If you don’t interrupt an Israelite, it doesn’t care anything – it’s even a good education. Already if you go to South Korea, attention to the “visas”, and in Georgia think well before saying “mother” and “father”.
You can complete or start a conversation with a simple gesture. But if we make a Crasso mistake, our attitude can fall very badly in other countries.
Get to know some gestures (or words) that have to avoid visiting these countries.
Yes and not in Bulgaria
“Yes” and “No” are commonly represented in Portugal with a wave up and down and down, respectively. But in Bulgaria the system works in reverse.
In this country, if you shake your head up and down you will indicate that “no”, and if you will be shaken on the sides will say that “yes”, explains the site
Say yes without saying
In northern Sweden (and in some places of Norway), the inhabitants use a bizarre form to agree with their interlocutor. It is about sugar o ar.
If you are inviting someone to have a coffee and respond with a strange sound, they are probably accepting in local slang. In the video below, some inhabitants explain the scheme.
Cyprus, Greece and the ace
In Cyprus, you should not wave by hand – it works like a kind of cuff. In fact, shaking the hand has no problem. Which is problematic and that makes the so -called “Moutza”, a gesture that serves to insult someone in Cyprus and Greece.
Consists of palm of the open hand, Near someone’s face. If you have a habit waking without shaking your hand, avoid the gesture as much as possible.
It is not “fix”
Do not signal “fix” in countries like Iran, Australia, Nigeria or Russia – will be misunderstood. In these countries, the thumbs up is used to insult. So explains the
Also the “ok” or “perfect” sign, when we join the thumb and the indicator, can be insulting in many countries, such as France or Germany.
Right and wrong in South Korea
In South Korea, think twice before celebrating a correct answer when you see a “visa” on paper. In fact, in this country, these symbols (right with a visa and wrong with a cross) work the opposite, warns a.
If you want to show you that your answer is wrong, you should put a “view“, And to show that they answered correctly, they will present to you a circle.
According to the site, “Japan and Korea use circles for the correct answers and a bar, a cross or a brand seen for an incorrect response. Finland and Sweden use visa marks for incorrect responses.”
Interrupt an Israelite? Convenient
It can be very rude to interrupt a conversation anywhere in the world… but not in Israel. These people are known to intervene over their interlocutor – without this being socially condemned. But of course, it has to be an interruption that continues the conversation.
Sometimes, Mira Fox explains on the Jewish website, just be a “yes yes”, or tell a similar story that happened to you. As described the linguist Deborah Tannen, the typical Jewish interruption is a kind of “cooperative overlap“.
Mamã, dad, Father
In Georgia, think well before speaking – there are words that deceive. The Portuguese Word “Father”, writes Father e lê-se “mama”. On the other hand, if you say “puts it”(დედა) – which looks a lot like“ dad ”or“ daddy ”in English – is saying mother.
