Even among Japanese people there isn’t a solid consensus about these gestures. If you got zero, don’t worry, being terrible at Japanese hand gestures is hardly the worst thing in the world. If you got 5 out of 5 then give yourself a pat on the back. Sticking out one’s thumb would refer to a boyfriend for the straight ladies. One note about this gesture is that it only means “woman” if a woman made the gesture then answer C would apply. This could conceivably refer to one’s wife but by virtue of the fact that Japanese gestures tend to be used to mention the unmentionable (see Questions 1 & 4) he is clearly doing something on the DL like cheating. If you answered D then you’d know I have a special passion for that letter, can’t stay away from it and hence are right! Sticking your pinky straight out is an indication of a special woman in your life. He then puts only his pinky finger straight up at you and winks. After talking on the phone he apologizes and says he has to leave. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.Įxiting the restaurant, your friend gets a phone call. However if a man were to do the same thing, it’d be – well – kinda gay. Like most hand gestures the origin’s not 100% clear but I heard that it refers to the old custom of women putting their hands in front of their mouths in such a way when they laugh. If you said C then how dare you! I said the he was a gentleman and never would do such a thing. He’s…” Then puts the back of his hand to the opposite side of his mouth as if whispering something but keeping his mouth closed and quiet.Ĭ.

Although waving off something is rather international, the Japanese style of waving is unique in its subtle, minute movements. If you answered A you should be right, but in fact the answer is D. You have offended my family with this tripe and I will cut your head off with my iron tegatana. Your friend begins waving their open hand under their nose in small left-right movements.ī. Sitting at the table, the waitress offers complimentary bowls of pickled fish and Tabasco sauce as an appetizer. The purpose is usually to avoid mentioning money in public places which can be understandably gauche at times. It can also be done horizontally with the back of the hand facing downward. Although many Japanese people easily recognize this gesture as “okay” much like other parts of the world, it can also have the meaning of money. If you answered B you’d be terribly wrong, because the answer’s D. Do you have enough good feelings about this place? Your friend turns to you, says “Do you have enough…?” and makes a circle with his thumb and index finger.Ī. You both come across a fancy looking sushi restaurant with a long line-up.
