The origin is salute in India.
That gesture became the pray for Bhudda.
Finally in recent Japan, it became the gesture of plea.

Her: "do you know the meaning of this gesture?"
Me: Reminds me of Dora.

Her lessons are so excitingly good! She's beautiful and she does it with a smile like some teachers who look so constipated. :-)

Hi,
yes, "muri, muri" means "impossible" or "no way". When you tell someone that something is impossible or
you don't think s/he can do it, you can say "muri, muri" in casual conversation.
