  • In Mexico and Spanish-speaking countries, polite dialogues play a significant role in daily interactions. Politeness is deeply rooted in Mexican culture, where showing respect and consideration for others is highly valued. In this lesson we’re exploring what you need to come across as polite in Spanish.

    I don’t know any country where it wouldn’t be appropriate or appreciated being polite! That’s exactly what anybody should learn at the very beginning - even in their mother tongue 😝 por favor, gracias, permiso y buen día/buenas tardes/buenas noches are door opener in ANY language. In Mexico I learned pretty fast that really not every Mexican would be polite but often showing bad manners (like in any country I visited btw). Calling a service person “joven” sounds very rude to me especially when addressing an obviously older employee 🙄

  • @srbaruchi
    @srbaruchi Před 11 měsíci +1

    Excellent refresher on these essentials, Pau! Algunos puntos:
    1) If you are welcoming a friend, wouldn't it be, "Pasate"?
    2) "Ayudarlo (usted)" is more correct than "ayudarle" ... si o no?
    3) Is just "Permiso" an acceptable abbreviation of "Con permiso"?
    4) How common is just "Buenas" as an anytime saludo? I use this with Latino obreros (it's shorter, and I don't have to think about the time of day), but they usually respond with a full "Buenos dias" or "Buenas tardes."
    Mil Gracias

      @rickricarditoreiter9796 Před 4 měsíci +1

      It is very common to say "pásale" even with a friend (even though, technically, it should be "te"). "Ayudarle" is correct because you are helping "to" him or her. "Permiso" is OK. "Buenas" is OK, but the other person usually responds with the full phrase.

    6:58 Señora or Señorita?
    Here's a native Pro tip. If you are unsure of whether the woman is married or not, or you want to sidestep the question altogether, just call the person, "seño" which covers both bases. "Disculpe, seño, a qué hora cierran?". This is informal polite, but not to be used in formal occasions.
    Note the distinción between polite speech and formal speech. They are not one and the same.
    8:37 I would say it in the present tense instead, "No entiendo. Explíquemelo otra vez, por favor"
    10:12 Faltó el "por favor" cada vez. Y talvez también el trato en Ud. en vez del tuteo.
