Hungary is a beautiful, welcoming country with the same welcoming people. The indigenous people carefully preserve and honor their centuries-old traditions, while they are prone to constant self-development. The breadth of their horizons allows them to communicate freely on any topic. But the favorite are the conversations about the famous Hungarian cuisine and about the family.
Communicative contact
To build trust, it is worth showing the Hungarian photographs of people close to you, and he will immediately show you his own - this is a national feature. Love for the family and respect for the home is passed down from generation to generation. Tourists should avoid asking locals about work, health or marital status. But most of all, Hungarians do not like to be spoken to in Slavic languages or compared with the Slavs. Acceptable foreign languages are German and English.
There is an opinion among tourists that the Hungarians often ignore them. The clue to such ill-will is hidden behind the unacceptable, from the point of view of the local population, manner of communication of foreigners, in particular this applies to temperamental Russians and Americans, who are inclined to openly express negative emotions and speak in a raised voice.
Ceremonial
Hungarians are lovers of ceremony (and titles), quiet intimate conversations and strict subordination. All this is reflected in their manner of greeting each other. In Hungary, everyone greets everyone everywhere, it is enough just to meet the eyes of a stranger. Different phrases are used for different times of the day:
"Yo reggelt kivanok" - I wish you a good morning, "Yo eshtyt kivanok" - I wish you a good evening.
Each age or social category of citizens has its own special forms of address and greeting. It would be impolite to throw the only "yo on a kyvanok" - "I wish you a good day" to the oncoming group of people.
If they are friends, the men exchange a firm, single handshake. Women shake hands gently and for a long time, often ending with three times applying to the cheeks, imitating kissing. However, the boss will never shake hands with a subordinate. When greeting a familiar family, you need to address everyone personally. To ladies and men of a higher rank: "tistelem" - "my respect", or "kezyt chokolom" - "kiss your hands", if appropriate.
Girls are addressed with “üdvözlöm” - “welcome”, children and adolescents - “servus” - “hello”. And in order of importance for each family member.
Familiar adults or friends use a short form of greeting: "sia" - "hello", appropriate when meeting and saying goodbye. English Helló is often heard among young people. Girls use the Italian "ciao" and its derivatives "cha", "sioka", "sio", "chuvi" - the prototypes of "smack". Guys - "seva" (short for "hello"), which means "hello dude" or "haver" - "hello dude."
