They're so similar to Italian ones! Especially the first one, in southern Italy people do the same gesture, I guess Greek settlers brought it to Italy and taught it to us :D
The Moutza part, actually came from the Byzantine times. When they were dragging a prisoner, he would have his face covered in charcoal or something black using his own hands. Moutzoura Id a derivative word and it means to erase a word/letter etc. Using your pen by drawing on it. So Moutza worked like that
I used to have an English teacher who was actually English, missus Sue, with whom we worked on speaking the language and she often told us stories or asked us to make up a story and tell it to the class so we could all analyze it. So, once, she told us about the first time she'd come to Greece and was stunned by the taxi drivers' gestures and that the could communicate whilst being about 60 meters away from each other. She got in her taxi and told her driver almost exactly what they had said just by watching them move their arms and heads. The whole time she was telling us that, she'd kept her arms close to her body and her hands in one another because she said "We don't do any gestures in England and I'm trying to stay as English as I can while embracing the Greek culture, but, GOD, you are soooo expressive that I love it, but sometimes I can't handle it". We all started laughing and that was when I realized that, despite that I had come to communicate and interact with so many tourists from central and northern European countries. Crete is always a "hot" vacation's destination and we host lots of Germans, English, Dutch and Scandinavians every year. Take care, Angelo! I love your comedy!

That 'What is going on ?' is SO Indian ! I got a shock the moment he started talking about it. It's like he became an Indian all of a sudden !!! Unbelievable !!! 😂
Neapolitans, except the last one, they do the same gestures, also, the only two populations then when they say NO they tilt the head back like that. To see this after over 2000 years is quite amazing.
Βασικά όχι. Η μούντζα σαν χειρονομία υπάρχει στον λαό μας από τον μεσαίωνα. Προήλθε από τιμωρία που επέβαλαν δικαστές σε άτομα που διέπραξαν κάποιο αδίκημα που ήταν απλά άξιο ευτελισμού. Έτριβαν το χέρι τους μέσα σε κάρβουνο και μετά μουντζουρώναν τον ένοχο και τον έστελναν έξω να περπατήσει με τα μούτρα μουντζουρωμένα, εξού και το όνομα ‘μούντζα’. Οι άνθρωποι απλά από κάποιο σημείο μιμούνταν την χειρονομία για να «μουντζουρώσουν» κάποιον συμβολικά.
Brother i love your videos you are awesome keep doing them!!!! with love from greece and everyone have a happy new year with whatever your heart desires!!!!!!
only us Greeks have this offensive gesture called mountza .. it is like showing the number five .. but trust me it is totaly disrespectful .. sometimes the double mountza is with both hands .. so the Greeks when we want to show number 5 or 10 we turn our hands opposite so not to be a mountza
@@RatInTheMud you aren’t something you don’t know and haven’t ever lived in… Gringo passport. “Greek” that are wannabe. Never lived in Greece except for tourism. No connection to modern Greece culturally.
@@DimitriosKvs listen I dont consider greek Americans pure Greeks either. But if someone has greek blood then I consider him greek. My grandfather was born in Crete from Cretan parents but he moved at 6 years old in Smyrna. That doesn't make him Smyrna enan at all he remains a Cretan greek
@@RatInTheMud you are aware that there’s not greek, portugese or Japanese blood. Blood is one. What we call greek, portugese or Japanese consists of 2 things: The local culture and local education. And both the culture and education of a country, you get by by living and growing up in this country
Ρε είναι τόσο αστείες οι χειρονομίες μας!! 😂😂😂😂
Nai einai !😂
δεν ηξερα καν οτι ειναι μονο ελληνικα τα περισσοτερα απο αυτα

I think it was skata (excrement) not charcoal they would put in their face 😂😂
As a Greek, I have never consciously thought that the first ones were strictly Greek until now. The last two are iconic though.
How is "Yes" strictly Greek though? we see this body gesture from anywhere around the world and we know its indicating yes
@@mar__k No it's strictly Greek, the entire world as you're saying does an up and down continuous nod, we do a downwards mini-bow.
Not strictly Greek though. We do the same in Turkey also.
Watching from Greece.hi everybody.

Ο Θανάσης Βεγγος εκανε τη μούντζα πρώτη φορα σε μια απο τις ταινίες του και αρχισε αργότερα να χρησιμοποιείται απο τον κοινο κόσμο μέχρι σήμερα :)
Well μέχρι σήμερα πάντα αναρωτιόμουν πως προέκυψε αυτή η χειρονομία.Χρόνια πολλά και καλά.
Βασικά όχι. Η μούντζα σαν χειρονομία υπάρχει στον λαό μας από τον μεσαίωνα. Προήλθε από τιμωρία που επέβαλαν δικαστές σε άτομα που διέπραξαν κάποιο αδίκημα που ήταν απλά άξιο ευτελισμού.
