        Generally, like this: The two middle ones are the most common I see. I have one casement window in my house, but it just opens in one way, like in this image.

            I saw something akin to the second one in Spain, they don’t have a good reputation for holding against cold there

              Bah, the Spaniards are easily invaded, it’s the Russians we need to worry about!

          Canadian here, the most common I see is sliding horizontally. Our house has horizontal as well.

            Also Canadian, I’ve had horizontal sliding, single hung, and casement with that turning mechanism to open/close them. And I remember seeing windows that were hinged at the top and pushed outwards in high school. Not sure what held them open though.
