it's a generous posture to just always offer other people so like even if that's water like let's say there's a pitcher of water that's right in front of me i would offer it to the person on my left first and then if they would like some i would pour it for them okay and then i would pour myself and then in the u.s we pass to the right and so you would go along like that and you always want to take one portion even if there's a lot there take one portion for yourself and then once everybody else

If you're on a date, only I think if they were to your left. So if you're seated right beside each other. But not straight, not across. Oh, if it was just the two of you, actually I would. If you were going to, I think it's very nice. I don't think there's a right or a wrong there. And also, if you're ever the host, you serve your guests before you serve yourself or your family.

Right, yes. So if someone is right-handed, we would put the handle of the tea cup or the coffee cup is on the right-hand side. So if we imagine this is like a clock and we have 12 o'clock at the top, it would be three o'clock. Here is where we put the handle.

And the way you hold a tea cup and the way you hold a coffee cup are different, mostly because coffee cups are heavier, so they involve like just more weight. If it was a coffee cup, I would hold it like this. And then if it was a teacup, I would pinch my pointer finger and my thumb together and I would support it like this. Okay.

Can I try? It's very specific and honestly a lot of teacups are heavier these days. No, this is wrong. You're close. You would just extend. So pinch your pointer finger and your thumb and then extend your third finger to support it there. Exactly. Yeah. It's just a little more ladylike. It's a little more ladylike and it works if you are really having like a proper afternoon tea on a high.
