I've heard Hebrew doesn't have the pleasantries English has. Of course it is polite, but it doesn't have those extra layers of formalness English has.
But basically is it a language/culture where people don't talk by inferring things and beating around the bush?
I see in the Bible it doesn't shy away from talking about bodily functions etc.. I do see some euphemisms. Are Hebrew speaking people not so shy about talking about those things?
