    I am Italian but I know very well English mentality, and their way of living, as I lived overseas for many years, mainly in English speaking countries. Also I lived in London for 5 yrs. Well I must say that my Best friend for a life time was an English guy. In the beginning he was very distant and not very friendly but, after 1/2 years, we became so close that for me he was like part of the family, as much as I was part of his. He passed away in a tragic circumstance but trust me when I say that when my father died, I didn't cry as much as I did for my beloved Friend's sudden death.
    I love England I would give up my right arm to retire up there in Dorset.

    A cultural difference. Banter is such a big thing in Britain, and yet not fully understood by some 🇮🇹. In my opinion of keen observer who lived in England, banter is a way of accepting people into a social group, whether it be friends or peers at work. Normally the 🇬🇧 are from polite to over polite to strangers, but when the banter begins, usually when you get a nickname, be sure you moved from simple acquaintance to friend. The reason must be due to the self-deprecating humour (banting back is fine and well accepted), as well as a way to check your personality by your reaction. Btw, my nickname at work was Mr. RP. Why? Because, in order to be more accepted and totally adapted in a new enviroment, I used to stick to the received pronunciation I had forced myself to learn and practice for months on end as a student before getting the job, with awkward results.
    A foreigner who speaks unnaturally posh, in connected speech, and uses subjunctive forms when not strictly necessary😂. Eventually I got what I expected. Like, "Mr. RP, get some work done today, will you? No Italian two-hour lunch break, d'ya understand me, mate?"😂🇬🇧👏

    • @EasyEnglishVideos
      @EasyEnglishVideos  2 роки тому +7

      Hahaha a brilliantly written definition and a funny example… thank you! It seems counterintuitive, but a Brit acquaintance making fun of you is usually a good sign, that you’re making friends with them and that they feel comfortable with you. I feel it also helps to keep you grounded; you’ll notice a lot of big British celebs are usually quite down to earth as their mates would never let them get too big for their boots I imagine 😆

    • @floatingsara
      @floatingsara 2 роки тому +6

      Very interesting. I don't think there is a rule in Italy except perhaps for the Romans (=people from Rome). I come from Venice and I noticed Romans almost ALWAYS give a nickname when they barely know the person, usually on the ground of what one looks like or what s/he does within the first 24 hours of acquaintance that catches their imagination. As a high-school student I went to summer holiday with some Roman students and they came up with :
      . "the legionary soldier" : a guy of the group who wore a hat with white extensions
      . "Grisoo the dragon" : a guy of the group who had a very long-shaped face
      . "Duracell" : a girl of the group who had danced the whole night
      . ... I'm sure I'll remember another couple or so
      If you read Zero Calcare, a very famous cartoonist, you'll see his friends usually have nicknames such as "il cinghiale" (the wild boar) or "Secco" (Dry).

      That's very true that they don't understand our banter, I have been to Italy quite a few times and have been mistaken for being Italian quite a few times and one asked me why do you look Italian and I jokingly said it might be from when the Romans took us over and an English guy overheard me say it and laughed and the Italian guy looked quite embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
      I felt sorry for him and changed the subject quick and said how much I love Italy and visit every year.
