    Funny and informative. I grew up in an area with lots of Italian immigrants and already knew most of these. Man, I'm so jealous of bilingual/multilingual folks like yourself, your English is excellent and the accent is lovely. I tried learning Spanish in school, but had a terrible teacher who did the bare minimum and I'm not even sure could speak Spanish herself.

    • @tanishqdaiya
      @tanishqdaiya ปีที่แล้ว +2

      ​@@depressedkavi7673 Yeah, in India almost everyone knows 2 languages. And if they are from a region with their own regional language, they know 3. And then they can learn 2-3 more if they are really interested. I myself know 4. And one of them isn't even recognised as a real language due to so many dialects and differences in between.

    Credo che quel classico gesto della mano con le dita unite sia nato per dire ai rompiscatole "quanto vuoi per toglierti davanti" perché è lo stesso gesto che usiamo per indicare il denaro frusciante.

    • @giovannimoriggi5833
      @giovannimoriggi5833 ปีที่แล้ว

      Complimenti per la fantasia.
      Quel classico gesto è nato molto prima, quando giravano solo le monete. È un gesto complicato da spiegare, perché esprime l'aggressività della mano ma anche cerca di reclamare attenzione su un punto ipotetico sopra o dentro la mano attraverso l'unione delle dita, ed infatti serve anche a indicare la persona, soprattutto a livello della bocca, per sottolineare la necessità di chiarezza comunicativa. In un certo senso esprime un valore, un oggetto teorico, ma il gesto delle banconote è totalmente diverso perché non esprime un concetto astratto ma replica il gesto vero, come succede per esempio col gesto delle dita a mo' di telefono.

      You can do this 2:16. But place your hand just at the level of your chest. Better if you point the fingers towards the guy

  • @Ecosse57
    @Ecosse57 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    after watching some old italian films i've seen some characters make a gesture as so: it's like the "ok" hand gesture but the hand is help about upper chest high, and with the "ok" help over and horizontal, then lift upward quickly like pulling a threaded needle up. what does this mean?

    • @giovannimoriggi5833
      @giovannimoriggi5833 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's a little bit difficult without the context, because can be a couple of meanings, both positive or negative, and it's a little bit regional.

    the first (What!) and the (Just if you imagine) we Arabs use them. the first expression means (slow down, wait or wait for the punishment if you do it with angry face). the second expression is exactly as Italians (and sometimes when you try to explain the good days\moments)

    The "pazzo" gesture is understood in the U.S. Often you make a small circle with your index finger close to your head.

  • @kathyhayward2228
    @kathyhayward2228 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I already do a few these naturally like delicious and your crazy or Loco, the confusion for me is the hand to mouth gestures I need to know more. N I think MaMa Mia is something my family has said . But when you roll your fist 👊 n point it ? Does that mean let's go. I saw a Italian musician do this from about 5 feet away from another ?? Thanks let me know ? Please

    vai via and andiamo look similar to me. What's the difference?

    • @giovannimoriggi5833
      @giovannimoriggi5833 ปีที่แล้ว

      They have different energy and rhythm. The "andiamo" is more subtle and brief, the "vai via" is more aggressive and wide. The first one is usually with the fingers open and relaxed close to the body (often it serves as secret message), the second one with the fingers stiff and close together with the arm extended (often squinting plus other facial expressions of disapprobation or hungriness)

  • @zappababe8577

    With that "go away" gesture, especially with the whistle, it looks more like beckoning someone.

  • @jameswoodard4304
    @jameswoodard4304 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    What's the difference between "go away" and "let's go?" They looked the same to me.
    Also, to an American, that E finito gesture might look like you're threatening to shoot them.
    I realize that sounds like a joke, but I'm serious.
    Of course, most Italians are probably smart and considerate enough not to use these too much to avoid confusing us.

    • @marcobucci4375
      @marcobucci4375 ปีที่แล้ว

      Partly from the context and as he says in the video maybe from the position of the hand, lower for let’s go but for go away I would use another all hand fingers straight and the thumb folded in and a quick rotation counter clockwise along the middle finger axis… a bit complicated to describe in words 😂

    • @giovannimoriggi5833

      The "è finito" mimics the counting fingers ending to one (but no more one with the other finger). No weapons intended, LOL
