Speech etiquette

By speech etiquette is understood the totality of speech means, as well as the rules of their use in certain situations. Speech etiquette teaches us not only to conduct a conversation, but also to start and finish it. Those who know certain rules will not get into a ridiculous situation when communicating with cultural people and will always be able to show off their best.

Russian speech etiquette allows several options for starting a conversation. Everything depends on the specific circumstances, as well as the situation. At a party, for example, you can just come up and start a conversation with a simple question. Do not forget to introduce yourself.

It is not forbidden to get acquainted with people in public places. How to do it right? You can start with a request for help: help choose a book, ask which product is better and so on. You can try to continue the conversation only if the person showed interest to you.

The rules of speech etiquette do not prohibit starting a conversation with a compliment. This approach helps to quickly find a person.

You can start a conversation with general phrases about the weather, some events and so on.

To continue the conversation, you can use a wide variety of questions. It is important to listen to your interlocutor. This will help to find out which topics are most appropriate. In general, verbal etiquette recommends listening more, not talking. Do not you dare interrupt the interlocutor. It is also not advisable to argue - it makes no sense to prove to everyone and everyone their position. The argument will only spoil the impression of you.

A casual conversation is encouraged. In order to make the interlocutor relax, you can tell us a simple joke or a funny incident from life.

To be an interesting conversationalist is to know very much. It is necessary to grasp even for small parcels, which come from the interlocutor. It is also necessary to develop them. Read books, magazines, watch news, be interested in novelties of cinema.

Speech etiquette is forbidden during conversation.

It is important not only to start and continue the conversation correctly, but also to finish it. It's always necessary to finish decisively, but delicately and very politely. When there is no sense and the opportunity to continue the conversation, do not try to grasp all the topics in a row. You need to know the measure. It is better to thank the interlocutor for an interesting conversation, to praise him for anything and, having said goodbye, to leave.

If you are in a hurry, and the interlocutor just got into the taste, tactfully hint to him, looking at the clock. Apologize and say that you would be happy to continue the conversation, but urgent business does not allow you to do this.

Speech etiquette involves a polite departure from topics that you do not want to discuss. Variants are different. You can, of course, try to translate the conversation into another direction, but it is best to openly admit that this topic is unpleasant for you and ask you to omit it.

In a conversation, you should not talk about negativity, your troubles, worries, sufferings and so on. Problems at all a lot. They each have their own, and talk about them for hours.

Themes that are personal for both you and your interlocutor should not be made the subject of conversation in the presence of outsiders. On things that are of a delicate nature, make accents, trying to understand whether the other person is not against talking about them.

Do not even try to discuss the missing people. Through discussion, many are trying to raise their rating. This tactic is wrong. The conversation can turn out to be amusing (albeit useless), but you will spoil the impression of yourself. Speech etiquette does not allow useless mockery of anyone.

Do not give in to the mood. Always try to get into the emotional state of the person you are talking to. In some cases, you can try to influence his emotional state.
