To get to know someone.

🌍

문화적 배경

The transition from 'faire connaissance' to friendship is often slower than in North America. It involves multiple 'apéros' and shared meals before one is considered a 'vrai ami'. In Quebec, the 'faire connaissance' phase might move to 'tu' much faster than in France, reflecting a generally more egalitarian social structure. Socializing and 'faire connaissance' often involve extended greetings and asking about family, which is considered an essential part of the process. In a French 'entreprise', making acquaintance with colleagues often happens during the 'pause café', which is a sacred social ritual.
