뜻
Direct and unambiguous language.
문화적 배경
Directness is seen as a form of honesty and respect. 'Klare Worte' are preferred over 'polite lies.' Austrians are generally slightly more indirect and 'höflich' (polite) than Northern Germans, but 'klare Worte' are still valued in business. Swiss communication is often very diplomatic. 'Klare Worte' might be used more sparingly to avoid conflict. Americans often use the 'Sandwich Method' (Positive-Negative-Positive). Germans might skip the bread and just give the 'klaren Worte' (the meat).
The 'Worte' Rule
Always use 'Worte' when you mean a message or speech. If you can replace it with 'message,' use 'Worte.'
Don't be too 'klar'
In Southern Germany and Austria, being too 'klar' can be seen as 'piefkinesisch' (typically Prussian/rude).
