Austrian, Viennese customs and habits

In Austria, green is the most popular color, and many clothing items also use green. For example, there is a gray flannel suit with a green edge. Most hunting attire is green. Austrians are warm and affable. In public places, Austrians say hello even when they meet strangers. When talking to your host, don't initiate conversations about money, religion, or politics (unless your host brings it up first). Austrians like other people to know about their national characteristics and talk about their achievements. According to Austrian business etiquette, it is advisable to wear conservative suits. Austrian businessmen are quite formal and serious, especially in the capital Vienna, which gives people a dynastic atmosphere where world-famous musicians such as Mozart, Beethoven and Strauss lived. Austrian names generally consist of two words, the first is a given name and the second is a surname. The name also consists of three words, usually a double given name or double surname. When addressing each other among peers, they usually call each other by their last names, and only within the family and among good friends, they call each other by their first names. People with knowledge and status generally like to be called by their academic and official titles, such as minister, doctor, etc. If there are several titles printed on the Austrian business card, be sure to ask which one is the most important, because if the title is misunderstood, it will make a fool of yourself. You must be even more careful when communicating with Austrians, and you must correctly name them with their real titles. Some people have "VON" in their names, indicating that there was nobility in their family history. Austrian women change their husband's surname after marriage. Even after divorce or remarriage, they keep their original husband's surname. Therefore, do not use the surname to infer a woman's husband's surname. It is unnecessary to call a woman her husband's surname.
