• Greetings typically involve cheek kissing in urban areas or handshakes in rural settings. Direct, expressive, and sometimes loud conversation is normal; personal questions and strong language are common and not meant as insults. While punctuality is generally relaxed socially, business meetings require promptness. Key conversational sensitivities include avoiding discussions of Argentine domestic politics, the Falkland Islands (refer to 'Malvinas'), or comparisons to neighboring countries like Brazil or Chile. At meal times, it is recommended not to add condiments such as ketchup to steak.
