DEFINITION OF POLITE

• The Cambridge Dictionary defines ‘polite’ as “behaving in a way that is socially correct and shows an understanding of and care for other people’s feelings”. The meaning of politeness is simply treating people the way you would want to be treated. Who would like it if they were talked down to? Whenever you interact with someone, focus on how to be polite and courteous.

To be polite, greet people with a smile and a warm "Hello!" When you are talking with someone, ask them questions like "How has your day been?" or "How are the kids?" to show interest in their life. When they respond, try to remember the details of what they say so you can reference them later.
