The Meaning of Mexican Politeness

There’s one thing Mexicans are famous for: their politeness. For some, it might even be too much and seen as a legacy of colonization — like their use of the word “¿Mande?” (order me). In this episode, Maria reveals how there’s so much more to Mexican politeness than just cultural norms or etiquette. From being generous and hospitable, to using tender words and lots, lots, lots of diminutives, politeness runs deep in the Mexican ethos.  Watch this episode on YouTube See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
