i have a hypothesis that we Filos "nguso" a lot when pointing things is because of the nature of the sounds/phonemes of the words we associate with the action. "ayun/ayon", "nand'un/nand'on", "d'un/d'on", "dito", among other versions of "that/this/here/there, are all pronounced with a puckered lips. not sure if this is factual but it makes sense 😂
I hope us Filipinos can acquire how Koreans deal with waste management. Sadly most of the filipinos doesn't have the self discipline on how to properly dispose wastes😒
@@rinatamaki8858 Yeah, not to mention korean doesnt become picky too much on food because of this, because they all grew up hating that they leave food, you must clean it fully. And cleaning your plates by yourselves shows not to respect and discipline. If we start waste management i can just imagine finally, our public market will be clean and not infested and wont even see a big chunck of rat who runs by. I swear, if i have stable earning i'll buy grocery on a real market that is clean even if its in a mall, i'll do it
Hoy is basically like "hey" in english. We even sa "uy". Uy is actually hello in Brazil. Hello doesnt really have a good translation. It's basically a word to attract attention for greetings. The nguso(the part of between lips and nose) pointing. I never got that habit. Lol. But living here in America, I learned a lot of things about my culture and other cultures, which is fun and fascinating.
I feel like if somebody calls me Hoy for attention, that person wants to pick a fight or something. Unless we're close or depends on the tone of the voice. Maybe Hey, Yo, Kuya, Lods, Boss, should be OK. 🤣🤣🤣
We Filipinos know that saying 'psst' and 'hoy' to a stranger or someone older than you is rude. We mostly do that with our peers or someone younger (but it happens too when we don't like someone or angry towards someone haha).
@@iyottayobabyj5770 can you read? She said we usually just use it with our peers or to our enemies. And psst and hoy's tone can be different depending on the situation or the purpose why you use it, sometimes we mean it piss someone, sometimes to joke.
The first one was a fact, not all Filipinos practice CLAYGO. But segregating the plates and glasses on tables after eating in fastfoods should be practiced, so that workers won't have a hard time cleaning.
Filipino people is very friendly thats why even if you dont know each other you'll become close ..but beso beso in strangers is awkward too..we do that on people that we used to know ...
Pali-pali in Korean can be translated Dali-dali in Filipino. Almost the same meaning. Like in the sentence "Dali-dali siyang pumunta sa CR." He hurriedly went to the CR. Asking someone to "Come! Quickly!" can be translated "Halika! Dali!".
The “cleaners” in the Philippines (i believe) is purely a job that was created to provide more employment opportunities. That’s what I was told by my relatives there. Also, “hoy” is pretty rude in general if you’re addressing someone that you arent extremely close too. This is awesome, Jessica. Thanks for this video.
As a Filipino here in South Korea, I've noticed that the train seats for PWD, Senior citizens and pregnant women always leave available even though the train is already full. Koreans will just stay standing until there will be a vacant space in the regular seats. 👏👏👏
As a Filipino I am never used to calling someone close or not "psst" and "hoy" because that is extremely rude to me. If I am to call a stranger or someone I am not close with or even to people I know and I am close with, I always call them by their names and I call people "Miss", "Ma'am", "Kuya", "Ate" and "Sir."
Same. Depends on the upbringing, maybe. Even with the nguso thing, it's not the norm in our family, also with swearing. It's considered rude, we usually only do mild cussing when very surprised or angry. Lol!😂
Yes, it depends on d upbringing, when we were young, our parents taught us not to use ur "nguso" just say it and don't use hoy/oi, mention d name or call him/her ate or Kuya or Aling xxx / Mang YYY if very much older.. but when I became an adult, I started to use hoy or Hey (even at work) with my friends or if I am annoyed with unfamiliar person.. time/environment is different now, when we gets older, everything changes, modernization together of new innovation or technology, or we are very much free now I would say..
I observed that CLAYGO is slowly becoming a habit in Manila. Maybe because in recent years international travel has become more affordable or maybe because of the Internet. I'm happy to observe young working people do this now.
I remember my Pinay friend's first trip to Korea. She is very bubbly and she likes looking people in the eye and smile, the usual Filipino hospitality. However, I told her not to do that here in Korea because Koreans don't feel comfortable about looking other people in the eye and smile at strangers, lol. She also complained about people bumping at her (especially in the subways) and they don't apologize. I just laughed about it and told her that's just how Koreans are. They don't mind bumping on others much especially in crowded places. But those really are some notable cultural differences between the two countries.
Thats why filipinos are the best kc ng sosorry tayo db sa mga nkkabangga natin ..at mgaling tayo sa sociable kc khit aq i always smile sa mga taong mnsan nkka eye contact ko bt dati to now kc deadmahin aq so nadala nako di ko na ginagawa ..
Tapos sasabihan tayo ng rude e sila din nmn rude in their own way ..higit sa lhat marami pa rin pinoy ang totoo n as long as lam mo sa tingin mo tama go for it bt mo iisipin un mga tao khit p san kang bansa ..respect lng sa mga culture yan kung gusto mo respetuhin ang bansa at culture nyo db dpt gnon din sila give and take lng yan .ganyan dpt mindset ng mga halos lhat ng bansa pra no problem .
I think the priority seatings exist in the PH. Even if there's no sign, the first 2 rows are reserved for elderly, presgnant women and PWD's and Filipinos will always offer their seat for those mentioned w/c doesnt happen most in other countries. I dont personally do the pointing with the mouth or calling someone "hoy" or "psst," but what I really dont like about our culture is the "Filipino time" w/c means being late. I just hope that in the future the PH will be more efficient and be more punctual.
Some things I like to point out. Calling strangers or even people you know "Hoy!" or "Pssst!" is not a norm. It is actually rude. Unless you are very close friends with that person and you are allowed to call them "Hoy!" I think the common way to call strangers is "Excuse me, Ate/Kuya/Miss/Sir." Also, there are priority carts (not just seats) in the trains. The first cart is for the elderly, pregnant women, PWD, and adults with small children. If you are a PWD, you even have to show your ID to the guard in order to allow entrance. The first seats in the buses are reserved for them, too. You can seat there if it is vacant, but you have to vacate it when an elderly or pregnant woman gets on the bus.
I actually prefer these videos when you're talking about a topic, I feel like I'm learning something. I think the main difference is that unlike a Confucian culture like Korea, Filipinos can socialize more easily with older people, the opposite sex, people of another social class or foreigners. Maybe that's why some Koreans like the Philippines. Personally, I think we need more of that Pali Pali culture here. You should tell Filipinas that handsome and charming "Oppas" only exist in Kdramas. I don't understand why you have to go to Korea for that when there are plenty of "gwapo" men like me around, just kidding.
@@ciocomacchiatto9029 why my grandmother and father is like Korean? They want me to work fast and perfect.. that's why when I work in . Korean company wayback... I adopt the korean culture easily because of my family upbringing.. we have a Spanish-Chinese Blood..
@@iyottayobabyj5770 I am hoping for a better work/salary and healthy work ethics in the Philippines so that Filipinos will not go work outside the country and always adjust for other people.
When I stayed in Korea for 6mos. I was culture shocked, Hindi sila tumitingin sa mata sa nakakasalubong o mag smile or hi man lang.. para sa kanila stranger ka talaga. . Unless friends kayo...
@@shaikiefalcatan8718 i never had that habit, when i stare at someone is instantly look away and if i see someone stare at me they do the same since its awkward for us, maybe because im young, most of my fellow young people do so as well. Generations really do change
actually calling us "hoy" is rude also. especially when a friend or a relative younger you is very rude. I don't know in other place but for me it's rude. Sometimes when somebody calls me "Hoy". I told them I have a name don't call me "hoy!". rude!😅
I guess being open minded when travelling to other countries is something that we need to take note. Things that you might find opposite of what is normal to you shouldnt take it against the locals. Dont make assumptions especially if you do not have much knowledge about the culture. Thanks a lot Jessica! I can tell that you put so much thoughts on this!
Here in Baguio City including other cordilleran places, it's not really our habit to do the "nguso" thing. So it depends on the place you visit like Manila you will much probably encounter a lot of people doing it. Every city in the Philippines has different discipline and the people. So you can really tell them apart by their manners and traits.
for me, this video is the most relevant and reliable one than those "do's and dont's" videos from other channels because these lists verbally and directly came from a Korean citizen herself.
We don't really use 'psst' or 'hoy' when talking with stranger. I only use 'Hoy' at home..never even ised it on my friends. Maybe 'Uy' or 'Oi' in a more friendlier tone. Those Filipino who used that to you are maybe rude people. As for nguso yea we usually do it but yea you shouldn't do it on strangers and to the elders cuz it's rude. I actually love the social etiquette of Koreans.
To be honest, "Beso-beso" is commonly used when you are with your close friends only. Actually, there are many people who are close but don't do such thing like me and my friends, so it will be really a strange thing if we'll do it to a stranger lol. Next "Psst" or "Hoy", even in PH if I heard those words out of nowhere there are only two possibilities "There is a friend who's calling me behind" or "There is a rude boy/girl trying to piss me off". We don't do this to strangers unless our goal is to be disrespectful, which is not acceptable. These thing are not just "Should NOT do in Korea" but "Should NOT do anywhere" unless you are doing it to your close friends, or to your co Filipinos who are used in this gestures. SKL lol.
@@kimberleyGrace100 Not really. We're not sosyal, but we usually do beso beso with relatives. Perhaps it depends if you grew up in that kind of environment where people you know do it.
Thank you, Jessicaaa!! Hahahahahaha I'm planning to travel to South Korea when the Pandemic is over and this is really helpful to me as a Filipino who normally waves when saying Hi to people. 😆❤
Actually, "Hoy!" (in the Philippines) is only used with your acquaintances or people you have some kind of relationship with. Things get heated when you use it with strangers. Also, the "nguso" thing is only used when your hands are busy with something else. Otherwise, it's rude to point with your "nguso" when your hands are free to do it.
@ᜆ᜔ᜐᜒᜃ My point is, "nguso" being considered "rude" does not apply to all. There are some Filipinos who consider it rude, and there are some who consider it a harmless mannerism and will take no offense when they come across it (regardless if someone's hands are free or not). Your mom is one of the two.
Well, it depends to the people. I was a kind of person who never like leaving my trash/dish after eating, also i never liked the pointing of lips to something. Some cultures that i dont like here. I dunno but i think i'm weird in my own country
6:28 I've seen idols do this. This entire list just shows how respectful & considerate Koreans are. And it's funny how we practice timeliness in movie scheds over everything else. 😅😪
Thank you again for the useful tips, on "do's or don'ts when in Korea. We were in Korea in Dec. 2019, on a 5 days guided tour. We might have done alot of don'ts instead of the do's. Definitely, it's not the last (we are planning one) so thanks again for the tips.
Trains in korea also come late but it is very rare to happen. I remember an episode from running man (koean variety show), the train came late. When the train reached the next station, the staff and the members got off the train to play a game with a certain time limit, if my memory serves me right, they got 10 minutes before the train departs. Little dis they know, train already departed 3 minutes earlier. One of the explanation given was because the train got delayed from previous station, so they need to adjust their travel time.
@Kabalen International Yes, I think so XD. She have some of it. XD. But she acknowledge it as her Filipino accent because she learned and spoke English first in Philippines.
I find Koreans really friendly. Whenever I visit Seoul and get lost, it’s so much easier to ask a local. They would go out of their way. I remember when my friends and I were planning to mountain hike on Namsan, we met a man at Dongguk University and he showed us the way, like he walked with us sveral kilometers, to the entrance!
One thing I noticed when eating out in South Korea is that we have to order per person. In the Philippines, food sharing is allowed, so even though they're two persons, they can order for one and it's okay. But in S. Korea, if there are two persons, they also have to order for two. I'm not sure if it's a standard or anything.
Why I'm getting obsessed with your videos this past week? Maybe it because I enjoyed and also learned while watching your videos... by the way thank you Unnie😊
YEAHHHHHH that drinking etiquette is what i commonly saw in every kdrama like when a collage freshmen is drinking for the first time with their sunbaes they do that thing. Like holding the glass with the use of two hands while offering their glass to be filled by ther sunbaes.
I'm not Philippino but our countries share a lot of the things that you pointed out in the video and because i want to travel to Korea this was very helpful
This is sooo helpful. I've always been afraid of going to korea because I might feel awkward while interacting with them knowing that we both have different cultures especially the drinking etiquettes. Thank you for this!
Thank you Jessica for the pointers. I do plan to travel in Korea with my kids one day because we want to experience the street food we always see in KDramas and shows we watched. And my daughter and i are big fans of Kpop Idols (BTS/Enhypen) hehe...we only wish to see concerts of Kpop Idols but we most certainly want to experience Korean food and places to see. The City looks lovely from the IG posts too. So thank you for this video. I really appreciate it. Cheers!
thank you so much for this jessica ❤️❤️❤️ i learned a lot... i don't want to offend anyone when i go to sk in the future... i really appreciate the videos you've done. you are really bridging a gap between cultures
Even before covid 19... In LRT, MRT and buses... there's always a priority seats for elderly and pregnant women.. In lrt and mrt the first train Wagon is for Women,Elderly and Pregnant.. same into the city buses.. the 1st row seats is for women, Elderly and Pregnant...
Very helpful, thanks! Your (first) country is definitely our next place to visit after this pandemic is over. You should be drafted as "Brand Ambassador" of both Korea and the Philippines!
I'm curious how koreans recognize if someone is older or younger than they are. Do you ask them straight up? Cause for example, you have to add "yo" at the end of your sentence if talking to someone older to show respect. But how would you know that they are older?
They ask. A LOT. But yeah as a rule of thumb as a foreigner, you’re very unlikely to find situations where not using haeyoche (adding yo at the end of sentences) would make sense out of the box, so just use that until the person you’re talking with tells you it’s okay not to.
Thanks for this reminders..I'm planning for a trip to korea after this pandemic. Btw, I saw your mural in Don Jose, they still look good..sent you some pic on Instagram....
to give more context about the CLAYGO (or lack thereof) in filipino restaurants or fastfoods, my uncle is a chef in the liner. it was a passed on tradition to tell the history of why filipinos don't CLAYGO. it was during spaniard rule when some filipinos were given the opportunity to start their own restaurants. due to filipino hospitality, the "managers" during the that time noticed that some customers (plausibly the filipino ones) will have food stains in their long sleeves (typically a barong that time) as some of them tried to clean up their table. so a culture was created ; they will command the "servidores" (servers) to quickly go to the ones done with their food and clean up the tables to avoid their customers messing up their clothes in trying to clean up themselves. as centuries goes on, it has became a habit not to clean when you eat in restaurants or fastfood chains, all because of filipino hospitality.
I actually wanted to do that Claygo but feeling ko nakakahiya tapos parang mali pinag gagawa ko😭 kaya inaayos ko na lang HSHSHAHA tapos tinatapon iyong mga basura sa trashcan
This video is vey informative. I like how you explain it properly and you really get to strike the differences between the two cultures. I have high hopes that I could work and travel abroad (especially in Korean) one of my dream country to visit with. All the love Miss Jes
Honestly, most of these makes sense. I've lived a long time overseas and most of these are just basic courtesy. Though the drinking rules kinda reminds me of Japanese tea ceremonies.
Here in our Province we used 'Kilay' (Eyebrows) in Pointing instead of Lips (Labi). Not at all a there some only Lips must be popular , but there's an Eyebrows also
@@fruitatocorner2511 example someone ask you and while you're talking you will use your eyebrows trying to point out where the person is (you can't use your hand to point because it's kinda rude particularly if it's stranger)
I remember when I was still a kid, playing on the streets, my father would stand near our gate and would "ppsssssssssssttt" long and loud that you can hear it four houses away. The ppssst is call, it means it is time for me to go home. Lol.
IN PH TRAINS..THE FIRST WAGON(LIKE THE FIRST JUST BEHIND THE COCKPIT) IS RESERVED WOMEN CARRYING SMALL KIDS,SENIOR,PREGNANT WOMEN) AND THE SECOND WAGON IS GENARALLY FOR WOMEN...IF YOU'RE A FAMILY IT DEPENDS THE SITUATION..BUT IN SOME CASES THERE WOMEN SOMETIMES PREFER THE GENERAL(THE REST) OF THE WAGONS FOR REASONS: IF THE SECOND WAGON IS FULL OR SIMPLY YOU JUST DON'T MIND TO BE IN THE GENERAL WAGONS
Nice tips. Watching k dramas somehow i can relate on what you mentioned. Since i dont speak korean somehow i noticed in kdrama that honorifics is a must when speaking with elderly or strangers. Somehow a version of po and opo in the Philippines.
MISS JESSICA THANK YOU FOR TELLING US ABOUT THE ETTIQUETES OF KOREA. IF THEIRS PANDEMIC IS OVER I GO TO YOUR COUNTRY AND I CAN TEACH YOU AND MISS SYLVIA KIM OF TAGALOG
I feel like TV shows start late as well. When I was living in Korea, I loved watching dramas but they don’t start on time. I mean it seems like it’s similar to the movie one.. They show the first credits and then show different ads and then the actual drama starts 😅
Ahm the train time in philippines is the same as korea on time...only meet ups or hang outs do pilipino always late but in transportation like trains are in always on time...
