    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.

    The wolf sign doesn't necessarily mean you support a specific political party... Saying that would be an underrepresentation of what it actually is. As you know, the wolf is the symbolic animal of all Turkic people, and this symbol is common across all Turkic-speaking nations and will get recognized/understood in any Turkic speaking nation for what it is - a symbol for having Turkic roots. Only in Turkey we seem to associate it with being a supporter of a specific party, and that's just a shame.
    Also the "homosexual" gesture is the upside down version of the gesture you showed. What you did is very commonly recognized as its universal meaning - OK:
    Just wanted to point these out!

    • @Turkishle
      @Turkishle  3 роки тому +22

      I agree, I wish the wolf sign wasn't associated with a political party...
      For the homosexual gesture, you're right, the one I showed is commonly used as "ok" gesture in the world, but I think, most Turkish people don't make a distinction between the one I showed and the upside down version. So If someone does this gesture in any way, It will be understood as a gesture for homosexuality by most Turkish people I guess.

      @@Turkishle You're not helping by claiming that it's the symbol of a party in your video mate. That is downright wrong. It's used by countless Turkic people too. It's only associated with MHP here because for the longest time they were the only nationalist party that existed. And today we basically don't have a nationalist party anymore. Not only is there a lot of difference between nationalist ideologies, it's also been used by literally every party leader in Turkey except the PKK's political wing HDP. it's used by countless people who have zero ties to MHP. You'll also see it being used by Christian Gagauz in Moldova, or Judaic Karaite Turks in Crimea and of course Azerbaijan, Russian Tatars, Central Asian Turkic people, Uyghurs etc.
      Would have been better if you just said that it represents Turkic identity and is based on Asena, a female wolf from Turkic mythology according to which Turks are part wolf.
      Not only is that far more interesting. It also wouldn't further spread the misconception that It's the symbol of a party.

      @@noahi829 Not exactly a state. The Ottoman Empire is an empire after all. It is ruled by the Osmanoğlu dynasty. The Greeks, on the other hand, are seen as the main element of the empire. In other words, they are not much different from the Turks in terms of location. That's why Mehmet the Conqueror carries the title of Kayser-i Rum. So it's the same title as caesar. That's why Hagia Sophia is so valuable. Much more than a church. It's not a simple show of strength. The religion of Islam emerged in 610. Hagia Sophia was built in 532. Islam sees itself as a continuation of Christianity. And believes in Christian prophets and gospels. Therefore, Emperor Justinian I is an important leader in terms of Islamic religion. and Rome is holy. It sounds funny when you say it like that, but the Turks think so. The same is true for Judaism and Jerusalem. Christians also see themselves as the continuation of Judaism. I don't understand exactly what you mean, but the Turks' view of the Greeks is not like the British' view of their colonies.

    İlk defa bugün gördüm videolarını ve çoğu güzel. Bazı hareketleri unutmuşsun ama. Usanmak ( yaka silkmek), Türk kahvesi istemek (baş ve işaret parmakları ile fincan tutarak içme hareketi), Çay söylemek ( işaret parmağını aşağıya doğru sallamak), Bir şeye işaret etmek ( gözleri o yöne çevirip kaşları kaldırmak) , Nazar değmesin hareketi ( tütütü), para gelecek hareketi ( el kaşınınca saça sürmek), Oh canıma değsin ( eli göğüsten aşağıya doğru sürmek) gibi.(aklıma daha gelirse yorumu düzenlerim)
    Ayrıca kısa bilgi, tahtaya vurmak Türklerin Şaman dönemlerinden gelmekte ve ağaç kovuklarındaki tanrılara dilek ve isteklerini göndermek için kullanılırmış. İngilizceye de "Knock on wood" olarak geçmiştir. Bizler Şeytan kulağına kurşun ( kulak çekmek) ve Tahtaya vurmak hareketlerini birleştirerek kullanırız.

    There are a few similar gestures we use in Italy and in Sicilia we have our own gestures. However, the one Turkish gesture I learned very soon was ‘the thumb between fingers’! There was a young child and I gestured that I was taking off her mis nose 👃🏼 and I wiggled my thumb - we were in a restaurant and ‘oh my goodness’ the faces of the little boys parents was something I will never forget! You gave the polite meaning of this gesture, I was told the more vulgar meaning of it which, I was told included the female genitalia 😲

    Whoa, that thumb gesture brought back some childhood memories. When I was a kid in Turkey I got attacked by a dog, it was so scary that I went into shock. An elderly lady from the neighborhood came to me right after the incident and she put her thumb under my teeth like the gesture you showed, and used her thumb to put sugar water in my mouth behind my top teeth. I was told that this was part of a superstition and she did that so I would remember the sweetness of the sugar instead of the trauma of the incident. Maybe this tradition is the origin of that gesture?

    The 'no' Turkish sign in my language (sinhala, language of Sri Lanka🇱🇰) means that someone is stressed out/bored/had enough of something. The 'homosexual' sign means "fatta" which is neither a good word or a bad word, normally children don't use that word, what it means is - [something] is super (but not in a polite formal way). The 'clean the table' means a lot of [something]. The 'a lot' means to stand up. The 'money' and the 'I don't know' one is the same.

      Spitting is not very welcome in our culture. It is considered as disrespectful behavior. But we have a popular gesture of spitting, you may know it or you may saw it before. If you pretend to spit on the other person, it means always be well. We call "mashallah" to this behaviour in Turkey.
      As a Turkish and Bulgarian immigrant, I was very surprised to learn that the gesture of nodding of head left and right means "yes" and the gesture of nodding of head up and down means "no" in Bulgaria. Whereas in Turkey it is completely opposite.
