文化背景
In Spain, 'ir al grano' is highly valued in business. Meetings often start with very little small talk compared to other Spanish-speaking countries. Mexicans often use 'rodeos' (circles) as a sign of politeness. Going 'al grano' too fast can sometimes be seen as aggressive or 'pesado'. Argentines are known for being very talkative. 'Ir al grano' is often used humorously to stop a friend who has been talking for 20 minutes without stopping. In formal Colombian speech, people prefer 'ir al punto'. 'Ir al grano' is used more in informal, family settings.
Use 'Vayamos' to be polite
