Polish gestures, differences between Polish and Spanish.

hi, i have to do a project to my university in spain about differences in gestures between polish and spanis people so.. could anyone help me to do the research?? could anyone explain me the meaning of typical gestures in poland or where can i find this information??

thank you vey much!!

One of the most common ones is to take your hand and pretend that you are cutting your neck, this means that someone is half-cut/drunk.

thank you!

This gesture is also sometimes used as a proposition of drinking.

ok.thanks

When I was telling this to my friends in Australia and the US they all thought I was messing with them :))

Edit:


It should be rather different gesture, not 'cutting' as if with a knife, the National Drinking Gesture is more like chopping (as if with an axe) side of the neck ;)

Yeah, they might see it as you threatening suicide :(

I believe that holding up two fingers behind someone's head in a V-shape is much more innocent for Poles than for those of Mediterranean cultures.
