Hello,

First of all I don’t really get the actual meaning of “please”. I understand it as it used to make a polite request. However I have rarely seen any westerner saying “please” on either Lemmy, Mastodon or IRC. where I live using “please” (मेहरबानी) is used often.

    In Australia in the aboriginal culture I was raised in, there is no word for please. We never used it growing up

    We have a ward for thank you mah,

    We say thank you but if you have something and can give it and someone asks you are obliged to provide.

    In today’s world this causes many problems with money etc though.
