This is really beautiful. I'm gonna practice this at McDonald's
This cracked me up😂😂
Hahaha... try eating your burger with a fork and knife next time 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Screaming 😭😂😂😂😂
Ha ha ha 🤣🤣🤣
she's different level of living. Can you do a video on Arguing etiquette, it'd be so aggressively polite.
Wait what, I know there's a 99% chance that you're joking but I would actually love to see that. The things I would do to argue like Elizabeth Bennett and Mr Darcy in that rain scene
@@NothingToSeeHere836 on the contrary Mimi, I wasn’t joking!
@@LowkeyBone8 Good to know. If you ever happen to find a tutorial on Arguing Etiquette, please do let me know!
LoL 😂
Omg😂😭
My mother was the queen on etiquette. It resonates with me as of today. Manners are very important. How one dresses tell a lot about that person. There's a time and a place for jeans. It should not be worn in an opera concert as I saw it in Florida (Bocelli's concert)
Thanks. It was refreshing. I wish people would adhere to good manners or improve their manners.
Completely agree with you, dressing well and appropriate is a must (teachings of my mother also) I get so repelled when I go to a fine dining restaurant and see people looking like they're going to the park! Also was at the theater for a ballet performance and most ppl without any proper etiquette, behaving inappropriately and dressed like they were going to Walmart!
At times like this, I am thankful for my father for being a little more strict about our Dining Etiquette. Thank you for this helpful video.
You are welcome
I m failed to comment
Finally ready to accept the queen's invitation.
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol!
👍
The smartest reply
This is everything my grandparents wanted me to be 😂
😂 😂 😂 I can imagine the pressure
😂😂😂😂 i was raised with normal table manners like "Close your mouth while chewing, and don't talk while chewing"
When i moved out and started living with friends, i realised how POSH i was, we werent even remotely rich or close to being rich! my friends don't have any manners at all
It’s funny how that works. My mom comes from an upper middle class - almost aristocratic - background, and I remember the table manners and general etiquette she constantly instilled in me. To this day, I hate eating anywhere but the table. But, its allowed me to be somewhat comfortable in fine dining situations, and in business lunches.
Yoo🥴🥴
A bag holder/chair.
I have worked in fine dining for many years and have served very important people. All the things you teach are the same thing I taught other servers for years. You are doing an excellent job.
The hardest part about this is expecting the establishment to be able to keep up with your manners, but realistically this will only be applicable in certain circles that already know quite well about all the etiquette and are expected to act accordingly.
Tomorrow is my exam but here I'm learning etiquettes of dining.
Guys it's been an year since I commented this and today was also my exams but here I'm replying you guys.
holy shit same
this is me
OMG same here😂😂😂
Me too 😂😂 wtf are we people!
@@cs7364 We are Pro level careless people. 😂😂✌
Imagine the pressure on her boyfriend on their date.
I cant even imagine 😂
*sweats profoundly *
She would probably date someone who was raised with this type of etiquette.
She is already married and have babies 😍
😂😂
I'm part of the younger generation, and I appreciate these videos so much! I've always been fascinated by etiquette that schools don't teach so being able to learn them is an absolute miracle to me
Great if you meet the upper crust. Never know.
@@phylis3917 so true
I always make sure I lick the plate clean after eating pasta so that the plate is easier to wash after.
I'm going to practice with my dog. She is my guest of honor.
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Lol
Sad dog
She deserve it 😂😂♥
watching this while laying down on my bed and eating a bag of chips
🤣🤣🤣🤣 hot Cheetos
We are all human. I do that too 😊
I'm laying down too :( now I want chips hahaha
I've got cookie dough hahaha
Hhhh
Thank you Jamila for making our lives beautiful by sharing these helpful etiquette lessons with us.
You are so welcome
Manners and etiquette are very important. As she says good etiquette makes you and everyone around you more comfortable
The napkin thing explains why people throw their napkin onto the table at the end of arguments in shows
🤣🤣🤣
that’s what i was thinking about😂😂😂
Yea it's like a mic drop
Hi
Exactly what I was thinking about 😂
Me: eating like a pig.
YT: Here, learn peasant.
lol
lmaoooooo
ouch
Lol 😂😂😂
You got me dude 😂
I’m so delighted that I learned these by taking an etiquette class in high school. It has served me so well in my profession. But I didn’t know about the thank you note to the host the next day. I quite like that idea. It’s very courteous and respectful. I’m going to try it. 🤗
I am happy to hear that!
my prom is tommorow
and they said dining etiquette will be strictly observed
thank you so much
Note to self: Don't go eating fine dining when hungry.
Haha.. Actually. 🤣🤣🤣
😆😆 Haha! Agreed🤣
😄
If you do, expect to stop at McDonald's or Burger King before going home.
Fine dining is created with women in their mind. It's a perfect dinner for women where they dressed up and expected to eat expensive meal served on tiny portion.
Agreed 🥲 the bill 👀
Your voice sounds really elegant
Uyên Dương thank you 🙏🏻
@Bilal Al Rashid no, I am from Azerbaijan 🇦🇿
So relaxing! im about to watch her "Tea Etiquette" now.. just incase i've been drinking tea the wrong way all my life 😋
@@TsarOfRuss 🤣🤣
Beautiful woman with nice voice,elegant 100%
I am so glad I found this channel. I never learned any of this when young and have suffered from a slight coordination disability, so as I re-learn coordination of activities I'm going to learn the proper etiquette way. It's never too late to learn!
The way we eat differs greatly because we are Indian. Most of the time, we eat with our hands or a spoon. The video has really given me a profound understanding of fundamental table manners. Thankyou for making this video
Same with us Nepalis. I saw a British girl eating bhaat (rice) with a fork and almost had a stoke lol
Things you eat with hands, you can't with cutlery. It just doesn't feel right. And since it is our culture, it won't be considered lack of manners either. But slurping loudly, chewing with an open mouth and dirtying your entire hand is very gross.
These aren’t “fundamental table manners” these are “advanced table manners for posh snobs”. As long as you’re using knife and fork, not making a mess, not chewing with an open mouth etc. you’ll be fine 95% of the time.
You know there are etiquettes for eating with hand as well. How only tips of fingers should touch the food and not the entire finger, not to let the food touch the palms in most cases.
Eating with ones hands or rather fingers can be an uplifting experience when done properly which, incidentally in a world of fast foods, applies to almost everyone.
At this point, i don't even know if i'm breathing PROPERLY !!
most likely you’re not
@@exoscalmfan191 🤣🤣🤣
I know I’m not, I have some bellyaches because of that when I run
You are not. Now stand outside in the snow and think about what you've done, peasant.
😂😂😂
This comment section is the funniest section in for a while , you gotta love humans 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I totally agree. lmao
true
All the aliens are here
same XD it makes my day
@@mk-ki4ls Not aliens omg lmfao
My parents never taught me this. I finally know the proper dinning etiquette
I take it that licking the plate when you’ve finished is out of the question?
There was a joke about some countess, which, to offend the guests, gave her plate to the dog for licking after the dinner, saying "this way, we save on washing up dishes before next meal".
Or licking ur fingers to appreciate the aftertaste
🤣😂🤣
Burping too?
😂 😂 😂
Step 1: get invited to a posh restaurant.
😄lol
🤣
Why not practice good etiquette at mcDo's?
That portion of food. I'll need 8 portions to fill my tummy
I was just about to say that:v
Well done.
90% of this I already knew. Grateful to my parents who taught me all of these from my childhood ❤
Just one thing you forgot to mention, the 2 liter of Mountain Dew must be at the 10:30 o’clock position relative to the main plate and the hidden valley ranch should be at the 1:30 o’clock position. No host with any honor will leave these 2 things off the table, no exceptions. If you arrive and your carbonated drink and ranch are not there you must get up in a quick yet calm manner, stare the host in the eye, throw your handkerchief on your plate and proceed to go home. The next day you should write a letter to your host explaining how he is an embarrassment to himself and how he must understand that his actions have consequences by ending your friendship or business relationship with said person. Hope this helps.
Watching this because one day i believe i will be invited to a dinner in A BIIIGGGG CAASSSTLEEE . 😆😆
Best comment lol
It's not like I want to be princess or something
JUST IN CASE YOU KNOW
That's faith baby,I also watch and learn for future reference because I don't wana embarrass myself
@@anonaka131 totally 🙄
I followed this on my dinning table with my parents.
With one slap I was back to normal.
😂😂😂
😂
That cracked me up so bad
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for this! My mother taught me most of this when I was a kid, but a recent fine dining experience reminded me that it's always good to brush up on what's considered good table etiquette =)
I’m going to watch this everyday for it to get stuck in my head.
☺️
Me too haha 😂
I do it every month
@@JamilaMusayeva I have a question, when you started to be a lady? I am Aria and now I have 15 years old and my mother learn me how to be a lady, she herself is very elegant and stylish and she wants me to be like her and I want to be like her because I would like to be a lady. When I had 14 years old, she learned me how to eat in elegant way and how to behave. Now I have 15 years old and today she painted my nails. My nails are pink now and they are so beautiful. I love them. Tomorrow she will learn me how to walk in high heels and play piano and I can't wait. I would love to walk in high heels. Anyway thank you for your tips. Aria is my real name if you would like to know, my mother gave me name Aria because in her opinion Aria is wonderful and elegance name, I agree with her. Aria sounds beautiful and when you started to learn how to be a lady?
🤣
Perfect timing, I didn’t know what to do during lockdown 2. Now I know how to eat properly at my table alone in my room
😊
🥴😛😂✌
She is so sweet. She doesn't even understand that people are roasting her.xD
😂😆😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭
This is really helpful. I have always wondered what etiquettes and manners to follow in a restaurant since I was a child. Now I know them.I will definitely follow your advices the next time I'm on a restaurant.
Thank you Jamila
The fact that this video taught me more than any class I had in school day is amazing.
She’s the definition of classy elegant woman and love her voice so much omg
🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@JamilaMusayeva yes,ur voice is soo,sweet & elegant,it soothe my mind and soul too😊
Thank you @@JamilaMusayeva for educating people on proper manners. Also, you could have pointed out that in many places to signal the waiting staff with anything else than a look or nod is considered rude (you managed to make raising your finger look quite classy, tho).
@@JamilaMusayeva Hi, aren't you Uzbek ?!
@@shoyusufsiddiqov3329 she's azerbaijani
What if I’m fat and there’s no space between the back of the chair and the table?
Then you must never eat again.
@@anasimic1109 why would u say sth like that...
@@peaceamongworlds2256 Um I'm obviously being sarcastic and joking? 😶
@@anasimic1109 ppl got eating disorders so saying that might not be the right thing even if you are joking about it
@@anasimic1109 LMAO thanks hun
To indicate that you're not finished your meal but want to take a pause from eating, put your knife and fork at the 12-6 angle then move the fork to a 12-7 angle and the knife to a 12-5 angle (like a triangle on the plate). This let's the waiter know not to remove your plate.
Many thanks for the eloquence and direction in this video. Very informative and quite enjoyable as well.
I'm obsessed... I mean, I don't do anything she's teaching but it's so interesting that people like this exist in the world.
Thank you!
@jamila i don't think he is complementing you.
@@kumaryogesh5829 🤣🤣
I am sure that she is ... well, just a regular person, actually, who has knowledge of very niche type of information/skills. And those who are interested, will find her and learn what they need to, OR just be entertained by the content. 😊
This made me feel like i never wanna go out and eat food in public . Glade were in lockdown 😂😂
My first grade teacher taught us good table manners. We had to wait for everyone to be served before eating during class parties. We were in an under resourced school but everyone from her class learned good table manners and how to read proficiently. When I transferred schools the following year, my new teacher thought I came from a private school (her students were still sounding out words). Thank you Mrs. Castillo.
💖💕💖
Love it😊❤
I can just imagine how pleased Mrs. Castillo would be to read this. I pray she gets to see this, because it will make her heart sing. I remember doing what your Mrs. Castillo did many years ago with some of my kids at lunchtime. We often ate in class as a special treat when they got all their work done, & I would teach & check their table manners then. It's wonderful that you remembered - God Bless You, Marisol - ✌!!
I really love the idea of children learning manners in school ❤
That's interesting! I wish we'd have that kind of a teacher 😢
Oh my goodness what a glorious find you are! I cannot wait to watch all of your work!
It's dawned on me recently that I feel uncomfortable at restaurants and I don't know how to sit and relax, how to eat without making a fool of myself. Thank you for such a beautiful channel.
Welcome aboard! 😉
Coming from an italian family with academics and sportsmen followed by antique dealers, I was raised with all sorts of etiquette. This brings me so much childhood nostalgia watching this video.
World's ending and TH-cam be like.. "Relax, watch some table etiquette" 😂
Right? Lol
It is?
XD
"The varus" is really useful for programmers.
This funny though🤣I laughed like....wait😄
oh my god when i see this , i realise that i 'm a monster when i start eating lol
No, I am sure you are not. But there is always a path for improvement 😊
@@JamilaMusayeva to i
Same😂😂

😹😹😹
I really wanted to watch a video about etiquettes. I learned etiquettes in school like century ago but I forget everything because we barely use good table manners at home. I LOVOOOOOOOVE THIS VIDEO. THANK YOU SO MUCH
I’m so glad I came here. You are really pleasant and come across as respectful and proper. Excellent video!
Rules:
1. Don't slouch
2. Don't press your back to the chair
3. Don't place your elbows on the table when eating
4. Hold your hands on your laps
5. Don't place your bag on the floor
Dining table:
1. Napkin on your lap, dap your lips. Place your napkin on the chair when you go to toilet/on the table when you leave the restaurant
2. Right- glass, left-butter knife
3. Champagne glass: hold the stamp, not touching the bottom
4. Wetwide glass: hold the stamp
5. Send a thank you messages/flowers

Good luck with the new job!!

You are so welcome!
Very useful. Thank you for sharing. I'm glad TH-cam recommended me a video with an elegant lady who presents in a very understandable way a video, neither too long nor too short, on how to be comfortable at a dining table. I'm not sure in other countries, but a basic restaurant in France, even though it might not have all the cutlery, most of what you teach here is actually usefull and can be put in practice.

Never imagined, a video would come out on how to dine😂
as a kid, this is everything i thought the grownup world would be like....
Same
dude same
But now its only you commenting in videos 😂
Yeah... so disappointed
it is typically used by the upper class at formal dinner gatherings as these forms of eating etiquettes show you have class and have manners. i had to attend one of these "formal" like events for a huge family gathering in the past. half of the people there were wealthy, while the other half (myself included) were in the middle to middle upper class level. needless to say, it was quite intriguing to watch 3 different class structures. one being wealthy and having these subtle etiquettes that give a person "class" as well as their oozing aura of presence that is almost palpable. second being wealthy but lacking in these forms of etiquettes. basically having money but lacking in class. they dont have that much of a presence as the ones who carry themselves with that aura of godlike and class. you can probably mistake them for just being upper middle class. and finally, the common folks who lack in both money and knowledge of these social rules and manners but try their best to adapt and fit in to their surroundings so that they dont stand out in a negative way.
I love this. Could you please do a series on how to host a breakfast, brunch, lunch, tea, dinner. The correct etiquette. The way the table should be set. How to Ask guests about allergies and preferences. How to be a good hostess
Yesss
Yeeeeeeeeeeesss a million times!
Yessssssss
how about you use your own brain and just think of how you would like to be hosted and then do it that way? why let someone else tell you what is "right" or "wrong"?
@@anja-beveneberle3472 It's not even about what's "right or wrong", it's just seeking advice from someone with more experience. What's wrong with that? What's wrong with asking questions and learning?

@@JamilaMusayeva I met my gf at a beautiful bistro. At the end when we asked for the bill, the owner came over and said: this is my pleasure. You reminded me for much of my mother. Your table manners are impeccable. She's in Russia and I miss her so much. This was the nicest thing anyone has ever done. We left a 40% tip to our waitress. She was fenomenal.
and every country is different go to asia and it is very different than the EU
These are not social skills, most of people don't know or use this stuff. This is mostly for rich people who are dinning at some high-end restaurants. I'm sad you feel like you need to do this in order to impress people.
Good social skills would be helping an old lady in the elevator, holding a door for someone, feeding a stray cat in front of your building... Acts of kindness come in all shapes and sizes. Do that and god will love you much more than for simply holding a fork in the "right" way.
The Aliens: Write that down! write that down!

Generally i don't write on any video but i actually find this type of channel which is learn the basic manner which are people not much talk about it.
She's so like a princess...so elegant and classy lady.
Meanwhile me: well ⊙﹏⊙!
Thank you ☺️
Princesses pretend they are Jamila
I grew up learning this from my grandmother, it's a nice refresher, also great to inform me about the glasses...since my family never consumed wine or Champaign, that was always left out of my grandmother's etiquette lessons.
Thanks Grandma for teaching from early on ☺️
Extremely beautiful presentation. I personally like to attend formal dinner or lunch with this grammatical correct manner.
