Besides all English-speaking countries &#8216;say cheese&#8217; is also popular in Belgium, Czech, Greece, Lithuania and Sweden, among others. Even in Japan a somewhat shortened <strong>&#8216;Cheese!&#8217;<\/strong> has become the norm. But photographer\u00a0Peter Skjold Petersen,\u00a0on a quest to to find the <strong>perfect smiling phrase<\/strong> together with linguist Tim Bowen, has come to the conclusion that the French\u00a0<strong>&#8216;Ouistiti!&#8217; <\/strong>(little monkey) guarantees for the most beautiful smiles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Another study, however, showed that an\u00a0<strong>&#8216;-ah&#8217;<\/strong>\u00a0at the end of the &#8216;say cheese&#8217;-phrase makes for a more beautiful mouth in the picture. But as you will see now, very few countries seem to take these findings into account. Instead, <strong>cheese, bread and potatoes<\/strong> seem to play quite a big role in all parts of the world when it comes to smiling!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">&#8216;Say Cheese!&#8217; country by country<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Argentina (as well as\u00a0most of Spanish Latin America): <strong>&#8216;Whisky!&#8217;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Belarus: <strong>&#8216;\u040e\u0441\u043c\u0456\u0445\u043d\u0443\u0441\u044f (Wsmikhnusia)!&#8217;<\/strong>\u00a0(Smile!)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Bulgaria: <strong>&#8216;Zele!&#8217; <\/strong>(Cabbage!)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">China: <strong>&#8216;\u8304\u5b50!
