- When beckoning someone, the common gesture is as follows: palm facing down waving the fingers toward yourself.
- When hailing a taxi or bus: arm up in the air, like in many Western countries.
- If you ask a yes or no question and get a small eyebrow movement upwards, this means yes. This is a slight movement and if you’re not paying attention, you could miss it.
- Another expression that could be misunderstood is the sound “uh uh,” as in how we might say “no.” This sound in actually means “yes,” which can be quite confusing to foreigners. It's best to keep both of these things in mind when asking yes or no questions.
