. Saying 'Oh, I'm sorry' is sufficient because the person you are apologising to knows what you are apologising for meaning they don't need you to give a reason. Alternatively, if you said 'pardon me' you are acknowledging that you are at fault and are trying to make amends.
She speaks russian, and from russian to english both Excuse me and I'm sorry translates the same, hence the confusion
Agree! We don’t do that in the U.K. we say I’m sorry
I would like to add a full greeting to people like cashiers or bakers and wish them a nice day after you receive everything. I often see people only asking for goods without saying "hello", "thank you" or "have a nice day".
Etiquette rules vary across cultures and contexts, but there are some fundamental guidelines that can help individuals navigate social situations with grace and respect. Here are some general etiquette rules that many people find helpful:
1. **Respect Personal Space:** Maintain an appropriate physical distance when interacting with others. In most cultures, a comfortable distance is around arm's length.
2. **Greeting:** When meeting someone, offer a friendly greeting, such as a handshake, a nod, or a smile. Use appropriate titles and names unless you're given permission to use a more informal form of address.
3. **Punctuality:** Be on time for appointments, meetings, and events. Being consistently late can be seen as disrespectful of others' time.
4. **Dress Appropriately:** Dress in a manner that is suitable for the occasion. When in doubt, it's usually better to be slightly overdressed than underdressed.
5. **Table Manners:** When dining, follow basic table manners, like chewing with your mouth closed, not talking with food in your mouth, and using utensils properly. Wait for everyone to be served before beginning to eat.
6. **Listening Skills:** Practice active listening when engaged in conversation. This means giving the speaker your full attention, not interrupting, and showing interest in what they're saying.
7. **Cell Phone Usage:** In social settings or during meetings, avoid using your cell phone unless it's necessary. If you need to take a call, excuse yourself politely.
8. **Thank You Notes:** Sending thank-you notes or messages after receiving gifts, attending events, or being helped by someone is a thoughtful way to express gratitude.
9. **Respecting Elders and Authority:** Show respect to elders, authority figures, and those in positions of responsibility. Use appropriate titles and show deference when appropriate.
10. **Apologizing and Forgiving:** If you make a mistake, apologize sincerely. If someone apologizes to you, be willing to forgive and move on.
11. **Hold Doors:** When entering or leaving a building, hold the door open for others if they're right behind you.
12. **Cultural Sensitivity:** Be aware of and respectful towards cultural differences. Avoid making insensitive comments or assumptions about someone's background.
13. **Eye Contact:** Maintain appropriate eye contact during conversations. It shows interest and engagement, but excessive staring can be uncomfortable.
14. **Interrupting:** Avoid interrupting people while they're speaking. Wait for a natural pause in the conversation to contribute your thoughts.
15. **Public Spaces:** Be mindful of your surroundings in public spaces. Keep noise levels down in quiet places and be considerate of others using shared facilities.
16. **Saying "Please" and "Thank You":** Use polite language like "please" when making requests and "thank you" to express gratitude.
17. **Respecting Privacy:** Respect others' privacy, whether it's refraining from prying into personal matters or not sharing someone's private information without permission.
18. **Hand Hygiene:** Practice good hand hygiene, especially before and after meals and after using the restroom. This is especially important in preventing the spread of illnesses.
19. **Gift Giving:** When giving gifts, consider the recipient's preferences and cultural norms. It's the thought that counts, so choose something meaningful and appropriate.
20. **Exiting Conversations:** If you need to leave a conversation or a social event, do so politely by excusing yourself and offering a reason if necessary.
Remember that etiquette is all about treating others with kindness, respect, and consideration. Adapting these guidelines to specific situations and cultures will help you navigate social interactions effectively.
Thank you. Very helpful. I'm printing this off for a cheat sheet.
Thank u so much for these info! ❤
😊
Thank you for these etiquette rules that used to be common sense when I was a child (I am 62 now). I thought I was the only person who says “excuse me”.
a lot of them are still common sense. I'm 24 and was raised with manners. I was shocked to find out that other people my age don't behave the same way.
One thing I picked up from your older videos that I really liked on the point of "I'm sorry" was reframing it (esp as women who may sometimes have a habit of overapologizing) and saying "Thank you for waiting for me," so it's less blameworthy and more appreciative. I feel more confident having implemented this and I have noticed people on the receiving end are also more receptive to this appreciative tone in how the react/interact with me. Wonderful video as always! Thanks a million
You are very welcome 🙏🏻
I agree. I like to say, "Thank you for being patient with me"
Hi Jamila! Thank you so much! One video suggestion I have is airplane travel etiquette. I find it difficult to navigate flying/traveling gracefully.
Thank you for the video! All rules are truly helpful but I have to give extra attention to rule #9: regardless of gender hold the door for the person behind you! I can't count how many times people just left the door to shut on my face and it's really rude and infuriating, the worst part is that I have never done that to anyone! Please, just hold the door!
Glad you include #3
I always considered sudden calls from non-family and non-friends as rude. I thought it would be more polite if you texted or sent email beforehand. Then when it is done, and let's say they don't reply back after a few days let's say, if it is such an urgent matter, then you can call and explain that you've texted/E-mailed them before but they didn't reply. Then stated the urgent matter.
I agree
In certain countries, normally those with right-hand-drive vehicles, the norm is to stand on the left hand side of the escalator, and walk on the right hand side. The opposite 😊
I had no idea. Do you know what countries are on the left?
@@ravenrosewitches UK and Ireland are driving on the left side of the road.
Maybe even Australia, but not sure about them
@@elanebula7080 yes even Australia, but it’s only really seen in Sydney and Melbourne (the bigger cities). Smaller cities don’t seem to understand this rule yet lol (I live in Brisbane and escalator etiquette is rarely followed sadly)
@@elanebula7080 and New Zealand
I love the aesthetics and editing of this video so much. It’s super relaxing to watch ❤
You always look good, but you look particularly beautiful in this video. I think the colour beige really suits you 👌
Hello Jamila, you are so elegant and my mentor. Thank you for your lessons. I love you!
I have some degree of social anxiety and this sort of feels like a "cheat sheet" and something I can count on to ease day to day social interactions with people. Very helpful. :)
Thank you for this educational video Jamila!
Here is my video idea: Practical parenting tips. I know you've done a parenting video in the past but I would love to hear more about it, like -how do your kids learn foreign languages? Do they go to a class or do they learn from you? Is it possible to teach them etiquette at a young age, are they interested in that?
I feel like kids nowadays lack basic manners, like greeting others, saying please or thank you. I would love to teach my children well when the time comes and your tips would help a lot. Hopefully there are a lot of viewers who would love to hear your tips as well. :)
You are such an inspiration and one of the most poised and graceful person I have seen on the Internet.
Continue the good work.❤❤
Etiquette rule numbers 8 and 9 really resonated with me. As a New Yorker who uses the subway/metro in her daily life, it irks me when you have that one person that decides to stand on the left, or they take up too much space by not standing to the right enough, or they don’t switch back to the right (if they get a chance) as they walk so that people who walk faster than them can pass. Also, it happens often to me where the person in front of me does not look behind them to see if there’s anyone, so they just end up closing the door on me instead of holding it open. Thank you for this video, Jamila. Hopefully many people will watch it and apply these rules to their daily lives.
Thank you! 🙏🏻☺️
Hi Jamila,
Black shoes would have complimented this outfit 100x better. This would draw attention to your face. Lovely video :)
Your content is really amazing. Little things that I really don't pay attention to are actually things that will tell on me. Thank you so much for enlightening me. 🥰🥰🥰
Dear Jamila, I would like to thank you, I really appreciate this kind of videos, they are useful and interesting, you are always so elegant and graceful, I look forward to your "next life lesson" online. Greetings from Italy
Hello,Good to have you! It’s a really good initiative to equip us with appropriate social code of conduct. A mind blowing skills& rules being interpretated by you is phenomenal. Hats off to you & keep going ahead.
Thank you!
Such good advice and elegant as always. Bless you.
Really enjoyed this video! Especially appreciate the note about escalators. It drives me crazy when people stand in the center!
I am trying to become more feminine and improve my manners. I’d love to see a video on how to walk and how to “hold” one’s self. Another thing I don’t see much about is voice control. It doesn’t come naturally to me as I was raised in a “rowdy” home with 5 brothers. I love them but sometimes I wish it would have been genteel.
I believe she has covered some one this in a another video but I would love more info on voice, projecting your voice or the opposite and holding back, it would be really interesting
Hello there, Check out Anna bey's videos over elegance. Hope it helps you.
What Ana Bey videos. She is funny and a bit over board but is ok. 😅😊
@@GH-hr5xc thanks I will
Thank you so so so so so much dear Jamila for this video because its truly truly truly important for me and I love your videos so so so much and I wish you reach 700K Subscribers very very soon!✨☺️🌸💕
Sincerely thank you. Much appreciated and loved from Vietnam 💐
Received your books last week in the USA! Well done.
Love this,
Please note about standing on right hand side vs left hand side: In asian countries, you pass on the right hand side, so being culturally aware of these differences. In western countries, passing is on the left hand, in asian (and other misc territories) passing is on the right hand side!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this, another excellent video 🙏
Delicate colour pallete! It suggests a peaceful environment!

Thanks Jamila 🤍
You are welcome
Excellent
You would think that these would be common sense but unfortunately they seem to have stopped being a while ago. I am not sure what changed... Great on you for pointing these things out and spreading the word in order to make the world a more comfortable place to live in. One of my biggest pet peeves is the point about the escalator. 😅 I always wonder how the people standing on the left side don't seem to notice that everyone else is standing on the opposite side... they are even usually constantly being asked to excuse the ones walking up and they do not seem to get a clue.
Dear Jamila, your videos are good source of learning. My best wishes to you. I also have a request, if the volume of your videos could be set louder. It sometimes becomes impossible at my school to hear you even on 100% volume with day time activities in the background. You don't have to speak loud. Just set the volume louder for your audience. That's where technology comes in handy :) Take care.
I could not agree more.
Thank you, Jamila.
P.S You look particularly lovely today.
You have such a calm and beautiful voice
Thank you!
I love your reminder for us about etiquette it reminds me of my mother and i like you, only I can't keep little bit sleepy to your voice everytime I'm going to watch your video specially at night its the reason I can't finish your video often
😂😂
love the video as always. and love your out fit lt looks so good on you though, it's kind of a warm color and your under tone is cool as I remember you mentioned that in earlier video..
I agree her outfit compliment her look. You are right she have cool under tone. Have a nice day Sue.
@@Carmen0777 Same to you Carmen. So sweet of you to reply. Thanks.
Great video, Jamila
Thanks
That's was very useful to me . Thank you Madam.Jamila Musayeva
You are welcome
Am I the only one who thinks that there is a problem in sound of this video.. 😣I need a earphone to listen the voice clearly..Bdw, nice video..I appreciate your time and effort. Love from India💕😘
I very proud of you my dear douther 👸💯🧿❤️😘👍✌️💪💰
Your video content are always rare, beautiful and informative. And your are lovely personality. Love to watch your videos.
Thank you very much ☺️
Thank you! Makes me feel proud of myself when I already do some of these!
I’ve notice that accomplish with most of the rules, except the number 8 since I don’t travel that much and I didn’t knew about that one
I love your videos. 💙🌞👍💞
I love ❣️❣️ self development 😁
In Australia, we drive on the left hand side of the road. As such, on an escalator you stand on the left hand side and walk in the 'fast lane' on the right hand side. I assume this is the same in other LHS driving countries and the exact opposite in RHS countries.
Thank you❣
Welcome 🙏🏻
you have microphone but im feeling like your whispering hehe
😂
The escalator one is lit
And really no one follows it
I'm singing excuse me all the time while ascending, and they think that I AM being rude.
Hello Jamila, can you please let me know what brand outfit you're wearing in this video and also brand of shoes? I love it so much! Thanks
This is very informative. ❤
Glad you think so!
I may have missed where you touched on who extends a handshake first in a professional setting. where I live, it is always the lower ranking person who should extend a hand, as it's a sign of respect. I don't think I have ever had a hand extended to me from a higher ranking position.
I feel very uneasy with using the short names people sign their emails with. Unless I'm asked to do so, I always call people by their full names. I must look very stuck up, but I can't help it. I was told however that for Russian "short names" such as Sonia for Sophia or Sacha for Alexander, I should always use the short name.
In Japan, the escalator varies from city to city. In Tokyo, people stand on the right hand side and in Osaka, we are required to keep left. At least it's indicated but it's nonetheless confusing.
I would not feel uneasy as it shows respect especially if it is to a people of superior status or a man to a lady - By all means use short names if the person then invites you to call them by a shortened name
Informative. Apparently few are taught or have really good manners. Doors often are not held and slams into you. Thank you.
You are welcome
Hello J, i really love your etiquettes and i would really love if you could make a video of how to Walk in heels..
LOVE FROM NIGERIA 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🥰🥰🥰
She has one already :)
Great video! Yet, there’s a point you’ve mentioned in multiple videos that I disagree with. Explaining why you cannot make it to an events. No, thanks it’s a full sentence. We dont have to justify ourselves for declining an invitation
Love your videos! I just think your microphone was a little hard to hear on this video.
It's the other way round for the stairs and escalators in Malaysia. We stand on the left side, and the people who want to walk up walk on the right side. Do you think it's because we drive on the left side? I never thought it might be different rules in other countries.
Thank you
welcome
Jamila, where is your outfit from? Its beautiful
Hi, Jamila!! How are you? I would love if you could do a video on tips to have more friends and have stronger friendships. Thank you very much!
Why new more friends? Better quality over quantity ☺️
Please make a video on how to dress up for a conference, where you have to give a presentation.
6:55 clear explanation of who gets introduced to whom.
Greetings from 🇦🇿
When we say punctuality is different from culture to culture, group to group, etc... it would be great to have a video on most common types, for example whichever you know about for sure (French? Middle East ?...) Or, where can we find accurate information in this? So many different opinions and infos around
Etiquette is a lost art. I have said excuse me at the grocery store and people still don’t move. I’ve also been at the department store and a woman who hasn’t said excuse me is on top of me trying to reach in front of me. It’s the wild Wild West out there. What’s the etiquette for people who don’t have etiquette like how do you manage people that weren’t brought up right?
We have to bring it back to fashion ☺️
Jamila, duso moja kako doci kod tebe,poljubac, Radomir Eric, Beograd, Srbija.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Jamila I have beem watching your videos for some time now. Does this video have some kind of audio trouble? Usually, you speak softly, we know this but it is as if the audio is really low on this particular video.
❤❤❤
ربنا يرزقك ويهديك ويعطيكي
Sorry for bothering.
I hope you are doing well
I need your advice
I work as an assistant in one Educational center. In some cases when it comes to greeting with students I embrace them or I just shake their hands.
What do you think how girls who are about 16 or above should do greeting??
Thank you so much for such useful videos
And thanks for the answer beforehand
What if they haven't seen your message and you really need to call them ?
