1. How do you greet members of your family? (mother, father, older brother, younger brother, grandparents, etc)
My family is 5 people, but now, I live my house with my father and mother.
I always say "Ohayou, (Good morning) my mom or dad" when I wake up and meet them for first day.
I also say "Ohayou"to my brothers.
2. How do you greet people that are important in society?
If you do not do greeting, it cannot start communication, I think.
It is also beneath ordinaly decency.
Greeting is the lowest etiquette, isn't it?
3. Do you greet people from the opposite sex in a different way?
No, I do not do from the opposite sex in a diffarent way.
But I will do opposite way when I talk to older people.
I ues honorific words for older person.
I do not think greeting is not relation among sex.
4. Do you hug anyone? If yes, who and when. If no, why not?
Yes, I will hag for my friend or people who close to me.
I often do hagging when I meet them for long time.
But I will do hag every time when I meet my best friend.
In Japan, we do not have costom of hagging.
We will do hag among young people.(especially girl)
Hi,
返信削除I do not hug people in Japan, so your opinion is interesting for me.
And I also do not shake hands people when I see people. There are no custom like these in Japan.
