Excellent Gestures Turks Use All The Time

As Turks, we love to gestures, 'cause you can say so much more than with just your mouth! Tell me, do you talk with your hands a lot? What kind of moves do you use?

When I first came to Turkey, I didn't realize (at first) that when people tilted their heads back a little and lifted their eyebrows it meant "no". In America, that means, "Hey baby. Let's do it." Imagine my surprise when waiters, and bus drivers, and taxi drivers were all doing that gesture at me. I thought, "Oh my God. What kind of country did I move to?" Once I understood, though, I adopted that gesture. One day I was talking to my Dad via Skype and he asked me a question to which I replied with that gesture to say no. He was shocked. I said, "I'm sorry, that means no here. No. Really." It's still a funny story that my family tells from time to time.

My husband is Turkish and after I watched this video, I realized he does so many of these gestures 😂😂 I asked him why he hasn’t taught me any of this yet!! I feel like I understand him more now haha

Nah hareketinin daha kompleks olan versiyonlarını da göstermeliydin. Şlaaaakk diye yapacaktın onu😂😂

Havada çay karıştırma hareketiyle restoranda çay söyleme hareketini göstermeliydin :D

So i watched this and tried the "nah" gesture with my Turkish friends and they were offended, after much discussion and explanations, they said it's like giving someone the finger. They also said the "suck it" gesture is considered to be rude.

As an italian, this was so fascinating to watch!!😁

When I was abroad I did the "check please" gesture in a restaurant and two of the waiters get confused and thought something wrong with our table, that time I realised how Turkish I am. 😂😂

Hello guys!
I noticed that I made a mistake in the video. The gesture that I showed for the Nationalist Movement Party is actually used to represent Turks, not only MHP.
Yorumlarda bilgi verdiğiniz için teşekkürler arkadaşlar 🇹🇷

4:50 bu çok yanlış anlaşılan bir haraket Devlet Bahçeli hep kullanıyor diye onun partisine özel bir şey sanıyorlar ama yanlış. Bir partiyi değil Türkleri temsil eder Bozkurt'u sembolize eder o hareket

We use some of those gestures in Romania.Probably inherited from the times of the Otoman Empire.

Şimdi fark ediyorum böyle şeyler yaptığımızı ben bunları diğer ülkelerde yapıyor zannediyordum...Ne safmışım😂

3:22 That is more like the middle finger than just opposition (at least the way I saw it used when I lived there). And yeah, I played "I got your nose" with little Ali (my friend Mehmet's son) before anybody had told me that it was a bad thing to do. He was mortified to come in from the kitchen to see me with his son. "Hey, Ali. I got your nose!" He said, "Brooks, put the nose down please."

You missed the "ooh canıma değsin" sign 😁

0:21 check please
1:31 god forbid (but we only knock 3 times on anything made of wood)
2:26 suck it
5:16 money
6:08 i don't know

[hanhatanhlam]

Really appreciate for what you did in this video to explain more clearly about Turkish gestures!!! I used to see some of the common gestures in Turkish series, but I had been truly confused until I watched this video. Çok teşekkür ediyorum, Can. Keep it up!

5:57 the delicious/beautiful gesture in Italy means "what the heck do you want?" Don't do it with strangers, it might start a fight.
