Indian customs: words of appreciation
Indians don't say "Thank you" or "You're welcome" in the usual course of daily life. In many other counries, people frequently and sometimes elaborately say 'thank you' and 'you're welcome' under all sorts of social circumstances. When discussing these places and customs with Indian students, student frequently ask what the phrase 'you're welcome' means. These Indian students are so unfamiliar with and unaccustomed to the use of these verbal expressions that they seemingly are unaware there is a common, polite reply when someone says 'thank you.' Under no circumstances should this be taken as a sign that Indians are rude or impolite. It is merely a different way of expressing things socially. |
