It's well known that some gestures mean different things in different parts of the world. In some places such as britain, this means everything okay, while in brazil and other places it's considered a scene. And in still other places are just japan. IT means money. In italy, they might make this sign to emphasize a point. While in Jordan that can mean way to second, certain things often have gestures for them. For instance, in most places where drinking alcohol is popular, there's a sign for drinking or getting drunk in the U. S. Is this . while in france . they grab and twist their nose, and in russia they flick . their throat? On the other hand. some places have more or less unique gestures in russia to say, you're making things too complicated. You scratch your ear by going around the back . of your head among the . most common. And probably all this gestures are nothing for yes and shaking the head for no. But even this is a universal. Bulgarians are famous for shaking their head to mean yes and nodding with a click of the tongue to me, no. And in south asia, they have a third option, which involves tilting the head from side to side. It's used to acknowledge the person speaking to you, although in some context, IT can also mean approval . or even uncertainty.
