Ask for permission

Sub-topics: Make a small talk

People who have just met usually ASK each other FOR PERMISSION to address as a formal way of respect and etiquette to be formal at work, tourism or travelling.

Some expressions used are:

• Do you mind if I...?
  
• Would it be rude to...?
• What would you like to be called?
  
• How do you prefer to be addressed?
• Do you use Ms. or Mrs.? (Just for woman)

Juan: Hello, kitty lady! Excuse me, I'm Juan, do you know where the food is? 

Ms.Caterson: Hi, of course I know. Follow me.

Juan: Purrfect! Hey, What's your name?

Ms.Caterson: I'm Carla caterson.

Juan: Oh, do you use Ms. or Mrs?

Ms. Caterson: Hehe. Please call me Ms. Caterson. Nice to meet you Juan.
