Communicating with Gestures
When travelling, you may think that if you don't know the language, you can communicate using
gestures. However, very few gestures are universally understood and interpreted. What is perfectly
acceptable in this country may be rude in other cultures.
1. Pointing at something using the index finger. It is impolite to point with the index finger in the
Middle and Far East. Use an open hand or your thumb in Indonesia.
2. Making a "V"sign. This means "victory"in most parts of Europe when you make the sign with
your palm facing away from you. But if you face your palm in, the gesture is very rude.
3. Smiling. This facial expression is universally understood. However, cultures can provide different
reasons for smiling. The Japanese may smile when they are confused or angry while in other parts of
Asia people smile when they are embarrassed. People in some cultures only smile to friends. It is
important not to judge people for not smiling, or for smiling at what we would consider "inappropriate"
times.
4. Waving one's hand with the palm facing outward to greet someone. In parts of Europe, waving the
hand back and forth can mean "No". To wave "goodbye", raise the palm outward and wave the fingers
together; but this is rude in Nigeria if the hand is too close to another person's face.
5. Forming a circle with one's fingers to mean "OK". Although this means "OK"in the U. S. and many
other countries, there are some notable exceptions. In Brazil and Germany the gesture is obscene
(猥亵的), while in Japan it means"money". In France, it has the additional meaning of "zero"or
"worthless".
