Cross-Cultural Usage Tips
When used across cultures, since its basic meaning of expressing love is relatively universal, it can be used without worry. However, attention should also be paid to the differences in the degree of implicitness in emotional expression in different cultures. In the relatively implicit Eastern cultures, it may not be used overly frequently among those who are not very familiar with each other; while in Western cultures, it is relatively more open, but in formal diplomatic or business interactions, caution should also be exercised to avoid misunderstandings of excessive intimacy.
In social situations, 🫶🏾 is suitable for chatting and interacting between good friends, such as sharing the happy moments in life; expressing love between lovers; conveying family affection among family members, etc. It can also be used to express positive emotions towards people or things liked on social media.
In the workplace, 🫶🏾 can be used for relatively relaxed internal team communication, such as expressing admiration and gratitude for colleagues' work achievements. However, it is not suitable for formal business negotiations, reporting work to superiors and other relatively serious and formal scenarios, unless it is occasionally used among colleagues with a good relationship in a very harmonious and relaxed team atmosphere.
