Etiquette Etiquette in Trinidad and Tobago

People in Trinidad and Tobago are generally warm and informal, so a friendly greeting and a few polite words before getting to business go a long way, while being overly stiff or impatient can come across as rude. In social settings, it is normal to chat a bit before discussing the main point, and in more traditional or older circles you may hear respectful forms of address and see a preference for relaxed but courteous behavior.
