languages:japanese:gestures
While not strictly language related.. which gestures are original and different from Germany?
pointing with the pointer finger to ones nose
meaning: reference to one self
German gesture: pointing to own breast
arm stretched and reaching forward, hand being flat, hand flapping up and down
meaning: come here
German gesture: moving hand and arm, as if one would “invite”, or wanted to move fresh air onto own direction
one hand flat and in one line with arm, hand is in front of the own face, hand/arm being rotated back and forth around elbow
meaning: no, as is “I have not yet tried this” or “that's not the case”
German: rotating head/face facing left/right/left and so on
both hands flat and in one line with arm, both crossed in front of the own face
meaning: finish, closing, for example: “I want to pay and leave the restaurant”
(none in Japan?)
German: both pointer fingers crossed, forming a 'plus', the finger ontop moving to the other fingers fingertip
typical accompanying sounds: ätschebätsch, nänänä
meaning: a kind of Schadenfreude
