The Brazilian people.

What are their main caractheristics?


Hi folks,

In general, as Brazilian people is formed by a mix of many cultures and races, some caracteristics are different from the Americans and Europeans.
I mean, the behaviour caracteristics, so for us for example it´s commom when people are introduced toeqch other we change kisses on the face, generally, one or two depending on the state of Brazil that you are.
For formal situations for instance, shaking hands it´s enough.
Genrally Brazilain are friend people who like talking and being outgoing, of course, I´m saying this as a generall rule and there are always exceptions.
Here in Brazil, there are no problems for example. if a married woman when is intrduced to a man kisses him on the face but, in some other cultures this is not allowed.
another caractheristic from Brazilain people is that , depending on the region of the country as in Rio and Bahia for example they´re very talkative, and in São Paulo for example in general people are faster than on the other regions, I meean , they are in a hurry by the most part of the time.
In the North of the ountry, the Indian caractheristic is very clear on peoples´s appearance, on the other hand, in the Northest the influence of black peolple are more present even on the food, religion , song.
However, in the South we can see clearly the European influece, not only on people´s apperance bur also on the food , the song .
So, now you know a little bit more about Brazilian, I hope you cam enjoyit!

See you!
