now you might be familiar with our usual weekly show this is a brand new extended version that's right judy we're gonna take you behind the scenes and explore a particularity in france and today we're going to focus. on french etiquette because it's fascinating genie there's this a reputation that french people and in particular for reasons are very rude but the truth of the matter is they're obsessed with etiquette and behaving the right way said well the- there's a- right way to behave the french way. and a wrong way to about every other week now in a perfect differential world there is a set of. rules that governs even the most mundane things from talking on the telephone to how to behave in public transportation in him hint you shouldn't speak too loudly and same goes for a restaurant. of course when it comes to greeting people the french. reticular france will be an off course. first of all it depends on the time of the day anytime before six pm you say. and after six pm. disable swap will

swap also now thahat might sound incredibly easy but it's not it's actually quite tricky and if it weren't though it wouldn't be any fun an important thing to remember is you have to say bortles whenever you interact with anybody especially in a shop or in a cafe. you can't just say excuse me you have to say- rule or the person might get offended and seriously ignore you. yeah things can get tricky when several people w were involved like in an elevator when you walk into an elevator you have to sayy hello to everyone or people willl secretly judge. a special word for it. when you're asking for directions make sure you make the effort to say bulls ruled in french first don't just start speaking english like. where's the eiffel tower. what you see this sounds like nails on a a chalkboard for french

people because you're in france but you're not even making the effort to speak french you see bushel is the one magic word you need to learn when you come to france. and it might justt be the way infringe people's hearts. saying bonjour is a trick that really works and if you had- on glay it's even better now that is a tip that i gave to my own mother. and she came back from france saying how nice everybody was do be ready for french people to call you out if you don't say bulls of a angie this happened to me. just last year i almost got hit by a car- and driver interrupted my dealing which was. titled to do to save well to meet with actually teach me a lesson now. in italy i to tripe rule these invisible lines but if you do you kind of upset a natural balance and therefore

can be treated through some of that trademark french rudeness that often accompanied with a lesson in politeness whether or not french people are real etiquette experts is still up for debate but one thing's for sure they certainly invented. the war and advocate award do you. time to explore the origin of the english word etiquette. where does it come from. the french word it gets is commonly used for a tag that's attached to an object to the case something about it for example its price. comes from the old french get a word for labeled ticket. so how did it come to me in the conventional requirements of social behavior. linguists believe it happened at the french royal court small cars were written with instructions for how to conduct oneself properly. another explanation is s at d directions for behahavior were written for soldiers arriving in temporary lodging. it eventually made its way to english in the seventeen

fifties but with a brand new meaning. what's interesting i is that the modern french word it's a cat is used to designate a label but in many ways that's exactly what a kid is it's a label that says that you're educated it says that you're cultivated in these are things.. that are held in high esteem in france and therefore worthy of respect and politeness france's obsession with good behavior is centuries old but it's a story of manners is somewhat uneven it certainly is no one had okay that's what the kid was in its prime. time and some ducks in court were terrible of ridicule and therefore eager to help polite each other but- what is. it what about it. all of that changed course with french. everything with the french the republican passion for quality trumped the rules of gentility now in the nineteenth century etiquette made somewhat of a comeback with the rise of the bourgeoisie but that all came down crashing yet again- just after the first world war these days a majority of french

people say that first i think it is very important and something i actually want to teach the childldren this is called the all important yeah. they well bred crap well that's a french children can be in public like in restaurants right here in the beautiful kathy to come ask where we are now and that brings us to another mine field for non french people table manners and as we sayy in frenchch at the e. now jeannie there are some universal rules like you don't put your elbows on the table you don't chew with your mouth open you don't pick your teeth you don't. push your food with your hands. but there are somome french particularly and you got some extxtra dinner party advice take a look. i've been invited to a friend's dinner party and i'm really worried i'm gonna make a full class so i've asked matt he did see a friend etiquette expert to give me some tips money thank you so much. for helping me out today. you're listening to. what time should i arrive. at a french
