    How to show 17 hand gestures, using a lot more! Thanks for sharing! Greetings from Greece. Doing the 8th in Greece with two hands, has the meaning of a lot of money, especially if you also say the word "Να, να"! 14th is the same in Greece. 15th one, we use it against "evil eye". We hit a table or something saying "χτύπα ξύλο", which stands for "knock on the wood"!

      Hi Giannis, thank you for your comment! Italy and Greece have so much in common🇮🇹🇬🇷 including cultural superstitions! In Italian, just like in Greek, there's an expression to ward off bad luck, “tocca ferro” (touch iron), which is akin to the Greek “touch wood”!

    In Italy we have dialects for hand gestures too and they may have slightly different meanings depending on when you come from in the country. I am from the north and I recognise all of these apart from "è morto".
    Let me add tha the difference between #1 and #2 (that you somehow mention in words adding "ma") is the difference between "why/what" and "but why... / but wat...". #2 implies disbelief or surprise for something that has already happened, while #1 is a bit more generic.
    #3 means that something obvious has happened. It means something close to "perfect", "as expected", "classic!". So the meaning "lo sapevo" comes from "obviously" said in a sarcastic way. (Yes, Italians do hand-sarcasm too). This gesture can also be used for a job well done (in a non sarcastic way)

    As an Italian, I think I never saw the "sei morto" gesture (I wouldn't recognize it) and as for the "you're crazy" gestures I'm only familiar with the third one (touching the temple with your finger)

    • @marcogiuliocamurri
      @marcogiuliocamurri ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I agree about the "E' morto" sign. In the north of Italy we just mimic the sign of the cross using the two fingers. More or less like the blessing from a priest.

      @@irenelapreziosa comunque Irene, hai fatto un ottimo video. Uno straniero che lo guarda può tranquillamente intuire che ogni gesto può avere significati diversi in base al contesto, ma che comunque non cambiano la loro “natura”. Per esempio 👌tracciando la linea, può significare anche “ottimo lavoro” o “perfetto” (almeno qua in molise), ma è meno frequente, in genere si fa 👌e basta, tenendolo fermo. Si può confondere facilmente con il gesto di “lo sapevo, ma le dita sono rivolte verso il basso! È affascinante come cosa.
      Comunque tutti questi gesti sono stati per secoli utilizzati senza alcun bisogno di spiegare cosa significhino, li facciamo e basta, ora tutto ad un tratto dobbiamo pure spiegare cosa significano, non è mica semplice!

    Sono italiano di origini bengalesi 🇧🇩, che ci faccio qui? E perché sto guardando questo video? Comunque, per il 13esimo gesto, per quello per dire "stai al mio gioco" tra una lacrima e un occhiolino, a me è sempre sembrato che si faccia così per celare l'occhiolino o per renderlo cmq ambiguo, perché altrimenti renderebbe ovvio ai terzi presenti il tranello. A me ha sempre dato questa impressione; non sapevo, tuttavia, dell'ultimo gesto, la spaghettata. Molto interessante ;)

    3. As I expected.
    4. Who cares?
    5. Ok.
    6. Too difficult or too long to explain.
    7. Let's go. (But if the palm is shown, it means "go away").
    8. Are you scared? Were you scared?
    9. No way!
    10.1 (not used)
    10.2 (not used)
    10.3 Crazy!
    11. Dead! (But the two fingers draw a cross in the air, like the blessing of a priest).
    12. Tasty!
    13. (not used, the blink of an eye means "get along with me, follow my lead").
    14. Approximately.
    15. Stubborn, hard to convince.
    16. Cut short your speech.
    17. Let's eat pasta.

    Non sono molto d'accordo con molte spiegazioni. Il primo gesto non va bene per qualsiasi domanda ma serve ad esprimere un momento di confusione o incredulità (non è che il gelataio ti chieda che gusti vuoi usando quel gesto, o tu chieda il numero a una ragazza così. Sarebbe aggressivo). Il secondo invece esprime anzitutto preoccupazione e si può tradurre con "come è possibile?" Altro che uguale al primo gesto.

    1 and 2 have not the same meaning. 7 Is used only in the first way. I never saw in my life first and second way of n.10. In n.13 you merge two different gestures: one Is "occhio" with the forefinger under your eye, It means "pay attention". the other one Is made with the thumb along your cheek and It means "Scarface"... A smart but shady person or way of acting

      I'm sorry, you can't just come here and write your incontestable truths. You should write "where I live, we don't use..." just out of politeness, you know. The 1st and 2nd gestures do have the same meaning, perhaps not always or everywhere, but they do in general. Same with nr 7. If you didn't know these 2 other ways to point out someone's crazy, I'm happy you've learnt something new!
      Ps. I do also use the two gestures in number 13 separated, but even together. I didn't "choose" to merge them together.

      @@fabiodv6999 The point is that the gestures I demonstrated are used by Italians, not just me, and thus are Italian hand gestures. Moreover, these gestures are used with the meanings given in the video by pretty much everyone I know. If you use them differently, or they have different meanings where you come from, that’s totally fine; but to STATE, as you did in your original comment, that anything I demonstrated was “wrong” is false, and unfair.
