Q1 An expert on American and French cultures* has observed that Americans tend to directly ask favors of their friends. In contrast, French people tend to indirectly hint DW D SUREOHP WKH\ DUH KDYLQJ DQG ZDLW IRU WKHLU IULHQGV WR R΍HU KHOS 'RHV WKDW PDWFK your personal experience? How do people do this in the culture you grew up in?

As a French person, I agree with the remark concerning the French. When I need help, I tend to just talk to my friends about my problems without asking for help directly, in order to avoid putting pressure on them.

I suppose that Americans are rather direct. Especially with people we are close to, we just say, "Hey, could you do me a favor?" or use some other casual expression. And it can be okay to say no to a request without suffering any lasting damage to the relationship.

Australians generally ask favors of others directly but politely. I have the feeling that hinting at a problem might be seen as slippery or even somehow dishonest , since it’s a culture which prides itself on straight, honest communication.

In Japan, my experience is that usually it is enough to describe your problem, and the other person will understand that you are asking for help. In that sense it is the complete opposite of Hungary. In Hungary, if you were to ask a favor simply by describing your situation, you would probably receive a response like "So?" or "I see."

Q2 In your culture, or the foriegn cultures you have lived in, how do people repay the social obligations that come with asking favors or receiving gifts?

5

In Japan, people keep track of social debt! This is a reason why people presents so often, even when they someone's home. Any sort of imposition must be compensated for. It's a "give and " society, as my wife often says. I guess people are very aware of this, and maybe that’s why they don’t often for favors.

I have the impression that Japanese people tend not to ask for help, probably because it makes them to the person who helped them. And I’m that many Japanese people I know faithfully give gifts in return for gifts, favors, or simply putting others out.

In Pakistan, people usually ask directly for favors. I think we tend to change our depending on what we’re asking for, and who we’re asking. In return, Pakistani people invite others for a at their home or a restaurant. Or if we go to someone’s house, we always take some fruit or . There is a strong of returning favors.

There is a Japanese expression that goes, "A small kindness can incur a big debt for others" (Chisa na shinsetsu ookina sewa). I don't want to make trouble for another person, so I don't want to just thoughtlessly offer my help, and end up burdening them. I only offer help after carefully observing the other person’s needs. I am also cautious of offers of help KWTR TYMJWX GJHFZXJ XTRJYNRJX YMJNW X^RUFYM^ NX TSQ^ XZUJWƳHNFQ

In Japanese, there are euphemistic phrases used to politely turn down an offer of help, which might not be perceived as refusals by people outside of the culture. For example, "I'll consider it", "That sounds OK.", or "That might be a good idea". I feel that this kind of language sometimes leads to misunderstandings when translated directly into English.
