![English Word Differences!! [Spain vs France vs Italy]](/img/n.gif)
Italy developed 250 hand gestures, more than any other country. It’s like a sign language of it’s own. They can totally comunicate without saying a word!
No, we can't comunicate with gestures without saying a word! What is the source of your informations?
@@GiuseppeMedau well yes, we easly can have basic conversations just with gestures.
@@Cosmopavone Sì, come in tutti i Paesi al mondo. Poi, che tipo di conversazione avresti solo con i gesti? Dai, facciamo i seri. E poi l'utente non ha detto che possiamo avere conversazioni basilari (tra l'altro, affermazione tutta da dimostrare), ma ha detto che possiamo comunicare interamente senza parlare. Roba da matti
ah yes? Italy is so wonderful we all know
More than that, they have plenty of body language in soccer! I kid! 😂
As a French person, I've never seen these hand gestures before (except the tipsy/nose one). We use plenty in France, although not as much as Italians, so they could've chosen better ones :(((
Some examples could've been :
For money, we rub our fingers with our thumb
When not interested/sick about something, we "throw" or "swipe" our hand above our head
Or when we're fed up, we put our hands (as if you're holding an imaginary ball) underneath our chin.
We literally have an expression for that, "avoir les boules" which means "having balls" = being rlly angry/frustrated
We also have the same gestures you described in Italy, and with the same meaning. Except that the second and third are slightly different, but just barely, and certainly seeing them an Italian would easily understand them, just as I believe a French would easily understand the Italian ones. The first one, however, is identical. If you describe the last one you said better, I can tell you whether we have it too or not.
@@raffaelefederico5427 Oh wow! I didnt know that, thats so interesting.
And as for the last one, its kinda hard to explain a hand gesture with words. But like, u slightly fold the fingers of ur hand for it to be in a round shape/concave (as if u where holding a small ball). Same thing for the other hand. Then u just put them in front of your throat/under ur chin and we generally roll our eyes to accentuate the whole thing lol (but tbh, its not that used anymore, people just complain verbally nowadays)
@@sarablais2744 Thanks for the explanation friend. No, I've never seen the third gesture, I really don't think it exists in Italy. Even the second one, if I think about it carefully, is actually very different from the one you describe, both in form, given that we make it much smaller and less showy than the one you describe, but also slightly in meaning (if I understand what you mean correctly) , we mostly just use it to say "poof! This thing is irrelevant!", "what do we care!", or simply, "who cares!". The only one that is exactly the same is the first, that of money. And do you know a curiosity about it? This same gesture, identical and precise, also exists in Japan, only that there it has a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT meaning! It's a vulgar gesture, which is never done in public, it's used to explicitly invite a person to have sex with you, in practice it means "do you want to do dirty things with me?"... Yeah... 😂😂 Stranger thiks of the world!!
@@raffaelefederico5427 No prob friend, that was a interesting conversation. Ill be sure to note not to do that handgesture if a ever go to Japan xD
@@sarablais2744 Well... maybe if you meet someone you like... in private... it might even come in handy, who knows! Never say never in life! 😂😂😂
Sofia's translation of the no money" gesture ->"I have two candles" isn't exactly right. It needs context to be understandable.
Velas means candles, yes. But in the gesture we use the other meaning of vela, which is vela de mocos: snot, specifically runny nostril.
The saying "estar a dos velas" / " to be at two candles" comes from the old times illegal card games where the banker stayed at the end of the game to count the money left for the bank at the light of two candles and many times, there wasn't much left. That's where the saying comes from: The gesture signaling the snot under your nostrils ->2 mocos/2 snots -> hence comes the wordplay, 2 mocos/2 snots = 2velas/2 candles, which connects with the saying, "estar a 2 velas", that means to have no money left.
I think italy 🇮🇹 is the easiest country to guess hand gestures for obvious reasons , even though many others also use hand gestures 😂
Japan is first!
I went to Italy this year and saw a girl speaking about a Casa (house) and made a house form with her hands, I was howling in my head 😂
@@sirijawVery credible story.
@@GiuseppeMedauMa dai, come se non avessi mai fatto il gesto della casina col tetto spiovente e i muri. Guarda la gente sui bus, sui treni, che parla e ne vedrai un sacco.
Ma poi, perché cazzo una parte di noi italiani è così triggerata dal cibo, dalle canzoni tradizionali, dai gesti o dall'atteggiamento simpatico? Sono cose NEUTRE o POSITIVE, potremmo essere come i britannici, bestie alcoliste, o i tedeschi, incazzosi workaholici (quando non direttamente nazi). Boh fate pace con voi stessi, le cose da cambiare sono altre. Non è per i gesti o il calore umano (stereotipico, sottolineo) che siamo considerati inaffidabili.
Propaganda of ÍtaloAmerican people in USA. Frenchs and Spaniards we went to other places so not propaganda. Easy.
As an Indonesian myself, I can't guess any of their gesture. I'll get zero for this. Haha
I have to say Sofia(Italian lady) has been quite a welcome addition to the channel. Funny,witty,have the looks of Taylor Momsen and a young Monica Belluci.
È davvero simpatica❤ ma non assomiglia per nulla alla Bellucci ma piuttosto a Mina!!!è molto simile😅 ciao Sofiaaaa😍
Sure she has the look of Amanda Seyfried
@@dharmarc83 Seee vabbè...Allora più che MIna...Patty Pravo, no?
this content is fun to watch! it'd be nice to see the otherr countries in this kind of video too!
- Can you do something really typical of your country?
Spaniards: EEEEEEEEEEEEE...
Im a simple man, I see Sofia I click.
What? I'm from France but I have no idea what any of her gestures meant, never seen them before. Her accent doesn't sound french to me either. I would have never guessed her right
Mais si le coup dans le nez pour dire de quelqu’un qu’il a trop bu c’est connu !
I’m just as lost as the Indonesian girl 😂 Of course we use gestures as well in Indonesia, but these are completely foreign to me. I guess body language is just like any other type of language, it’s unique to every country. But at the same time, there are universal ones, especially when it comes to taking the piss out of someone 😁
Sofia is gorgeous 😍
Is she really french ? we have so much other popular gestures than the two first she is doing.
I recognised more Italian and Spanish gestures than supposed "french gestures".
North African, probably.
Interesting topic again. Thanks!
This whole talk is cute, many difficult words in our mother tongues or work languages are only accessible with gestures.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes,in Italy we use the same gesture to indicate fear or a crowded place but also to say " don't digress, get to the ponit"
"get to the point" is the same gesture but with both hands in my opinion... -> stringi
Nope, that one is done with your fingers flexed, like opening and closing into a fist, palm facing up. The fear/crowded gesture is made with the fingers extended, tips touching, palms up. Like she said, depending on repetitions it can mean either fear or crowded. The gesture per sé basically means "tight".
In Spain we have a lot of gestures and we have some short sentences that can say only with gestures like " It's very crowded, let's go from here". This sentence has two gestures and we use it a lot when we are in bars or clubs
Cuanta razón con el gesto de "estoy a dos velas" jajajajajajaja
As an Italian i guessed all of them correctly 😸
Bravooo
Is Alba Andalusian or Canarian? She drop some "s" letters like in "ehtoy a do' vela". Pretty accent from a pretty girl.
I’m from Andalucia! Hehehe
@👍👍👍 Bonito acento, me gusta el acento Andaluz y el de las Islas Canarias.
Italy, I knew from the first hand jester, because I know that it’s similar to the sign language of “good” in italian sigh lanuage
Wow, I didn't know that, for some reasons, I thought that it was world wide understandble... In Italy that gesture is used especially with children
¡guau! Sorprendente, esa comparación con mi país ? Jeje creo que sería muy distintos entre nuestro y las lenguas romances y inglés 😊
Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
Wah ada indonesia coy 😮😮😮 🙉🙉🙉🤑🤑🤑☝️☝️☝️🇮🇩🎉🎉
Ada cewek indonesianya juga 😲😲
Norak, bisa biasa aja ngk, dari dulu juga udah banyak orang indo di channel ini ngab😂
Bikin malu loe
Hah
@@marco-sr4nm
3:17 this gesture is for cursing in sign language that deaf/mute poeople use
As an Italian-american our version of the flip of the hand from under the chin is far more offensive than "I don't care".
She is said the family friendly version of the gestures . The " i don't care" it's more "i don't fucking care" =nun me ne futte . And she used the stereotypical hand gesture of " i don't understand " because the majority of the time( not always) we use it when we are angry and we don't understand. If a Roman do that it's probably gonna start a fight
Sound more like me ne sbatto i coglioni in reality
The Italian “I don’t care” is “F U” in America that’s why it looked so familiar to her 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well in a rough situation, when people are fighting, it can mean "fuck you": from "I don't care" (better, I don't give a fuck), the meaning adapts to "idc about what you have to say, about you, come at me, I'm ready".
as a french guy (well not living in France since 15 years) I have never seen the gestures she made at the beginning in France 🤣(except the tipsy one). I consider myself still young (38) but who knows maybe it's a new generation thing 😂. Before the final decision they heard all the accents, was kind of hard to get it wrong, but they still got 2 wrong 😂. Interesting video :)
Same, didn't know which one was our compatriote until the very end, never seen these gestures before either, sauf celui du nez
(peut-être parce que je ne vie pas en France non plus mdr)
@@sarablais2744 ah ouais celui du nez me disait rien. Mais ça doit être quelque chose qu'ils utilisent tous les jours ou presque et comme on est plus en France pour nous c'est comme du chinois 😅
@@NicoMCH666 En tant que personne vivant en France, je peux vous assurer que je ne connais absolument pas ces gestes (sauf celui du nez)😂
Pareil pour moi ,je suis français de 46 ans et appart le geste de "je suis bourré",les autres sont connus que d'elle je crois
Good idea for more videos and other countries! Violin's mic was not placed very well though, could not hear her as much :S
Greetings to Alba! Hope to see her more here🤗🇪🇸❤
Aw thank you 🥰 You will see more videos where I will come out in this channel! Hope you enjoy them too!
@ Your accent is from the south , you are maybe the first andalusian in WF.
where do you find so many Spaniards lol
all over the world lol
The Italian girl is the definition of a goddess of beauty 👑
So glad you avoided the UK with this one, good job.
This is not easy to guess if you're french because we share a lot of gestures with the Italians. The opening and closing hand (like a clam) is also very common in France. It means you're scared. I actually thought she was french, because the others didn't have any recognisable ones.
I actually guessed some correct based on my American Sign Language knowledge 🤔
Ennamoo! Finally an American that admits that they too use hands when they talk . Imagine people that when they talk their entire body is frozen aside from their mouth
Tutti i popoli li usano, in America hanno un linguaggio a gesti con cui comunicano le gang, però c'è 'sto ridicolo pregiudizio verso gli italiani
In America muovono le mani ma non hanno minimamente tanti gesti quanti ne abbiamo noi e tanti altri Paesi del nostro pianeta.
@@GiuseppeMedauQuale pregiudizio, che abbiamo gesti specifici della nostra cultura? Sì, è vero e non me ne vergogno. Se voi sì, avete un complesso d'inferiorità enorme. Qui userei il gesto "fottetevene", mento alzatissimo perché non gli siamo inferiori in alcun modo
@@lorenzopassero8509 si ma loro quando ne parlano non si riferiscono semplicemente per gesti ma proprio ai semplici movimenti. Esempio : ho letto qualche mese fa di una ragazza americana che dice che ha bloccato le mani a un suo amico italiano per vedere se riusciva a parlare senza muoversi . Allora quest'ultimo inconsciamente muoveva la testa . Ora da quello che aveva scritto era uno scherzo abbastanza innocente ma che ogni volta sta cosa ci deve far sembrare dei clown anche meno. A me la maggior parte degli stereotipi me ne frego perché alla fine sono abbastanza innocui ( si anche quelli sulla mafia , perché alla fine son veri). Però sorprendersi di fronte a qualcosa che emana emotività ed è non semplicemente italiano ma umano , mi dà un leggero fastidio . Uno in teoria dovrebbe essere un robot per alcuni americani

That last hand gesture we also do in North Eastern US. It means F You 😂
woaaah, as a spaniard i always thought 'estar a dos velas' ('to only have two candles') meant that you're so poor that the only thing you have to eat is your boogers (which we colloquially call 'velas') ahahaha
Violin? Never heard this name. Sounds wonderful!
As a brazilian i got 2 of the Spanish gestures right, we also have them in Brazil with the same meaning, except the one about money.
Yes, I agree. It was the closest. The crowded is the same in fact.
Same for us Italians. The gesture for "no money" is very similar to "I'm watching you" or even "face to face", where you point your index in front of one eye and the thumb in front of the other, while closing the rest of the hand. It's a V, parallel to the ground, and you make it rotate between you and your interlocutor, as if you wanted to point at their eyes (but far from them, always in your personal space). You can repeat that many times to emphatize
@@lorenzopassero8509
It's not the same, the "i have no money" you touch your face from eyes to down, like two tears
9:51 wow, that's a proper high5!
6:38
Like an Argentinian person, I confirmed in slang... "Sos un cagón" or "You are so scared that you shit yourself"
We had a SO MUCH inmigrants from the South of Italy
Wow, in Mexico we have Italy’s fear gesture and it means the same lol.
I'm Mexican too and I would say we also use the crowded sign the "are you crazy" sign and the what the hell are you saying sign.
You need an Indian with the head bobble thing
Sofia piques my interest again 👌
All these gestures are always funny for me beying Czech, we don't do much guests, we are normaly like statues, some people do guests, but I would say most of them don't. We have some Romanians in work and when they are calling to someone with their phones, they always do gestures with their hands like they are arguing with someone or they are surprised by something, it's super ridiculous for us. 😀
Bahasa Indonesia mirip dengan Belanda dan Portugis ❤❤❤
Wow, a dedicated hand gesture for "i'm broke", i could use one irl
I from Bangladeshi just UK
My most used gesture is “one large beer”.
In México we use all those signs too in the same way. I though they were universal
Indonesia 🇮🇩
I guessed the "wa fa napoli" gesture joey makes in friends(the american tv series)
THANKYEW SO MUCH FINALLY YOU HAVE MY PPL INDONESIAN WITH A GREAT ENGLISH!!!!
The Thumbs Up gesture can be the Up Yours gesture in other parts of the world.
Please bring me back my Indonesian girl to this show!!!!!
There is a detail missing in the explanation of having two candles, (not having money), that gesture is made near the nose with two fingers because in slang "candle" means "snot", the gesture means two snot hanging from the nose , two candles.
Really?! In my dialect, in North Italy, "candela" means both "candle" and "snot" too!
@@sarac.123 Oh! How interesting!
@@benicabanas9793 We have some Spanish influence in many dialects
@@sarac.123 That is surprising, it would be more normal in the South due to the years in which Naples was part of the Spanish Empire.
@@benicabanas9793 I don't know how muchSpanish influenced our dialects in the North area, I'mjust curious about this kind of things, but Spanish governed and influenced Milan and other part of North Italy for a couple of centuries.
A little fun fact😊: My grandmother, who was from Piacenza area taught me, when I was little, a nursery rhime in her dialect where it's clearly mentioned a "cake of the Spanish people" ("turta di Spagnö" in dialect) among other non-sense things like always you can find in nursery rhimes.
11:05 🤦🏼♂🤡 NOBODY does that in France... and her second gesture was really BADLY made. I never thought she would be French!! I Thought the French girl was one of the others because we use many of their gestures!!!
Why does the girl with the Gucci shirt look like Mia Khalifa
9.51 !!
as a french guy she's not french
That's taboo.
Slebew itu 🤣
Interesting. I thought I had no national gestures, that they were all standard western gestures, but now I’m not so sure.
Unique idea of content! Nice
As an Arab, I did not know that we have something similar with Italy and some of them
Rome conquered everyone in Antiquity.
o primeiro gesto no brasil significa muito que eu entendo
Istg the italian girl could come off as Amanda Seyfried's clone
The Spanish girl with the gucci shirt wants to mislead to Italy maybe haha
Nope another Spaniard wishing they Italian.
Indonesia is here🇮🇩
These videos are so interesting, where are they filmed ?
En Corea del Sur
Why is on group standing and the other not ?
is it really so hard to understand?
where do ya'll be finding these models
That up and down handshake here in Brazil, would mean "hurry up" if the hand make noises, and when it's made with both hands and no noise, it means that something went south.
i knew when i heard the accents and since i grew up in Bklyn i know the Italian gestures already.
#Praying for Gaza 😢
I want andrea, where is she
In the north eastern US the under chin Italian movement is very rude and almost means f-u.
In Italy It's a rude gesture too, you don't use it lightly, especially with strangers and this one too🤌 is considered rude because most of the times it means "what the f@ck you want, you're doing or you're saying"
Wisconsin here. I also would totally read that as "Atza matta fa you. Why are you busting my ⚽⚾🏀🏈. Gtf outta here."
@@EddieReischl The under chin gesture is more like "I don't care, you're alone in this" in a mocking, arrogant way.
Where do you think it came from? It can mean that in a fight, as if the generic "I don't care" transformed into "I don't care about you, so go to hell". (Obv we're not that kind when fighting, we have our own curse words and blasphemic insults.)
P..tain, j'ai pas compris un seul signe de la française. 😂

I'm french and this signs don't exist in France, where have you found your model ? She is not french or she lying.
Yes, it's true that the hand-to-the-nose sign to say you've been drinking is typical, but these other explanations are beyond me.
Paris is a Cosmopolitan city not representative of France, it isn't a reference of French culture.
His accent seems to be not french and what she talk about
suggests that she isn't of French origin, maybe she is "Francophone" or she lived little time in France,
Otherwise, we didn't live in the same France where i'm born and where i have lived my whole life.
Nothing too serious, but these gestures will not be understood by people only immersed in French culture.
@@loic.valadeauC'est toi qui attribue les nationalités pour savoir qui est Français et qui ne l'est pas ? 😄 Je crois surtout qu'elle s'en tamponne de ton avis sur sa nationalité, elle n'a pas de compte à te rendre.
yes it's true but we cannot claim that this is representative of France.
There are cultural gestures understood by everyone, why not use those? even if it means wanting to point out clichés, as long as they are real, but there is more serious.
you prefer to reach audiences rather than work on videos, it is a choice that you have the right to make.
There are no more French, just N. Africans, Africans and Arabs@@loic.valadeau
Introduction with the video: "Do you think every country use same hand gestures?"
No I don't. And have to add that a gesture used in the USA and my country, where we raise our hand, and make a circle with thumb and index finger, means "perfect" or "well done", "10/10". In my neighbouring country this is a huge insult to the person to whom you would signal (there, it means "anatomic opening" - the rectal/anal one - so with that gesture you call someone an a..hole).
As we can use the "perfect" gesture sarcastically, say to someone making a stupid mistake in traffic, in Germany this might cause some serious rage.

i can tell between France & Spain are from their height. French usually taller than Spanish. Italy......have to based on their hand gesture. Thats classic.
As an indonesian man, the way the italian girl speak is actualy very attractive for indonesian. The intonation, how she speak and the innocence feeling from her choosen words could make any indonesian man day dreaming about her to be his wife 😏
It doesn't just apply to Indonesians believe me!! 😁
