    My dad was born in what is now Belarus way back in 1901. My mom's family was from Poland. I grew up monolingual and, I once thought, monocultural in Connecticut. Over the years, in gesture and thought, et cetera, I find the Old World, so-to-speak, lives on inside me. I use a number of the gestures you showed and, knock on wood, will continue to do so! LOL

    I know many people are talking about the subtitles, but I think this was the first time I could understand at least a few things in Russian because of its resemblance to other languages, along with the gestures of the woman speaking. Plus, she was talking slowly and pausing. They were just short snippets, but I almost felt like she was speaking a language I understood. I think these videos would be great for learning Russian (maybe someday).
    It was also very interesting to learn about those gestures. I think I'll recognize the matching gesture for 'little', as well as differences like the one for 'I got your nose', the pinky promise, and touching wood to avoid bad luck but not in a specific way of knocking, and definitely without spitting, lol.
    I like Russian movies, so I think this will be really useful for me. Thank you for this instructive video.

      @@CbI4 My native language is Spanish, but I also speak fluent English (I went to a bilingual school since I was 6), some Swedish, and a bit of German. I’ve dabbled in French and Portuguese too, but it was a while ago and just a little, so I wouldn’t say I really speak those. Maybe Russian is the next language I’d like to tackle, but I’m still working on polishing my Swedish. (Like I mentioned, I’m pretty fond of Russian movies).
      As for the gesture thing, I feel it’s more about culture than language. In Europe or Asia, they might have those things a bit better defined, but here in the Americas, it can be a little more complex since we’re such a mix of cultures.
      What about you? I’d love to hear your thoughts on it!

    We use all of these in Serbia and Montenegro and they have the same meaning as well . #5 is called шипак (pomegranate) [we use different gesture called figa: folded thumbs meaning to pray for our or someone elses success in something like "I'm holding fige for you to pass exam today"], children use #6 and sing: Mир, мир, мир, нико није крив, ава ава, ава, судија је крава. Kупус и печење, слатко помирење. Села баба на бандеру, попишала чича Перу, чича Пера не зна шта ће па од муке цепа гаће. Гаће су му скупе, види му се дупе. (Literally: Peace, peace, peace, no one is at fault, woof, woof, woof, the judge is a cow. Cabbage and roasted meat, sweet reconciliation. Grandma sat on the street light and pissed on uncle Pera. Uncle Pera doesn't know what to do, so he tears his pants out of agony. His pants are expensive, you can see his ass. 💀💀💀 I only seen two people use #2 tho

    2:46 In Italian it's called «fare le fighe» or «fare le fiche» (lit. "to do the figs") - currently it is not very much used, though - and I think many Italians don't even know such an expression exists, and so they wouldn't be able to use it anymore. It seems the gesture appears in Dante's "Divina Commedia", too.

    2:32 In Italy ‘fare le fiche’ was an ancient gesture no longer used today. Students learn it thanks to a verse in Dante's Commedia. Here is some information
    "The name of this gesture probably derives from fig (or pussy) in ancient veterinary parlance in the sense of ‘a more or less voluminous tumour [...] that is usually observed around the natural openings of the body and on the organs of the generation of domestic quadrupeds, and more especially of donkeys and mules’. The gesture of making figs would thus be an imitation, using the thumb, of the fleshy excrescences that grow on the genitals of certain quadrupeds.
    The origins are traced back to Etruscan and Roman times, where the gesture of manu fica initially had an apotropaic meaning to exorcise the spirits of the dead during the Lemuralia and has been found on many amulets.
    With the advent of Christianity and the consequent rejection of many of the pagan symbolisms, the gesture, defined "manu obscena", lost all ritual significance, assuming exclusively a vulgar connotation and is present in many literary texts and paintings until the 1600s. The gesture is also mentioned by Dante in the 25th canto of the Inferno in verses 1-16, where the soul of Vanni Fucci performs this gesture as an act of blasphemy against God.
    «Al fine de le sue parole il ladro
    le mani alzò con amendue le fiche,
    gridando: “Togli, Dio, ch’a te le squadro!”»
    ‘At the end of his words the thief
    lifted up his hands with both his figs,
    shouting: ‘Take away, God, that I may square them to thee!’’
    (Dante Alighieri, Divine Comedy, Inf. XXV, 1-3
    A rich iconographic testimony is provided by the many figurative trophies in Dante's poem, which unequivocally translate the gesture into an image.
    Today fallen into disuse in its original meanings, both ritual and vulgar, the same gesture is nevertheless commonly used in many regions of Italy, in an entirely innocent manner, in the childish game of taking a child's nose between the fingers
    Only in Sardinia does it still survive, either as an apotropaic gesture of avertment, or of blasphemy if addressed to the sky, or of ill omen and curse if addressed to a person."

    In Yugoslavia figa gesture meaning was the same, but it is called "šipak"( reads as sheepack, means also rosehip ) and the phrase that follows it goes:" here, šipak for you" or just as an answer on proposal or prwdiction "Šipak" as " it is not going to happen".
    Fige was a sleng word, widely used.
    Expression " I am holding you fige" with the gesture of fist where all fingers hold the thumb translates as " I am rooting for you" and it is used when a friend has any big challenge in front of him, from an operation to the first date.
    So, two Slavic languages with the gestures if used in critical communication can make accidental war of misunderstanding between them :)))))))
    I love when things mix. You never know what is going to come out. :)

    I will write in polish as saying in polish will probably translate properly into Russian.
    Dawać w szyję 😉 jest podobne. Było pstrykanie, ale cześciej uderzanie bokiem ręki w nią na znak picia alkoholu. "Figa z makiem i tatarakiem" to pełna wersja do niechęci dzielenia się. Krótko "figę dostaniesz" .
    Drapanie się po tyle głowy tez takie samo, ale to chyba jak odruch bezwarunkowy, choc wydaje się mniej spotykany.
    Plucie za plecy i pukanie w drewno potwierdzam też. Dodać muszę że raczej niektore z nich wygasają i są zastępowane żargonem słownym. A szkoda. Pozdrawiam

    Твой жёсткий номер шесть...... in America is called a "pinky swear". It just means a promise.
    Ex: I swear I'll never tell what you just told me.😂

    🤣 We in Serbia have some of them almost same. Only not say " figa " but "шипак" . Little kids say : " мир, мир, мир, нико није крив " . And 3 times knock in wood is same : " да не чује зло". j = й 😉

    In Portugal and Brasil we also use the 3 knocks on the wood, and some times we say the word "isola" at same time we do the jest. Both jest and word intend to prevent what was being said from happening, as in a kind of magic. Also in Portugal and Brasil we also have the "figa" and, what is more, the precise same word, "figa". Not sure it is used with the same purpose as in Russia. In our case it is a kind of charm to keep away the bad luck. Stay strong, Russia, we love u.

      Figa in Russia means "nothing" as in you get nothing or receive nothing, depending on the context.

    5-6-7. hareketlerin hepsi bizde de var. 5.hareket ise bizde küfür demektir. Sol tarafa tükürme ve tahtaya, masaya 3 kez hafiften vurmak; kötü bir şeyin olmasını istemediğimiz zaman, Allah korusun deyip tahtaya 3 kez vururlar.

    The figa is well known in Brazil as a sign of good luck. You can buy wooden ones to carry around.

    It's not a fight, It's I got Your Nose. My dad and grandparents did this to me when I was little.
    They would grab your nose with their thumb and forefinger and then stick their thumb between the first two fingers and say I got your nose. It was how you teased little children.

    The "fig" gesture is not acceptable to everyone. I said it verbally (instead of using the gesture) to a Russian lady who told me I shouldn't use the phrase---"fig" seems to be a euphemism for "clitoris".
