We also use that “fig” gesture in Turkiye. But we call it “nah”, but that is little bit rude to use, it is almost the same thing as showing your middle finger.
Thank you, a great way for the world to learn! Is to be allowed to share. Unfortunately governments and greedy rich are hanging on to the current budget like crazy. They do not want to pencil into the budget monetary value for the entire world population. I think if the entire world population voted, they would vote that the entire world population be included in the new evolution of the monetary system by the value being dispersed to everyone monthly. A number that makes it possible to live, save, spend, add versatility to the world. Save our communities, families, our resources for distant, far into the future populations. Thank you, have a great day.
It’s amusing how many of these are recognizable in the west, probably due mainly to use by the entertainment industry (and of course some of it brought to America by last immigrants over the last century)
Эти жесты знаю, но кто из показывает не знаю. Сейчас словами говорят и всё, без всяческих жестов обходятся. И сам я тоже никаких жестов не делаю при разговоре.
My dad was born in what is now Belarus way back in 1901. My mom's family was from Poland. I grew up monolingual and, I once thought, monocultural in Connecticut. Over the years, in gesture and thought, et cetera, I find the Old World, so-to-speak, lives on inside me. I use a number of the gestures you showed and, knock on wood, will continue to do so! LOL
It seems that other cultures have adopted some of these gestures too. Sometimes we humans forget just how close We All are. Love and Light from New Zealand. Love Russia, Wish I had Visited when I still could. Blessings.
We use all of these in Serbia and Montenegro and they have the same meaning as well . #5 is called шипак (pomegranate) [we use different gesture called figa: folded thumbs meaning to pray for our or someone elses success in something like "I'm holding fige for you to pass exam today"], children use #6 and sing: Mир, мир, мир, нико није крив, ава ава, ава, судија је крава. Kупус и печење, слатко помирење. Села баба на бандеру, попишала чича Перу, чича Пера не зна шта ће па од муке цепа гаће. Гаће су му скупе, види му се дупе. (Literally: Peace, peace, peace, no one is at fault, woof, woof, woof, the judge is a cow. Cabbage and roasted meat, sweet reconciliation. Grandma sat on the street light and pissed on uncle Pera. Uncle Pera doesn't know what to do, so he tears his pants out of agony. His pants are expensive, you can see his ass. 💀💀💀 I only seen two people use #2 tho
@@cvetvisnje wow! Thank you for your comment, it’s so interesting! When Russians want to pray for someone’s success we usually say (don’t show) that we hold fists for this person ☺️
I know many people are talking about the subtitles, but I think this was the first time I could understand at least a few things in Russian because of its resemblance to other languages, along with the gestures of the woman speaking. Plus, she was talking slowly and pausing. They were just short snippets, but I almost felt like she was speaking a language I understood. I think these videos would be great for learning Russian (maybe someday). It was also very interesting to learn about those gestures. I think I'll recognize the matching gesture for 'little', as well as differences like the one for 'I got your nose', the pinky promise, and touching wood to avoid bad luck but not in a specific way of knocking, and definitely without spitting, lol. I like Russian movies, so I think this will be really useful for me. Thank you for this instructive video.
@@CbI4 My native language is Spanish, but I also speak fluent English (I went to a bilingual school since I was 6), some Swedish, and a bit of German. I’ve dabbled in French and Portuguese too, but it was a while ago and just a little, so I wouldn’t say I really speak those. Maybe Russian is the next language I’d like to tackle, but I’m still working on polishing my Swedish. (Like I mentioned, I’m pretty fond of Russian movies). As for the gesture thing, I feel it’s more about culture than language. In Europe or Asia, they might have those things a bit better defined, but here in the Americas, it can be a little more complex since we’re such a mix of cultures. What about you? I’d love to hear your thoughts on it!
2:32 In Italy ‘fare le fiche’ was an ancient gesture no longer used today. Students learn it thanks to a verse in Dante's Commedia. Here is some information "The name of this gesture probably derives from fig (or pussy) in ancient veterinary parlance in the sense of ‘a more or less voluminous tumour [...] that is usually observed around the natural openings of the body and on the organs of the generation of domestic quadrupeds, and more especially of donkeys and mules’. The gesture of making figs would thus be an imitation, using the thumb, of the fleshy excrescences that grow on the genitals of certain quadrupeds. The origins are traced back to Etruscan and Roman times, where the gesture of manu fica initially had an apotropaic meaning to exorcise the spirits of the dead during the Lemuralia and has been found on many amulets. With the advent of Christianity and the consequent rejection of many of the pagan symbolisms, the gesture, defined "manu obscena", lost all ritual significance, assuming exclusively a vulgar connotation and is present in many literary texts and paintings until the 1600s. The gesture is also mentioned by Dante in the 25th canto of the Inferno in verses 1-16, where the soul of Vanni Fucci performs this gesture as an act of blasphemy against God. «Al fine de le sue parole il ladro le mani alzò con amendue le fiche, gridando: “Togli, Dio, ch’a te le squadro!”» ‘At the end of his words the thief lifted up his hands with both his figs, shouting: ‘Take away, God, that I may square them to thee!’’ (Dante Alighieri, Divine Comedy, Inf. XXV, 1-3 A rich iconographic testimony is provided by the many figurative trophies in Dante's poem, which unequivocally translate the gesture into an image. Today fallen into disuse in its original meanings, both ritual and vulgar, the same gesture is nevertheless commonly used in many regions of Italy, in an entirely innocent manner, in the childish game of taking a child's nose between the fingers Only in Sardinia does it still survive, either as an apotropaic gesture of avertment, or of blasphemy if addressed to the sky, or of ill omen and curse if addressed to a person."
there is a famous dutch paining that shows a military man displaying that to a lady of the night ! its like the ok hand sign in some country's it stands for a$$hole
🤣 We in Serbia have some of them almost same. Only not say " figa " but "шипак" . Little kids say : " мир, мир, мир, нико није крив " . And 3 times knock in wood is same : " да не чује зло". j = й 😉
The "fig" gesture is not acceptable to everyone. I said it verbally (instead of using the gesture) to a Russian lady who told me I shouldn't use the phrase---"fig" seems to be a euphemism for "clitoris".
Мы Турецкие тоже используем "фиг/фига" чтобы сказать кому-то (вероятнее всего к друзьям) что "ты не это получит". С другими словами чтобы подшутиться. Не знал что тоже Русские использовают это, а даже в таком же значении. Спасибо за это.
😂😂 my Russian mama used to say, figie z makiem pod barakiem. With that thumb in between fingers. As kids i remember it meant "nothing" you get nothing. 😂
Well, my girlfriend told me that if you leave the house, but you forgot something, and must return inside to get it, you must look in a mirror 🪞, cross yourself, and spit three times over your shoulder to prevent having bad luck. 😊
We do the same thing with the first gesture but the last one we toss salt 🧂 over our shoulder instead of spitting and we knock on wood as well here in the USA
I will write in polish as saying in polish will probably translate properly into Russian. Dawać w szyję 😉 jest podobne. Było pstrykanie, ale cześciej uderzanie bokiem ręki w nią na znak picia alkoholu. "Figa z makiem i tatarakiem" to pełna wersja do niechęci dzielenia się. Krótko "figę dostaniesz" . Drapanie się po tyle głowy tez takie samo, ale to chyba jak odruch bezwarunkowy, choc wydaje się mniej spotykany. Plucie za plecy i pukanie w drewno potwierdzam też. Dodać muszę że raczej niektore z nich wygasają i są zastępowane żargonem słownym. A szkoda. Pozdrawiam

#6 is Inter-Galactic Act of MOST SACRED BOND!! MOST SERIOUS SWEAR/AFFIRMATION!! MORE POWERFULL HAND-SHAKE+ CUTTING OFF LITTLE FINGER. FOREVER!! NO ONE BREAKS THIS CONTRACT, ON PAIN OF ETERNAL DAMMNATION!! ( unless one offers a Snicker's Bar/ Two Tootsie Rolls/5 Gagga-Gumballs/and an expired ticket to a Taylor Swift concert, as penance.)
Gesture no 2 (and another method is to touch / knot with theirs last little finger ) : when we were children at Gujarat , India this gesture used for, to break relation with friend! And to re-establish relation, both makes knot of each other's first and second fingure( near thumb)!
2:46 In Italian it's called «fare le fighe» or «fare le fiche» (lit. "to do the figs") - currently it is not very much used, though - and I think many Italians don't even know such an expression exists, and so they wouldn't be able to use it anymore. It seems the gesture appears in Dante's "Divina Commedia", too.
Fig is a fruit. Some gestures are global. Pinky fingers crossing are in u.s.a. movies. Knock on wood is common here also. We all came from Noah's family. Hey cousin!
In Portugal and Brasil we also use the 3 knocks on the wood, and some times we say the word "isola" at same time we do the jest. Both jest and word intend to prevent what was being said from happening, as in a kind of magic. Also in Portugal and Brasil we also have the "figa" and, what is more, the precise same word, "figa". Not sure it is used with the same purpose as in Russia. In our case it is a kind of charm to keep away the bad luck. Stay strong, Russia, we love u.
Oh I enjoyed your video, I've just discovered it! I'n learning Russian and love the language. It is quite difficult though. I took both German and Latin but Russian is way more complicated. Please keep up the good work 😊

@@kazimierzgaska5304 знаю этот жест, но первый раз увидела, что он так называется. Это название используется в Польше? В любом случае, не считаю нужным о нем рассказывать ☺️
@@IloveRussian Ponimayu Vas, eto była moya shutka. Da, my v Pol'she tak o niem govorim, niemnozhko shutlivo. Koniechno, sushchestvuyut i drugie nazvaniya. Tema zhestov u rossiyan ochen' interesna👍
😂 In India we use the 4th, 6th & first half of the 7th. However, we just use straightened thumb with fist tightened to show the 5th, also known as "thenga" The 6th is quite the opposite, it means unfriended,😅 when you use the little fingers to show your partner unfriendliness and thumbs are tied by the partners to show friendship, this gesture is used by childrens only. 7th one is only three times spit is often used in some rural backward places like in villages to say byebye to unlucky moments or evil spirits. I would say there are a tons of gestures in all over India✌️
In Yugoslavia figa gesture meaning was the same, but it is called "šipak"( reads as sheepack, means also rosehip ) and the phrase that follows it goes:" here, šipak for you" or just as an answer on proposal or prwdiction "Šipak" as " it is not going to happen". Fige was a sleng word, widely used. Expression " I am holding you fige" with the gesture of fist where all fingers hold the thumb translates as " I am rooting for you" and it is used when a friend has any big challenge in front of him, from an operation to the first date. So, two Slavic languages with the gestures if used in critical communication can make accidental war of misunderstanding between them :))))))) I love when things mix. You never know what is going to come out. :)
i love how the "fig" gesture is just like the turkish "nah", we use this for the same purpose too! but its rude though. thats why i love russians and the russian language, our cultures are so similar. love from Turkiye
#6 is called a "Pinky Swear" in America. Its confirms a promise, but not as serious as an actual oath. For instance, between kids or maybe to a girlfriend. If you made a commitment to a girlfriend, for instance, she might say "pinky swear" to confirm your seriousness. A broken "pinky swear" promise could be either quite serious, or not serious at all, depending on circumstances. A friend who's kind of a expert on such things said the idea is that if I'm lying you can break my little finger. Also, there used to be "pinky wrestling" between mostly little boys. It was not as serious as a fist fight, but to settle small matters. I doubt if this is still a thing because I've never seen my grandkids doing it. Of course kids don't fight anymore, they go to counselors for anger management. Wimps! The old ways worked better because nothng ever gets setteled now. Back then in a conflict, even if you were sure you were in the right, you had to consider if it was worth a black eye, a broken jaw or a broken little finger to escalate to a physical conflict. Kinda like sword fighting in the old days. One other regional thing you might be interested in. I grew up in the South, but worked up Northeast for about 10 years. In visiting in the homes of Yankees I was astonished at the volume and actual yelling that went on between family members, even children and parents. I told a friend one time I'd prefer not to go to his house anymore because of the tension. I told him, down South you don't yell at someone until right before your fist hits his nose. I have always suspected Russians may behave somewhat like Southerners in personal relations. Thanks for your report. BTW, allow me to apologize for ungracious comments referring to Ukraine. These idiots were educated by the American system in the last 40 years or so and were taught absolutely nothing about history. For instance, that Katherine The Great founded the city of Odessa in 1777, one year after America was founded. But Russia existed as a country for at least 3,000 years before that. Always wanted to visit Russia, almost worked there one time for the oil business, but I'm way too old now. Thanks for your report. I'm from Texas, btw.
Soy d México. En español decimos "toco madera" para indicar que no queremos que suceda algo que se ha mencionado en la conversación, como un accidente, enfermedad, pérdida, mala suerte. Es para espantar el mal presentimiento o mala suerte, mal espíritu.

Very cute and interesting and you’re a gorgeous woman😊🎉❤
@@sammasiello8414 thank you 😊
One thing I have learnt in my life is to be very, very careful with gestures, especially when travelling...😅
Most of those Gestures are also used in Germany and some other western Countries.
Interesting. Thank you for sharing.
I think the "fig" sign could possibly be misconstrued 🙂
I like the pinky finger make peace and no more fighting for kids :) It's sweet
Russians don't know what Peace is sadly... murdering children is more their thing
Не учите их употреблять "зуб даю" - в современном мире это ассоциируется с чем-то преступным.

Oh I enjoyed your video, I've just discovered it!
I'n learning Russian and love the language. It is quite difficult though. I took both German and Latin but Russian is way more complicated.
Please keep up the good work 😊
Thank you so much ☺️ I didn’t study German but I heard that it’s very difficult too ☺️
Really enjoyed it thankuou
Наконец-то! Я рад, что существуют такие русскоязычные инфлюенсеры как Вы, которые говорят медленнее, чтобы иностранцы могли легче понять. Большое спасибо! Кстати, контент имба. Продолжайте в том же духе!
Спасибо за добрые слова ☺️

😂 In India we use the 4th, 6th & first half of the 7th.
However, we just use straightened thumb with fist tightened to show the 5th, also known as "thenga"
The 6th is quite the opposite, it means unfriended,😅 when you use the little fingers to show your partner unfriendliness and thumbs are tied by the partners to show friendship, this gesture is used by childrens only.
7th one is only three times spit is often used in some rural backward places like in villages to say byebye to unlucky moments or evil spirits.
I would say there are a tons of gestures in all over India✌️
Very funny video , I have subscribed to your channel from Fiji .
Thanks .
In Yugoslavia figa gesture meaning was the same, but it is called "šipak"( reads as sheepack, means also rosehip ) and the phrase that follows it goes:" here, šipak for you" or just as an answer on proposal or prwdiction "Šipak" as " it is not going to happen".
Fige was a sleng word, widely used.
Expression " I am holding you fige" with the gesture of fist where all fingers hold the thumb translates as " I am rooting for you" and it is used when a friend has any big challenge in front of him, from an operation to the first date.
So, two Slavic languages with the gestures if used in critical communication can make accidental war of misunderstanding between them :)))))))
I love when things mix. You never know what is going to come out. :)
The figa is well known in Brazil as a sign of good luck. You can buy wooden ones to carry around.
I m surprised similar sign
Used in Gujrat India m fm
Saurashtra...we used it
Child hood games..and
Friend in study...very pleasent to me...
The knock on wood and head scratching are the same in the U.S. But the “give a tooth” gesture has a harsher meaning - maybe from Italy.
i love how the "fig" gesture is just like the turkish "nah", we use this for the same purpose too! but its rude though. thats why i love russians and the russian language, our cultures are so similar. love from Turkiye
Same in Greece!
The last one is familiar, it is knock on wood, when you hope for the best.
What about this 🖕🏼this work also
#6 is called a "Pinky Swear" in America. Its confirms a promise, but not as serious as an actual oath. For instance, between kids or maybe to a girlfriend. If you made a commitment to a girlfriend, for instance, she might say "pinky swear" to confirm your seriousness. A broken "pinky swear" promise could be either quite serious, or not serious at all, depending on circumstances.
A friend who's kind of a expert on such things said the idea is that if I'm lying you can break my little finger. Also, there used to be "pinky wrestling" between mostly little boys. It was not as serious as a fist fight, but to settle small matters. I doubt if this is still a thing because I've never seen my grandkids doing it. Of course kids don't fight anymore, they go to counselors for anger management. Wimps! The old ways worked better because nothng ever gets setteled now. Back then in a conflict, even if you were sure you were in the right, you had to consider if it was worth a black eye, a broken jaw or a broken little finger to escalate to a physical conflict. Kinda like sword fighting in the old days.
One other regional thing you might be interested in. I grew up in the South, but worked up Northeast for about 10 years. In visiting in the homes of Yankees I was astonished at the volume and actual yelling that went on between family members, even children and parents. I told a friend one time I'd prefer not to go to his house anymore because of the tension. I told him, down South you don't yell at someone until right before your fist hits his nose.
I have always suspected Russians may behave somewhat like Southerners in personal relations.
Thanks for your report. BTW, allow me to apologize for ungracious comments referring to Ukraine. These idiots were educated by the American system in the last 40 years or so and were taught absolutely nothing about history. For instance, that Katherine The Great founded the city of Odessa in 1777, one year after America was founded. But Russia existed as a country for at least 3,000 years before that.
Always wanted to visit Russia, almost worked there one time for the oil business, but I'm way too old now.
Thanks for your report. I'm from Texas, btw.

Ohhhh, I know THIS One!!!!
IT'S, "I GOT YOUR NOSE!!!!!"
HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!! 😂
Soy d México. En español decimos "toco madera" para indicar que no queremos que suceda algo que se ha mencionado en la conversación, como un accidente, enfermedad, pérdida, mala suerte. Es para espantar el mal presentimiento o mala suerte, mal espíritu.
Gesture 2 - and I thought I was just chewing my nails
Gesture 7 - we cross our fingers
Interesting video 👍
