#37 Afandi Quiz: Cultural Misunderstanding
Today’s quiz is about a cultural misunderstanding in the following situation:
▶️ Ron is a middle-aged businessman from the 🇬🇧UK. He used to work for a trading firm but has recently emigrated (=moved to another country) from his rainy native town of Bristol to sunny Cape Town in 🇿🇦South Africa. Inspired (=given a new idea) by the country’s vineyards (=grape farm) he decides to set up a wine trading business, hoping to export local wines to the rest of the world. Unfortunately he finds it difficult to deal with suppliers (=people or companies who provide goods) and feels that for some reason they don’t seem to trust him.

Ron is a white man but most of the wine is still produced by blacks.
49%
He's too formal. Business in the UK is a serious affair but in South Africa people are more relaxed.
10%
South Africans don’t grow grapes to make wine. Doing so is illegal and it's difficult to export it.

What might be Ron’s problem?
Well done!
👍 South Africans are indeed more relaxed, especially in the countryside. To them, someone dressed formally looks more like a bank manager demanding payment, not so much like a potential (=possible or likely in the future) business partner.
👎 They aren’t particularly difficult to do business with, nor is wine-making a domain (=field of activity) of black South Africans. Plus there is nothing like a prohibition (=prohibiting sth by law, esp. alcohol) there.

1️⃣ Why you are here?
2️⃣ What she said?
3️⃣ Where you have been?
✅ Well, it should be:
1️⃣Why are you here?
2️⃣ What did she say?
3️⃣ Where have you been?
❓Why?
❗️ Question words are usually followed by a verb or auxiliary.
❗️ Exceptions:
• “What movie did you watch?” – in this case what is a determiner.
