Meeting custom in Ukraine

Ukraine people are accustomed to hugging and kissing on the cheek when they meet. Especially when relatives and friends meet, they have to kiss the cheek three times. The elder kissed the junior on the forehead.

In Ukraine, when shaking hands between a man and a woman, they generally have to wait for the woman to reach out first. When holding the woman's hand, the man should be gentle, do not shake the other's hand hard, and do not ask the woman's age.

In the communication of Ukraine, the usages of "you" and "you" are relatively complex and strict, and sometimes they are exactly the opposite of the usages in China. Generally speaking, among family members and friends who are close to each other, addressing "you" implies intimacy, friendliness and carelessness. Calling "you" to elders and strangers implies respect and politeness. Sometimes, after talking for a while, people you have just met will quickly change their names to "you", indicating that you have become friends and don't need to be restrained or polite.

Under normal circumstances, when greeting and talking, Ukraine people can praise people's appearance, dress, figure and demeanor, but not their physical condition. Don't say things such as "You are in good health" or "You are so healthy and you are not sick." Such flattery, which is different from China people. Because in the habit of Ukraine, such words are not allowed to be said, and people feel that saying them will have the opposite effect. Ukraine people are very fond of saying praises such as "You are very young," World Customs Network, and "You don't look old." People are also happy to listen.

Ukraine people love flowers. Whether they are birthdays, festivals or ordinary guests, flowers are indispensable. Generally, flowers are sent in odd numbers, because Ukraine people believe that odd numbers are auspicious and even numbers are unlucky. They only send even flowers when someone dies. That is, 2 or 4 branches, usually carnations and tulips.
