- Pointing is done with the lips – pucker the lips and raise the chin briefly in the direction of the thing you’re pointing to.
- A finger wag is very common (especially to taxis or passing buses wanting to know if you want a ride). Done just like an adult would do to a child in the USA.
- Rubbing two index fingers together usually indicates that you want to pay for something.
- Nose Crinkle: to indicate, ‘I don’t get it’ or ‘what are you saying?’ – crinkle your nose, kind of like Samantha on Bewitched, only with one swift movement and not the wiggle.
- Hand sweep - Palm Down: to gesture someone to come toward you – using hand, palm-side DOWN, sweep them in.
- Hand Sweep – Palm Up: to gesture someone to eat – using hand, palm-side UP, sweep them in.
