mamma mia... a noi tutti questi gesti vengono completamente naturali, li abbiamo nel sangue. negli altri paesi fanno davvero fatica, non solo a comprenderli, ma anche ad imitarli
Prima di TH-cam non avevo mai pensato che fosse un linguaggio mimico usato solo da noi in tutto il mondo ! ma com'è possibile?
Isabella Cicchetti noi siamo l'Italia beppe.W L'ITALIA
Luca Giangreco io li faccio anche al tablet quando non capisco cosa sta facendo (quando si blocca)
Vero a me sinceramente non piace quando persone straniere cercano di parlare o di atteggiarsi come gli italiani sembra sempre che vogliono sfotterci ... sembra solo a me ? 🤔
Per forza non sembrano naturali, devono pensare a farli. Invece noi li abbiamo imparati come abbiamo imparato a parlare e ci vengono snaturali, senza doverci pensare, come parte del linguaggio.
i'm italian, i can confirm everything riccardo said! :)
Leopoldo Licari anche io😂
Leopoldo Licari Everything he said it's TOTALLY true!!!!! 😂 Madonna quant'è vero della superstizione 😂
I'm Italian either and that's true ahaha
Leopoldo Licari concordo! everything Riccardo said it's true!😂
oh yes, every italian male do this😂😂
I'm here to support Riccado.. yes! we do touch our groin to avoid bad luck :-p (daje Riccardo)
Diego Tiberi hahaha dajeeeeee
Diego Tiberi not just in Rome! I live in the north, and we do that too!
yes, we do the same thing in the North
Diego Tiberi vero. io la trovo una cosa stupidissima e non lo faccio ma la maggior parte delle persone lo fanno, soprattutto le ragazze.. quando passa un'ambulanza anche
Non si fa solo a Roma, io sono di Mantova e si fa, non sempre però. Lo facciamo più spesso con le ambulanze che con gatti neri o altre cose superstiziose. Sia i ragazzi che le ragazze
Ragazzi, ma vi siete dimenticati uno dei gesti più famosi degli italiani! Il "non lo so"! Braccia aperte verso l'esterno, petto all'infuori ed espressione dubbiosa sul volto.
Dan Cor con testa abbassata!
..e magari tutti anche fuori un "boh..."
Ahahahahah
Fun fact. The "horns" gesture with the two fingers was introduced in the world of rock 'n roll by Ronnie James Dio, an american singer with italian origins. He said that he seen his grandmother doing this when he was young.
Una bella toccata e ogni sfida è passata, come non confermare i sacri gesti di Riccardo 😌
Roberto Vezio hahahaha daje
Roberto Vezio *sfiga
sì, quando passa un'ambulanza poi... xD
Ciao bellezza. ;)
In omnia pericula tasta testicula
5:27 Più che bored sarebbe "CI STA SCASSANNU A MINCHIA" nel mio dialetto😂😂😂
Federica Cuccia anche nella mia
Ahahahah ma vero!
Da me si usa in quel modo ma fatto un minimo diverso
Anche da me😂
la toccata di minchia è un must dopo qualsiasi gufata😂
Massimo Balmelli 😂
Massimo Balmelli AHAHHAHA
Massimo Balmelli AHAHAHAHAH
E non solo a Roma come dice Riccardo ma anche al nord si fa, secondo me si fa ovunque
@@umbertomaspero4560 si fa ovunque e deriva dal vecchio e famosissimo "tocca ferro" ahahahah
An italian guy told me about why Italians uses so many hand gestures. Before Italian Republica, italian peninsula was divided in a lot of different kingdoms with their own languages. And when Italia was unificade people did not speak the same language and they must understanding each other in somehow. HAND GESTURES :) (sorry my broken english)
I understand
Mi rammarica che non ci sia nessun italiano ignorante che bestemmi tra i commenti.. stiamo perdendo colpi
Alessandro Barbanti dio porco che bel video
Alessandro Barbanti Dio Merdaaaaaaaaaaa
ahahah dai per una volta non facciamoci riconoscere dio boia
Alessandro De Nardo infatti ce dio ladro basta madonna canadese
Hahahha grazie raga,secondo me il tipo avrebbe dovuto menzionare l' alto uso di blasfemia insieme al culto di Germano, più che l' abitudine di toccarsi le tette e cazzate varie
ogni volta che passa l'ambulanza mettiamo le mani sul pacco 😂
Claudio Antonicelli ma anche quando passa un addetto alle pompe funebri
@@ivancicala197 dipende! Se il carro è vuoto si altrimenti segno della croce, almeno a Napoli così si fa
Io quando passa bartolini
Va bene, sarebbe pure il caso di piantarla con la tarantella in sottofondo. A parte il fatto che è un musica che rappresenta 3 o 4 regioni su 22, fa sembrare l'italia popolata da tanti mario e luigi che suonano il mandolino. Io non ne ho mai visto uno.
comunque sono 20 le regioni
Alpha Taurus io adoro che ci rappresentino come tanti mario e luigi
Quanta verita cazzo hanno rotto i coglioni
Su 22????
ti dimentichi di corsica e parte della ex jugoslavia, alcune persone non riescono a non considerarle italia 🤣
Riccardo crediamo in te
Riccardo Pivetta che dici alla fine se le schiaccia?
NO LIMITS la ragazza inglese dai capelli rossi è sua moglie.
It's ALL TRUE!!! I'm italian
Massimiliano Elpidio Buro e allora parla italiano
Massimiliano Elpidio Buro yes me to
Giorgia Diana se vuoi parlare inglese almeno parlalo bene
Ma vai a cagare
leo heltai si vede che tu sei del veneto...
it'all true (a volte noi italiani non ci rendiamo neanche conto quando facciamo questi gesti)
34 years old born and raised in Rome here.
The gestures explanation is correct and they actually exist. But if you're travelling to Italy expecting to see this stuff in the middle of a random conversation you're going to be disappointed. They are actually very rare. I know these gestures and I know their meaning but I can't remember the last time I saw them in real life. They just work for a funny video on youtube but you dont see them unless you're talking with a 110 years old granny in some small country in the middle of the nowhere.
The most common is probably the "what are you talking about" gesture but it's still rare to see.
Everytime I talk with foreign people if I just raise a hand while talking they get excited! "He's going to do some italian funny gesture!! oh that's so italian!!"
C'mon guys... : D
Really surprised for Riccardo good accent ! Has he been in UK ?
Claudio Taccucci I think Coral is from UK so maybe he picked up her way of speaking
Claudio Taccucci yea i just got the accent from Coral xD
Alicja i have been to Scotland for a long time but the accent was because of coral xD
Claudio Taccucci Actually not all the Italians sound like Peter from Family Guy hahahahah
Alex Omion yea that's just a stereotypical portrayal haha because most Italians I have met had almost no accent or americanised accent. But that might be because i didnt meet those Italians in Italy 😆
Yes! I bet that last one has people thinking we're weird 😂
livefortodai probably 😆
I am Italian and I support Riccardo👍 thumbs up for his amazing guide to non-italians!!
Loved this one, all those gestures have always fascinated me -just love the Italian culture
I am Italian from Milan and I agree with all the things Riccardo said!! I don't know the last gesture though 😅 I think it's typical of rome's city... Sometimes I find a little offences when people just use at random these gestures and commenting on us Italians
No, quei gesti sono in tutta Italia.
Forse voi milanesi siete più austroungarici che a Italiani.
Agree with all things Ricardo said. In Buenos Aires the hand in the groin you can see it al the time and even on Tv when approching something seen as bad luck or when talking about a person who people believe brings bad luck. On the Ti ammazzo sign its done by biting the bent index finger.
I'm from Milan, and I've seen (and used) that "touch/squeeze my genitalia" gesture several times, mostly when I was young. I did not know there is a female version where a woman touches her own breast, though, never seen that before!
2:15 ahah this is so hilarious! I'm Italian and this video made me understand how many Italian gestures I do that in other countries have no meaning! 😂
You guys have to make more videos like this. So informative! And fun.
Zoe! Please please make a detailed morning/night time routine video. You talk about how you prepare yourself for your days so much but if you get a chance I think we'd all like to see your routines! Much love from the States XO
Well this was educational haha. I had no idea about any of these!
I'm Italian and love Riccardo's accent! 😍
Very compliments to Riccardo that's able to describe Italy with fun and lot of laughs haha
The 'power ranger' gesture in france means F U
the same in italy :-)
it means F U as well in Italy, it doesn't mean to tell someone off.
NonStopParis also mediterranean countries (it,sp,fr)
same in Italy
they meant "fuck off", but you can't write it on youtube if you don't want your video to get demonetized..
0:41 PAGLIA?????? PAGLIA??????? WTF?!? XD It's pUglia, maybe? XD
PurpleFex Si saranno fumati una Paglia :D
Stefano ahahaha
Yes maybe that is Puglia ..not maybe I am sure that is Puglia 😂
La paglia l'hanno nelle braccia, sembrano impagliate
PurpleFex come hai fatto a notarlo cmq sei un genio
Watched it with my Italian mother and she understood every gesture even though she doesn't understand english😂😂😂
XP Oh no!!
So funny! The video was wonderful! I laughed too hard at the black cat 'gesture' 😂
7:05 he makes the "what are you saying gesture" because, despite what he says, that gesture has mutiple meanings. For example it can be used while talking to express the core of the speech or an important part of it. In fact he says "That's the good of the italian hand gestures", which is the main thing he wanted to say. It can be translated as "That's the all point". The hand won't be shaking freely, but it will rather be moving slightly up and down.
zoey, you look so gorgeous!! thank you for posting your videos! I found them funny and very well done! I'm glad you like italian culture and hope you're gonna stay with us fr long!
You are so sweet :) Thank you so much! I hope to stay here for many, many years
ahahah god this is so my Nona's xD specially the bored one, sometimes I still do it and my husband stars like "wtf"? ahahah loved it!!!
haha 😂 love this!! will keep this in mind on our holiday!!
I'm from Italy, Riccardo isn't a liar! I can confirm that we scratch our balls to avoid bad luck. It is funny, and quite relaxing too. Really, you guys should try out.
I loved it!! Very useful!!! XX
Thank you Caroline :D xx
Hahaha the images and videos you put in are the best! 😂😂 I'm waiting for your video in Italian 😊
Love this!! ;D My favorite gesture is most definitely the 'perfect' gesture :) Keep doing these you guys!! Love you to Sadge & back! xoxo
L'entrata in scena con la battuta "Ciao bella!" è stata meravigliosa
It's fabulos
I was chuckling the entire video, but the crotch grab had me howling with laughter xD
Riccardo, si fa anche a Firenze il gesto della "fortuna" ahahah
Anna Petruzzo daje allora siamo tutti uniti dopo tutto
E anche in Piemonte, sia quello maschile sia quello femminile!
there are many youtubers always talking about Italy.you're definetly part of it
I'm italian and I can confirm everything Riccardo said ahah. For me do these signs is totally natural, I can't believe that do them is so difficult for people who lives in other countries, I laughed a lot cause I do them every day, BE ITALIAN IS SIMPLE BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPEAK TO BE UNDERSTANDED. Good video😂
This is so funny Zoey... I'm still trying to just learn to speak more Italian, definitely not moving on to using my hands any time soon :D
Lisa K no, please don't speak with hands...
If you want to use it, then don't always do it.
That would annoy someone
(no offense)
L'unica cosa che mi viene da commentare riguarda il gesto per dire che qualcosa è delizioso che è usato solo dai bambini (almeno dove abito io. Se lo fa uno grande lo si guarda un pò wtf).
Per il resto confermo tutto xD
I'm Sicilian and some of the gestures like the " good choice" one we use it as a "be careful" as well (occhiu vivu 😂😅). I laughed so hard at the "your sister" one 😂😂😂😂
Funny video, Riccardo is right...about the last one...not only in Rome...!!!LOL
I'm half Italian and still learning about my heritage lol 😂 but this was funny
josue umanzor allora ti piacerà la pizza TRANSLATE
josue umanzor The triad in your picture 💕
I am italian and I approve!
Lol! I love the references, all from "my time" (BSB, Power Ranges, britney). And the video is great, my grandma lived in Italy and i learned that "i don't care" sign from her. I do it all the time. And btw, the "Rock on" gesture is with your thumb in (otherwise is "I love you" in sign lenguage) \m/
When "You Drive Me Crazy" by Britney started i just died, thank u so much.
I'm Italian and I'm from Tuscany and not everything that Riccardo sad was what in Tuscany we do😘
Thank you for commenting Isabelle :)
Isabelle Ruthardt no you're wrong, I'm from Toscany and we do exactly what Riccardo has said.
Isabelle Ruthardt i can ASSURE you are not from Tuscany
😂😂😂 so good! . Where are all the Italians? Is the last one true lol .
Zoe you so cute lol
I can confirm, it's so common unfortunately XD
Totally true in Milan too hahaha
Sindy Jara it is, and it isn't used only in Rome hahahah
Support riccardo! we like to scratch things 😂. You missed the "i didn't do it/don't know" motion.
(Classica espressione co le mani in alto) daje Riccà!
I'm Tunisia ... and de gew up in Tunisia with the italian TV
And I recognize all these gestures lllooolll
Amazing Italian . . They are the best
The "I don't care" hand gesture has the same meaning in American Sign Language.
..a worse meaning haha. in italian it just means “i don’t care” but in ASL it means “f*** you”
Even in Greece we do the "good luck" sign but for us is a little different. We do it not to bring good luck but to avoid bad luck, something like knocking on wood (which we also do) In Greece though both man and women have to scratch their genitals (you imagine how embarrassing).
Smeralda_mar the same is for us, is what i said in the video about the example of the black cat
Smeralda_mar Also in Senegal people touch woods.
i'm from lombardia (north italy) and i confirm what he said about the gesture of "warding off bad luck". it's very usual
I'm Italian and the gesture 'bout "warding off bad luck" is the same here in Molise xD
I think that this gesture is common in every region in Italy, 'cause I saw people from the North to the South use this type of warding.. I'm not pretty sure about it (just like Riccardo in the video), but I think that it is really common and used almost everywhere 😁
we have similar ones here, but with some diferences, like "want Tô kill you" bite the hand but insted of Open with the hand closed! nice vídeo zoey! 🇵🇹😘
Thank you Cris :) !
HandMadeCris also in Italy it can be done with closed hand😊
Sofia Lodigiani i think is a Universal language :-)
Bravissima!
+Alessandro Sorace Grazie mille!
an hand gesture we use a lot here in calabria is when we talk about a thing that is happened a long time ago or that simply doesn't matter anything for us: we make a movement with our arm and hand from forward to behind...and remember italians do it better
I can confirm this is very true! I use a lot of these. My Mother is from Sicily and my Father is from Rome
Sì ma..... non gesticoleranno mai come degli italiani veri!!!!
Ci mancava il: EHH, VOLLEVIHH!!!
Riccardo is right, i'm from Cagliari and we do the same things.....and something more..... Grande Riccà!!!!......Dajeeeeeeee, video molto simpatico.
In Argentina We use all of the gestures shown in the video. Although some of them have a different meaning here. Gracias a los italianos por ese aporte a nuestra cultura :P
hi.i'm italian and i'm from naples
Ma quando devi uccidere qualcuno non si dovrebbe mettere una testa di pesce spada nel letto dell'altro?
no di solito è di cavallo, o gli fai trovare dei bossoli nella buca delle lettere, un topo morto davanti all uscio.
ci sono tanto bei modi per minacciare la gente :D
Mat St ah ok grazie quello dei bossoli non lo sapevo 😂
Riccardo LOL il cavallo Riccardo! Il padrino non ti ha insegnato nulla?! ahahahahah
Riccardo LOL é il cavallo
Si ma nel film di ficarra e picone hanno messo il pesce spada perché non erano capaci di ucidere il cavallo 😂
Hahahaha loved this video!!! By the way, the "good charm" gestures are the same also in Northern Italy (I'm from Milano), and much more used than the horns one :)
it's so so so trueeee! hahah i was laughing so muuch 😂😂
basically if somebody is giving you bad luck : " today you're gonna fall down the stairs" you can reply with that gesture as per say "im putting the bad luck you gave me away"
totally trueee!
You girls are so sweet and funny! Kisses from Florence 💕
Anna Petruzzo uuuu finalmente qualcuno da Firenze ;)
torniamo a hasa
MP_ox bisognerebbe fare un tutorial ai non toscani su come usare la c aspirata, viene sempre fraintesa😓😓

chi è italiano???
Il 99% dei commenti
Veramente lol sono americano e italiano, e sto imparando italiano
@@nexus_metal_covers9360 buona fortuna amico (good luck, dude)
i thought that some of those gestures were the same in america! really surprised! all of them are right and used A LOT!
indeed we do "touch iron" or "touch wood" to ward off misfortune as riccardo said (im from Piemonte, in the north of italy)
and we do it also when an ambulance passes by
Bel video. Divertente, ma spieghiamo che gesti come quello di toccarsi i testicoli NON si fanno davanti agli altri. Siamo il popolo che gesticola di più, ma non passiamo per volgari.
0:38 is Puglia not paglia
Absolutely correct and very FUNNY!
The touchingyourprivateparts-thing is something we also do in Sicily, or at least in my city (Catania)
l'hai portate a villa borghese eh? ahaha
#yoursister 😂😂😂
I support the italian guy.. I'm from Italy and we are so weird about hand gestures ahahah. This video's great!
the "scratch" gesture is widely used all around the "stivale" (I'm from Umbria, the Heart of Italy). Anyways, funny video and I confirm every gesture from the roman "neighbour" Riccardo. I thing I'm gonna follow you!
perché hanno il meme della mano :c
"Ciao bella" io ti conosco tu fumi cannella chi la pensato metta like
ahahahaha! Siete grandi ragazzi! Mi piacete un sacco! xD
im italian
still learning english
getting better!
Ittalish??? ITALIANNNNN
Loro sono americane non inglesi
Ma raga darsi il colpetto sulla mente non vuol dire pazzo, vuol usa la testa , non fare stronzate, tutto il resto okey
Riccardo totally said the truth about each gestures, especially about the badluck-related ones ahaha
Ah when you said ciao Bella was so cute .. Lol .
dark polo gangggg
shaker 777 ma la loro musica fà cagare
shaker ferro in mano, ... assegni, il mio culo sopra na bentley
I'm an Italian student, from Verona, and I'm not agree with Riccardo: the gesture with the hand in the mouth and the superstition one aren't used any more. In addition, in the north of Italy, we use the gesture for "What do you want?" and "I don't care" only with friends and not every single day. They are offensive with people we don't know and also with parents, because they may express impoliteness with them
Massi Razzo Io vivo vicino Roma, in un paesino, e qui ogni singolo gesto riportato è ancora usatissimo! (Anche in città, seppur si vedano meno); credo perciò dipenda semplicemente dalla regione, come ha giustamente detto anche lui :)
I don't agree*
Si: è così, ma lui non l'ha davvero detto nel video🙁
parla per te, a Torino e in Piemonte in generale è tutto esammente come ha detto Riccardo xD
non generalizziamo
Massi Razzo Io questi gesti li vedo fare ovunque. Poi dipende quanti anni hai, perchè io molti di quei gesti li vedo fare soprattutto dagli uomini tra i 30-40 anni. In qualunque città dell'Italia io sia andata.
Riccardo is right! I'm from Sicily and we use the same gestures here, even the ones against the bad luck xD.
bravissimo Riccardo,tutto vero!!!
Io penso che sia una grande offesa perché non tutti gli italiani gesticolano in questo modo
there are many more! what about "see... buonanotte" with your hand above the shoulder or " ma vaffanc..." turning your head back while raising your hand fast (the one that soccer coach love to do)?
Many, many other.
Anyway, I loved that video!
LOL all the gesture are super true! :P
I really like your videos Zoey, you're a really cute and funny girl!
Keep going!
i am from calabria and the thing with the black cat is absolutely right 😂👍🏼
