- Most Nicaraguans like to appear helpful and will try to tell you what you want to hear, even if it is stretching (or at times completely altering) the truth.
- Most Nicaraguans are very polite and they rarely say anything that would be offensive to anyone present.
- For a foreigner to try to understand something fully, it’s usually best to “triangulate,” ask (at least) 3 different people the same question to see if you can arrive at an approximate answer.
- While many Nicaraguans are generally direct about surface things, i.e., a person’s distinguishing feature. E.g., age, weight, skin color, marital status, how many children you have, asking how much you make, how much something costs, etc.), they are pretty indirect when it comes to answering those same questions.

There’s a little verbal dance that happens in order answer a question without answering it.
