Dear Linda,
How have you been?
Today I read something about different ways of greetings in different countries.Now I'd like to tell you the way we Chinese greet each other.In China it is rude to call someone by their first name unless you've known them since childhood.In work-related situations people address each other by their title; in social situations "Mr.," Mrs.," and "Miss" are used; at home people often refer to each other by nicknames or terms of kinship.Remember,in China,the family name is first.
Terms of kinship are often used for close non-relatives.A younger man often calls a man who is five years older than him "big brother" and someone who is considerably older "uncle." Chinese often address their friends as juniors and seniors even if they are just a few months younger or older.When a Chinese person asks someone their age they often do this so they know how to address the person.
Chinese sometimes don't smile or exchange greeting with strangers.Smiling or being friendly to someone you don't know well is sometimes considered rude and too familiar.
When saying goodby it is considered appropriate to give a quick bow or nod to everyone present and go.The Chinese are not big on drawn out goodbyes.After finishing a meal,they often get up,thank each other,say goodbye and leave abruptly.When the Chinese say farewell after a visit or journey together,they simply go; there is "no lingering,no swapping of addresses,no reminiscences,nothing sentimental."
Please tell me more about how Americans greeting customs.
Write to me soon.
Yours,
