Okay, so I want to set the record straight on Italians and hand gestures.

Be honest Italians, do you guys actually communicate largely through hand gestures such as these?

It is a national stereotype of Italy that the citizens wave their hands around a lot in various gestures and I would like to know whether it is actually true or just bullshit. Because the internet is for research and education.

kekd
we have that too

>>71707870
Of course you do - you guys were just taken without so much a fight by Italy prior to WWII
>>
>>71707841
Most of the gestures in the video are used in every region of Italy but we mostly use them while speaking with our mates, gestures are like a slang language, using them during a formal conversation it's considered very rude, we don't use them with everyone.

>>71707841
shit
almost all of those are used where I live
>>
>>71707841
yes
>>
GOT'EM
>>
>>71707841
we unironically use all of those and a lot more.

but you only use it with people that you have informal conversations with (family and friends), it's seen as very low class/vulgar to do them in formal situations, and some times it's just plain and simply rude.

also, I always see anglos using the one in your pic to just point out they're italian, as if it didn't mean anything other than that, when in reality is basically a question mark and it's the most used one, that's all.

No. And sadly, I've been accused to be a Czech in Czechia and an Irish in UK because 1) I'm pale and 2) I do not wave hands at all. Everyone was like "wow, you don't.... speak like an Italian... I mean, you don't... use your hands at all.."
Italian doesn't necessarily mean terrone

yeah
i think it's an habit that tracks back in time pretty far
we often had to communicate with foreign people without knowing squat about their language, because of foreign conquests, trade and emigration

>>71710171
hand gestures are pretty much universal to all italians, not only terroni use them
personally, i'm part german, grew up in Trentino and then Lombardia and still use my hands a lot
>>
We use those hand gestures

No we don't.

>hand gestures are pretty much universal to all italians, not only terroni use them
True but only terroni use hand gestures that have a meaning of their own, in the north we still wave our hands but it's only to put emphasis on some words

It comes from Roman times when orators like Cicero and Caesar needed to get their point across during speeches. If you watch videos of Hitler giving speeches he does the same thing.

It's an advanced social technique that Brits and Australians should learn instead of pissing all over everything to communicate

>>71707841
those "italian gestures explained" videos are cringey desu, most gestures people use don't really have a meaning here, you just wave hands to highlight certain parts of the talk. Italians might do this more often but in my experience lot of people outside of italy do that too

The best part about Italians and their hand gestures is that a lot of them seem to do it even when on the phone.
