M: It’s Saturday tomorrow do you wanna hangout?

C: That would be great. Let’s meet at 1 pm at Toronto Centre

M: Okay, see you tomorrow. Bye!

C: You too, bye!

(Ipapakita yung pagiging on-time ng mga tao sa Canada)

(Magha-hug pagkakita)

C: No, I just got here.

-------------------------------

EXPLANATION: (MARY)

For the most part, Canadians are quite literal about time and schedules. If someone says to “come at 3:00” he usually expects his guest to be there at 3:00. Lateness of more than 15 minutes is considered rude, and an apology or explanation will be expected. Likewise, earliness of more than 15 minutes is usually considered presumptuous and may cause an awkward surprise for a host who is not yet ready.

Canadians are quite patient and are therefore unlikely to appear pushy or frantic for time in casual situations.

(Zhaiyin titingin sakin magpapaalam umalis)

Z: Sorry I have to go I have an appointment. See you soon.

M: Bye!

(Zhaiyin titingin kay Claire)

Z: Nice meeting you again, bye!

C: Bye!

EXPLANATION (CLAIRE)

Canadians meeting for the first time usually shake hands to introduce themselves, and may shake hands before departing, as well. A handshake is the common greeting between strangers. Shaking with a firm hand and eye contact reflects confidence. Canadians may laugh lightly over handshakes to diffuse the formality.

Short hugs are becoming more common for closer friends, particularly women. Kissing remains mostly reserved for family or lovers, though some French-Canadians may partake in the European practice of giving light cheek kisses as part of a friendly greeting.

Physical greetings depend on one’s sense of of another person’s comfort level. Hugs, back-slaps and nods may all be used to greet someone one knows well.

M:Let’s roam around and find some good place to eat.

C: Do you have something particular in mind?

M: I think La Banquise will be good.

------------------------------------

Z: Good Evening ma’am welcome to La Banquise, how can I help you?

C: Can we have a table for two please.

Z: Please come this way.
