hahaha no there are two kind of gesture language 1) the italian gesture language (the most complex and expressive) 2) the international gesture language 3) the language of the deaf, the real gesture language i think
@@RagingADHD Yes there is a sense, Italians speaking fluently standard Italian is a recent thing, my grandparents for example don't speak any Italian at all. And what you think are dialects in Italy are fully different lenguages so hands gestures were necessary. Now almost every kid speaks both standard Italian and regional dialect but the habit remained, it is simply a fact of culture :)
My dad(who’s an Italian Argentine) moves his hands even when he’s driving 😂 he’ll take them both off the wheel and my whole family is like “Put your hands on the wheel!” 🤣
@@vittoealloggio3895 that's possible. Because in some part of my country (Indonesia) gesturing while you're talking considered as being mad or rude or even impolite, especially when you're talking to the elders
normally all these gestures are used while talking, i haven't seen my family talking to other italians only using hand gestures, some in this vid i actually have never seen, such as drinking wine, and a few others, that nobody would really say in a sentence in general.
Greece is wonderful! As italian our Father is the Roman Empire and is semi-perfect Low... but our Mother is the hellenic culture with the philosophy, democracy and art they teached to us.
@@giuseppebongiorno5364 Same thing here in Brazil, although we call them "corno" or "cornos" if there's more than one. This might sound a bit off to you, but our word for "horns" is "chifre" or "chifres" (plural); if someone becomes a corno we say "ele levou um chifre", meaning "he took/received a horn", or maybe "ele foi chifrado" meaning "he got horned". Not sure if they do the same in Portugal, so it might be something we inherited from all the Italians that arrived here.
I'm American, raised by an Italian grandpa, I've used about 75% of those hand gesters, never knew that I picked them up until watching this video. Crazy what you pick up from parents without even knowing
I'm mediterranean myself and in every single mediterranean countries (Italy, Spain, Greece, Morocco, France, Lebanon, Egypt, Malta etc...) we use our hands a lot (like for saying anything). It's a cultural thing like the over use of olive oil in our food for example ;).

Ciò che amo del sud è il modello greco dell'agorá: la città si vive in piazza tra la caciara delle persone e il continuo dialogo alla prima occasione. È un modello unico e che porta al perpetuo confronto con le opinioni altrui, utilissimo a espandere la propria apertura mentale. Mi piace un po' meno l'inevitabile "alluccare" che contraddistigue spesso le vostre conversazioni, ma d'altronde, se si sta sempre tutti a parlare, è naturale che sia richiesto uno sforzo in più per farsi sentire!

I had an Italian book for learning sign language for the hearing imparied, and it commented on the fact that often people in Naples can understand each other perfectly even if one is mute and the other doesn't know the "official" sign language, making it easier to be deaf here than in other countries :)
I live near Naples, and it is soo true. We gesticolate sooo much: there are like some words in the neapolitan dialect that I don't think I could say without moving my hands; it sounds crazy but they don't seem to have the same effect in my mind without the whole "gesticolating thing"😂

Shopping Rb ¿how do you know its not exactly, do you know what you are talking about?, we have the biggest italian innmigration. There is no other country that has so many italian innmigrants and roots. Over 65% of the country has italian roots. And no, we dont think we are the superior race of latin america, thats really stupid. And stupid of you to believe that shit. No one is superior than no one.
Los gestos además de ser italianos, son fácilmente entendidos por los españoles. A cualquiera del país ibérico que les muestres eso también va a saber de que están hablando. Por eso básicamente entendemos todos los gestos, porque nuestra cultura está totalmente marcada por la imigración europea. Tristemente toda la marca cultural nativa de nuestras también raíces aborigenes fueron borradas desde Sarmiento, pasando por Roca, hasta los primeros presidentes del siglo pasado. Desde que Sarmiento popularizó su discurso xénofogo y racista, siempre como nación tendimos a vanagloriar lo del viejo continente, y a despreciar lo autoctono. Y lo que dijo Shopping Rb es verdad, tal vez vos no seas así, y yo tampoco, pero sabemos muy bien que la mayoría de los demás argentinos creen que son mejores que los peruanos, bolivianos, paraguayos, etc, porque "son más blanquitos y más europeos"
Mare Maradin en realidad se mezclaron. he estudiado en profundidad la historia de roca y el mismo conto con fuerzas aborigenes de su lado. en realidad fue una guerra contra el cacique mapuche, que en sus malones venia y robaba el ganado y se llevaba a las mujeres y las tenia como esclavas sexuales. cada nueve meses aprox hacian eso. el ganado y lo robado de lo vendian a los ingleses del lado chileno a cambio de armas de fuego. el presidente anterior a roca les dio tierras para que cesen los malones, sin embargo volvieron a hacerlo. de todas formas ambos bandos hicieron cosas feas. tambien es cierto que antes y despues se ha menospreciado a los aborigenes. yo vivo en san martin de los andes y conozco bien la historia por que una parte sucedio donde vivo. hay 3 comarcas mapuches aca actualmente, y mantienen vivas sus raices, asique tampoco es tannn asi.
I Love everything about Italy and Italians they are the best people I ever seen I love their country Their food Their language The Italian people are so friendly and nice they are the best people in the World I think I well Live in Italy one day 😉 ------------- i. ❤️ 🇮🇹 --------------
One of the (few) things I love about being argentinian, is the gestures we inherited from Italians. We use almost all this 60, and the ones we don't are easily understandable
Same in U.S. in areas with Italian heritage. I use many of these. I laugh at some of these because I haven’t seem some of them in a very long time, but, they are instantly familiar. I remember being criticized for gesturing when I was in college. (It’s been 100 years and we are still not quite assimilated. Lol)

I love the similarities with our gestures in Spain, about 40 of those gestures are basically the same and have the same meanings, although we don't use them so much while talking. Though I don't know if other countries have so many similar gestures as well.
So ,I'm Romanian,living in Sicily since 2004. Gestures aren't always inherited , they are contagious.Everytime I go on holidays back to my country they know where i come from before i open my mouth.
actually, it's because Italy has been taken by many countries, Portugal and Spain was in Italy for many, many centuries, so they picked up some of these "body languages" for understand each other in Italy. After America discovered some of portugal and spanish occupant of Italy went in there, so Brazilian and Mexican's culture are very close to Italian culture. The Italian body language was made to comunicate between all the country when it wasn't a country yet, because, as he showed you, we had so different occupant in our country in the same time, so we spoke very diffrent languages (nowadays there still are those languages and we call them Dialects (dialetti)) and we couldn't understand each other. So we developed body lenguage to comunicate, and that's why we have so many hand gesture and why our hand gesture are so similar with brazilian's!
Marco in a BOX Mate... If I knew that when I first went to Italy, I would fit in far faster! I actually had a couple of friends teaching me the hand gestures later on. ;) I can't believe you found 60 though. I knew just 5. :)
I was so excited to see this! My fiancee's name is Marco and that is why I watched y'all. I am from the South in the US and my Momma is Southern and also does ASL~ American Sign Language. As soon as I started watching this I realized that he and she will be able to bond over sign language, albeit Italian gestures aren't as comprehensive as ASL. Whoo hoo I am so happy because hopefully they are meeting next week :) God bless y'all for doing these.
I'm Ecuadorian and we make the same gestures, in Miami as well- my Hispanic friends growing up, we made all these gestures. My favorite one is the hand gesture for perfect, we always did it to say "wow that dress looks perfect or you look incredible"😊
Loved the one of "It's not my business"/ "I don't care" basically it's like washing your hands. In Puerto Rico we use "Me lavo las manos como Pilato" with the same context.
Native Americans developed a sophisticated sign language for the same reason Italians developed hand gestures; they lived in multilingual societies. By the way, the Chinese have this same problem. Their solution was to develop a writing system based on ideas rather than sound. This means Cantonese speakers and Mandarin speakers can read documents written in traditional Chinese even though those are mutually unintelligible languages.
I really enjoy your videos! Italian gestures are very common here in Argentina (especially people from Buenos Aires tend to be very expressive with their hands and face expressions). I think it's because Italians have emigrated to many different countries, including Argentina. I'm proud of having a strong influence of Italian culture, it's so poetic. When I was a child I didn't understand why I moved my hands every time I spoke, after all I discovered the reason.
Being from the US, I noticed quite a few of these gestures have worked their way into our own tendency to indicate certain things, such as the gesture for "crazy." Although I gotta say that the language and the gestures have more impact when used together. I plan on traveling around Europe at some point in the future, so this video was both amusing and helpful. :)
Italian influence in Venezuela is huge !!! basically all those hand movements we make here in Venezuela, the Italian community in Venezuela is very large like the Spanish community. I loved the video I felt very identified, kisses from Venezuela !!
+eleonora medina you're totally right. I was about to say the same thing :D I'm from Venezuela and never thought we did so many gestures while speaking. It might also be because of my Italian family's influence, but still it's spread all over our country :D
Yeah, it's amazing how much we look alike as peoples, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese influence in Venezuela is very large. I loved your comment !! saludos desde Venezuela!!
Ananda D'Aquino the Italian community in Brazil is huge, my cousin lives in Sao Paulo for 15 years and now lives in Brasilia and told me that Brazil is a very diverse country like Venezuela has many influences from different countries and that's one of the things that BrazilIt is a very special country.
Qué bueno! Gracias por tu comentario! I'm really starting to think Italians are literally everywhere 😊 I'd love to visit Venezuela and the rest of South America. Hopefully soon. Besitos 😗
Ahhh grazie! Che bel commento :) Mi fa piacere ti sia piaciuto il video. Ne ho appena pubblicato uno nuovo sulle "regole Italiane": th-cam.com/video/K6G_clfRX5U/w-d-xo.html
+Marco in a BOX già visto e votato pollice su... ovviamente!!! ... condiviso su facebook... spero di raggiungere più persone perché sono orgoglioso quando vedo video italiani ben fatti e con buoni contenuti!!!
We use most of these gestures here in Argentina plus some others of our own culture that was heavily inculcated by all the Italians that emigrated here, it's so cool to realize we are so similar in this aspect of talking with our hands all the time :D
+Marco in a BOX True, you should mate, we have sooo many beautiful places where to go that I can recommend you, also you would get to know how similar we are in the whole cultural/food and way of talking aspect and our mores and things, we even have words derived from the Italian language adapted to our Spanish dialect, such as laburo and mangar that stands for lavoro and mangiare, or to call our grandparents nona and nono 😊
Grazie Mille Marco. I just recently started watching your channel. Even though im 61 years old i can still learn these hand gestures. 👌 Buone vacanze and Buon Natale Ciao.
Splendido xD da italiana è sia buffo che interessante vedere questa tipologia di video :) Ma il gesto che hai fatto all'1.41 per me significa anche "appunto", "com volevasi dimostrare" E quello del 2.02 pe me si riferisce anche ad una persona furba.. :)
Secondo me la gente non italiana si cofonde sia a parlare mentre gesticola che a guardare noi (che poi non sanno neanche dove guardarci viste le mille gesta😂) fare tutti quei gesti mentre parliamo😂
ahahahahah una volta un ragazzo mi chiese se per favore la potevo piantare di muovere le mani perché non riusciva a concentrarsi sulla discussione, inutile dire che sono scoppiata a ridergli in faccia poveretto 😉
Non mi ricordo, se non sbaglio russo 😂 era il padre di una ragazza che ho conosciuto, lei parla abbastanza bene l'italiano mentre il papà no, quindi poverino si doveva concentrare un pó per capire quello che dicevo, è stato un momento epico!
Hey! Very funny and interesting to know! I couldn't imagine we had so much in common! I'm French and I know and usually use about the half of all of these gestures !
I know Spain and Greece also uses the same hand gestures (especially since we're the most friendly countries to each other) But as reading the comments, I would never thought that other countries also used hand gestures to communicate to each other! (not sign language) Love from italy
Cubans made these hand's movement too,but Cuban movement are similar to Flamenco movement too.Cuba is a Latin culture,Cuba is very similar to Spain and Italy.
Here in Spain we dont have that much gestures or that complexity, but there are for sure similarities. Some gestures you used mean exactly the same as here.
Thank you so much for the information i am from bulgaria and sometimes we also use some of these gestures when speaking it proves just how amazing and spread italian culture is.
+•աɛʄe aċҡɛʀʍaռ•TM In discoteca noi ragazze siamo in grado di comunicare usando solo i gesti, possiamo dire qualsiasi cosa, per rimorchiare, per bere, per supportare un'amica che sta per collassare!
That’s’awesome. I m french, and we pretty much use about 75 % of the gesture you are presenting here ! I come from the northeast of France, where there has been a lot of italian immigrants back then, that’s probably the reason ! They also imported the body language !!

It feels so weird when you're italian and you realize how many hand gestures you actually do everyday.
So true Emma :)

2) the international gesture language
3) the language of the deaf, the real gesture language i think

really? You use some of these gestures too?That's cool!I really wanna visit Greece,now even more!😂😁
+Valentina Benelli That's great. You should visit our islands first they are beautifully! 😀😀
Well Greece have once been occupied/under the influence of Venezia. So it's likely that some of the hand gestures comes from that.
+Michael Simonsen Mainly our eastern islands, Rhodos and Create were occupied/under the influence of Italians for many years as far as I know.
Greece is wonderful! As italian our Father is the Roman Empire and is semi-perfect Low... but our Mother is the hellenic culture with the philosophy, democracy and art they teached to us.
I cracked up especially at "your wife is cheating on you" I mean who even needs a hand gesture specifically for that? HAHAHHA! Awesome video!
When Someone drives in a bad way and makes you risk to have an accident
Because this is a very common sentence to insult somebody and we usually use the word "cornuto" because a cornuto is who his wife has cheated on him

Tristemente toda la marca cultural nativa de nuestras también raíces aborigenes fueron borradas desde Sarmiento, pasando por Roca, hasta los primeros presidentes del siglo pasado. Desde que Sarmiento popularizó su discurso xénofogo y racista, siempre como nación tendimos a vanagloriar lo del viejo continente, y a despreciar lo autoctono.
Y lo que dijo Shopping Rb es verdad, tal vez vos no seas así, y yo tampoco, pero sabemos muy bien que la mayoría de los demás argentinos creen que son mejores que los peruanos, bolivianos, paraguayos, etc, porque "son más blanquitos y más europeos"
Mare Maradin en realidad se mezclaron. he estudiado en profundidad la historia de roca y el mismo conto con fuerzas aborigenes de su lado. en realidad fue una guerra contra el cacique mapuche, que en sus malones venia y robaba el ganado y se llevaba a las mujeres y las tenia como esclavas sexuales. cada nueve meses aprox hacian eso. el ganado y lo robado de lo vendian a los ingleses del lado chileno a cambio de armas de fuego. el presidente anterior a roca les dio tierras para que cesen los malones, sin embargo volvieron a hacerlo. de todas formas ambos bandos hicieron cosas feas. tambien es cierto que antes y despues se ha menospreciado a los aborigenes. yo vivo en san martin de los andes y conozco bien la historia por que una parte sucedio donde vivo. hay 3 comarcas mapuches aca actualmente, y mantienen vivas sus raices, asique tampoco es tannn asi.
"Well done" per me è "TE PAREVA!"

Aww thank you so much 😊 GRAZIE MILLE!
Moayad .alghamdi. Grazie 🙏
Grazie :D
Awwww thanks!
It's nice that lots of 'em are used here in Brazil too.
One of the (few) things I love about being argentinian, is the gestures we inherited from Italians. We use almost all this 60, and the ones we don't are easily understandable
Same in U.S. in areas with Italian heritage. I use many of these. I laugh at some of these because I haven’t seem some of them in a very long time, but, they are instantly familiar.
I remember being criticized for gesturing when I was in college.
(It’s been 100 years and we are still not quite assimilated. Lol)

Poi faresti un video dove spieghi che in Italia quasi nessuno suona il mandolino? ti ringrazio infinitamente ahahhahaha
Ahah sì, ci sto pensando ;-)
Io neanche l'ho mai visto un mandolino dal vivo.
@@eleonoraf7817 Io ce l'ho a casa. Era del mio bisnonno (o qualcosa del genere...).
La lista di gesti più completa di sempre su TH-cam ;)
Ah troppo gentile, GRAZIE!
Bello anche il tuo canale 😊
Marco in a BOX Grazie...ma il tuo mi sembra studiato meglio ;) In bocca al lupo! :)
Io molte di queste manco le sapevo hahaha
Tutti dimenticano quando prendiamo la fronte scuotendo la testa come a dire: che ho fatto di male per meritarmi questo?
Verissimo! Me lo sono proprio dimenticato. Facciamo così tanti gesti... 😀
Già c:
+Marco in a BOX in English that gesture is called "the Picard facepalm"
È molto simile al facepalm americano
I love the similarities with our gestures in Spain, about 40 of those gestures are basically the same and have the same meanings, although we don't use them so much while talking. Though I don't know if other countries have so many similar gestures as well.
So ,I'm Romanian,living in Sicily since 2004. Gestures aren't always inherited , they are contagious.Everytime I go on holidays back to my country they know where i come from before i open my mouth.
Some of these gestures have the same meaning in Brazil, maybe they were brought by Italian immigrants. 😉
That'd be interesting indeed! Do people in brazil use often many of them?
+Camilla Mazzatenta Yes, but not as Italians do. Haha... 😉
We use a number of these in India as well.
actually, it's because Italy has been taken by many countries, Portugal and Spain was in Italy for many, many centuries, so they picked up some of these "body languages" for understand each other in Italy. After America discovered some of portugal and spanish occupant of Italy went in there, so Brazilian and Mexican's culture are very close to Italian culture.
The Italian body language was made to comunicate between all the country when it wasn't a country yet, because, as he showed you, we had so different occupant in our country in the same time, so we spoke very diffrent languages (nowadays there still are those languages and we call them Dialects (dialetti)) and we couldn't understand each other. So we developed body lenguage to comunicate, and that's why we have so many hand gesture and why our hand gesture are so similar with brazilian's!
+Creeperahah98 That' s quite an accurate and intersting explanation. Thanks :)
Hahaha! They should teach this in school! Well done Marco! I like it! :)
AdviseMyStyle Haha! My approach to teaching languages :)
As you know, knowing this stuff is quite useful when you live in or travel to Italy!
Marco in a BOX Mate... If I knew that when I first went to Italy, I would fit in far faster! I actually had a couple of friends teaching me the hand gestures later on. ;) I can't believe you found 60 though. I knew just 5. :)
+AdviseMyStyle NOOO WAYYYYY!!! JURE! :)))=)) ciao Jure! Come stai?! How did you end up here :D un grande bacione !
Tobias Tran Lol! Sto benissimo, grazie! Marco is my TH-cam Manager and he is awesome. :)
Tanto ci metterebbero anni a capirli... Noi li abbiamo nel DNA
I love your videos Marco!!!! I am an Italian culture enthusiast and I find your videos very helpful!
Thank you Cameron. Glad to hear that 😊
I was so excited to see this! My fiancee's name is Marco and that is why I watched y'all. I am from the South in the US and my Momma is Southern and also does ASL~ American Sign Language. As soon as I started watching this I realized that he and she will be able to bond over sign language, albeit Italian gestures aren't as comprehensive as ASL. Whoo hoo I am so happy because hopefully they are meeting next week :) God bless y'all for doing these.
I'm Ecuadorian and we make the same gestures, in Miami as well- my Hispanic friends growing up, we made all these gestures. My favorite one is the hand gesture for perfect, we always did it to say "wow that dress looks perfect or you look incredible"😊
Loved the one of "It's not my business"/ "I don't care" basically it's like washing your hands. In Puerto Rico we use "Me lavo las manos como Pilato" with the same context.
Me lavo las manos...brilliant! 😉
In fact while we do that gesture we say "me ne lavo le mani", which means "i wash my hands", like Pilato says in the Bible
H Valentin we say the same in italy too! "me ne lavo le mani", sometimes italian uses "come Pilato" too!
Il "sei fortunato" ha anche un significato minatorio però
Actually, the "you're lucky" one has a threatening meaning as well.
+Me Stesso Medesimo "Te fo il culo" ahahahahh
+Gagarin si esatto hahahah
+Gagarin si esatto hahahah
"Ti faccio un culo di queste dimensioni!"
ma nun guarda e mani,guarda li bracci! ahahah Massimo Boldi😂
Native Americans developed a sophisticated sign language for the same reason Italians developed hand gestures; they lived in multilingual societies. By the way, the Chinese have this same problem. Their solution was to develop a writing system based on ideas rather than sound. This means Cantonese speakers and Mandarin speakers can read documents written in traditional Chinese even though those are mutually unintelligible languages.
Luis The Humanist that’s interesting
When I met my first Italian friend, two things surprised me. One was she kissed me so loudly and the other one was her hand were always in the air.
I really enjoy your videos! Italian gestures are very common here in Argentina (especially people from Buenos Aires tend to be very expressive with their hands and face expressions). I think it's because Italians have emigrated to many different countries, including Argentina. I'm proud of having a strong influence of Italian culture, it's so poetic. When I was a child I didn't understand why I moved my hands every time I spoke, after all I discovered the reason.
Being from the US, I noticed quite a few of these gestures have worked their way into our own tendency to indicate certain things, such as the gesture for "crazy." Although I gotta say that the language and the gestures have more impact when used together. I plan on traveling around Europe at some point in the future, so this video was both amusing and helpful. :)
Renzi will make you change idea
I'm falling in love with italians just by watching this video.
Mechelle Morrone brought me here. 😂
True..XD
Italian influence in Venezuela is huge !!! basically all those hand movements we make here in Venezuela, the Italian community in Venezuela is very large like the Spanish community. I loved the video I felt very identified, kisses from Venezuela !!
+eleonora medina you're totally right. I was about to say the same thing :D I'm from Venezuela and never thought we did so many gestures while speaking. It might also be because of my Italian family's influence, but still it's spread all over our country :D
Yeah, it's amazing how much we look alike as peoples, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese influence in Venezuela is very large. I loved your comment !! saludos desde Venezuela!!
+eleonora medina we do this in São Paulo as well... when I went to Russia people laughed at me to talk with hands, hahaha
Ananda D'Aquino the Italian community in Brazil is huge, my cousin lives in Sao Paulo for 15 years and now lives in Brasilia and told me that Brazil is a very diverse country like Venezuela has many influences from different countries and that's one of the things that BrazilIt is a very special country.
Qué bueno! Gracias por tu comentario!
I'm really starting to think Italians are literally everywhere 😊
I'd love to visit Venezuela and the rest of South America. Hopefully soon.
Besitos 😗
The best language tutorial video Ive seen yet!
I work with Italian from 2013 and I understood some of those masseges using hand. Grazie Marco
I love how you wear your hat, Marco! Can't wait to see more videos!
Haha thanks Johnny 😉👒
sei adorabile... finalmente c'è qualcuno che spiega il perchè della gestualità italiana!!!
Ahhh grazie! Che bel commento :)
Mi fa piacere ti sia piaciuto il video. Ne ho appena pubblicato uno nuovo sulle "regole Italiane": th-cam.com/video/K6G_clfRX5U/w-d-xo.html
+Marco in a BOX già visto e votato pollice su... ovviamente!!! ... condiviso su facebook... spero di raggiungere più persone perché sono orgoglioso quando vedo video italiani ben fatti e con buoni contenuti!!!
WOW! Grazie mille davvero :)
We use most of these gestures here in Argentina plus some others of our own culture that was heavily inculcated by all the Italians that emigrated here, it's so cool to realize we are so similar in this aspect of talking with our hands all the time :D
I'd love to visit Argentina. I would feel very at home over there 😍
+Marco in a BOX True, you should mate, we have sooo many beautiful places where to go that I can recommend you, also you would get to know how similar we are in the whole cultural/food and way of talking aspect and our mores and things, we even have words derived from the Italian language adapted to our Spanish dialect, such as laburo and mangar that stands for lavoro and mangiare, or to call our grandparents nona and nono 😊
Some are not complete, they may be explained better. But it's the better video i've ever seen that explain so well theese concepts! Grandissimo!
I love this video and I've used it countless times in classes in Japan to show differences in communication between cultures.
1:41 io sono solito usarlo per intendere "come volevasi dimostrare" o "tutto secondo i piani"
O come diciamo a roma il bellissimo 'eccalà' e il 'e te pareva!'
Infatti ha significati diversi
NerderGame L-E-2.0 'U sapev ji' a Bari lol
ECCALLÀ!
Ciao! :)Hi! I'm Italian and I want to say that you do a good video, you explain very well the italian gestures!
Grazie mille Carlotta :)
Prego!!!! Non mi aspettavo di ricevere una risposta..😊
quindi siete italiani??!
Mi sono appena iscritta al vostro canale! :)
Ahahahahahah, I' m Italian, this video is wonderful, I laughed so much!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love being Italian AND I think you are gorgeous Marco!!!!!
Nice! My great grandpa was Italian and I didnt even realize how much of these me and my family were actually using in our every day lifes lol
ė strano sentire parlare un italiano così bene in americano. Miracolo!
che lingua è l'americano?
+Pierpaolo Pierpa più che altro lo slang.. La lingua è sempre inglese ovviamente
Infatti è italiano o sbaglio?
Quindi io sarei strano? XD
+I Calarmati voglio un calarmato
fratellooo sei troppo legnoso, ho abitato in sicilia 20 anni, te li farei vedere io i veri gesti :) fluenti ed eleganti, dai rilassati:D
Most of them are used in many different countries, not only in Italy. That's interesting!👌
Grazie Marco, con questo video ho capito quante volte utilizzo questo linguaggio muto senza accorgermene! Siamo meravigliosi!!! :)
Grazie Mille Marco. I just recently started watching your channel. Even though im 61 years old i can still learn these hand gestures. 👌 Buone vacanze and Buon Natale Ciao.
Splendido xD da italiana è sia buffo che interessante vedere questa tipologia di video :)
Ma il gesto che hai fatto all'1.41 per me significa anche "appunto", "com volevasi dimostrare"
E quello del 2.02 pe me si riferisce anche ad una persona furba.. :)
Mi hai fatto piegare dalle risate! Complimenti davvero👍🏻😂
ih ih grazie 😂
Secondo me la gente non italiana si cofonde sia a parlare mentre gesticola che a guardare noi (che poi non sanno neanche dove guardarci viste le mille gesta😂) fare tutti quei gesti mentre parliamo😂
ahahahahah una volta un ragazzo mi chiese se per favore la potevo piantare di muovere le mani perché non riusciva a concentrarsi sulla discussione, inutile dire che sono scoppiata a ridergli in faccia poveretto 😉
+Antares nel cuore oddio non ci credo😂😂 di dov'era questo ragazzo? Credo che se ci fossi stata io mi avrebbe direttamente dato un pugno😂
Non mi ricordo, se non sbaglio russo 😂 era il padre di una ragazza che ho conosciuto, lei parla abbastanza bene l'italiano mentre il papà no, quindi poverino si doveva concentrare un pó per capire quello che dicevo, è stato un momento epico!
+Antares nel cuore già non capiva in più tutti i nostri gesti, fantastico😂
Ahahahahah
we like the italian gesture
it always means please
its great to show how to please something you want or need
I am so happy I discovered your channel through this video!
Hey! Very funny and interesting to know! I couldn't imagine we had so much in common! I'm French and I know and usually use about the half of all of these gestures !
Who needs Duolingo when you can use this video to become fluent in Italian?
Ahahah ho riso come uno scemo, in effetti non mi accorgo di tutti i gesti che faccio quando parlo :D Iscritto!
+Alessandro Murtas si ma non sono così accentuati tutti quei gesti.ita
but they are not as pronounced all those gestures.uk
Ci voleva un canale così!! Finalmente qualcuno che ci ha pensato!
Many of these exist in Brazil, that's amazing!
Most of these gestures are quite universal.
Well I’m Egyptian this is how we talk we move our hands all time even when we are on the phone
Ahh! Ti sei dimenticato il mio preferito: il gesto dell'ombrello ;) next chapter? :*
Ehhhhh ma quello è internazionale - non è una prerogativa italiana ;-)
+Marco in a BOX Già... i francesi lo chiamano "Bras d'honneur" o qualcosa del genere
perdona la mia ignoranza ma sei italiano?
perdona la mia ignoranza ma sei italiano?
perdona la mia ignoranza ma sei italiano?
So many common gestures with Greece!! Cool!!
I know Spain and Greece also uses the same hand gestures (especially since we're the most friendly countries to each other)
But as reading the comments, I would never thought that other countries also used hand gestures to communicate to each other! (not sign language)
Love from italy
Cubans made these hand's movement too,but Cuban movement are similar to Flamenco movement too.Cuba is a Latin culture,Cuba is very similar to Spain and Italy.
ayy Cuba represent
Here in Spain we dont have that much gestures or that complexity, but there are for sure similarities. Some gestures you used mean exactly the same as here.
Then I won't have any problems while traveling in España :)
Same in Greece
+Oscar Moyer I agree! And it was a shock to me to find out that in other countries people don't do the same :)
vuol dire che negli altri paesi del mondo non gesticolano? Seri? wow
W L' ITALIA
I lived and studied in Italy for three years and no one ever taught me how to do these gestures, however they come to me naturally!
Thank you so much for the information i am from bulgaria and sometimes we also use some of these gestures when speaking it proves just how amazing and spread italian culture is.
basta mi sono iscritta..mi fai piegare HAHAHAHA
ihih grazie :)
Normalmente non si fanno in silenzio questi gesti. Si dice la cosa che vuoi dire, mentre fai il gesto.
lol
Kim Rae Wook "Normally, you talk while doing this hand gestures. You say the thing you should say, while doing the gesture"
***** Che poi gli americani pensano che il classico gesto nella copertina del video, lo facciamo per ogni cosa.
+•աɛʄe aċҡɛʀʍaռ•TM In discoteca noi ragazze siamo in grado di comunicare usando solo i gesti, possiamo dire qualsiasi cosa, per rimorchiare, per bere, per supportare un'amica che sta per collassare!
non sempre io spesso lo uso sensa dire niente sono l'unico😅
Spanish people use like, 80% of these too, on a daily basis ahhahah
OH MY!! many of those are signs are used in American Sign Language! I knew quite a few of those hand gestures! So cool! thanks for the video!
That’s’awesome. I m french, and we pretty much use about 75 % of the gesture you are presenting here ! I come from the northeast of France, where there has been a lot of italian immigrants back then, that’s probably the reason ! They also imported the body language !!
Ho dovuto mostrare questo ai miei amici americani, in modo che non mi guardano come un teppista. (PS io sono italiano-francese)
I like that "your wife is cheating on you" is actually an insult to the husband, not to the wife xdd
Marco hai dimenticato il gesto dell'ombrello, per il resto perfetto *fa l'occhiello con pollice e indice*
Eheh il gesto dell'ombrello è piuttosto internazionale 😏
I didn't know how to explain our gestures so this video is perfect!
I remember those hand gestures with my employer.. laughing while watching. I miss them! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
