Most of the hand gestures we use in France are meant to communicate discreetly when, among others, the teacher, friend, parent or office manager's back is turned. The more you go south, the more gestures you get. If you want to silence a real Marseillais, just tie his hands.

The confusing part is that these gestures are used to emphasize the speech, and are generally not meant to be used alone. The only situation that comes to my mind to use them in silence would be to communicate with a friend in a situation when you cannot talk: in a classroom, in a theatre backstage, to a colleague who is talking on the phone, in a loud night club...

I am french and here are my feelings about those hand gestures: #1 It took me a while to recognize the gesture probablyI would never use it without saying something like "tu as les chocottes" ("you are afraid"). #2 Yes. #3 Pretty much the same as #1. I recognize the gesture but in practice I would only use it to emphasis a sentence such as "J'en ai marre" ou "ras le bol". #4 Yes but usually associated with a strong facial expression to show my displeasure. #5 "Et toc" ... not since preschool and even then I am not sure? #6 Yes for the expression "les doigts dans le nez" but clearly no for the gesture. Never.

i know the first one straight away lol.. we do it also in my home county. it basically means "my heart beat faster coz' i scared"
people are always so flirty in those videos
Do you actually consider that flirty? That's just being friendly in France

Très important !
Expulse aggressively air from your cheeks when you're annoyed and do a fart sound when you don't know something and you're ready to go in France, Belgium or Switzerland

@@missmiminne the others were French too he couldn't ARTICULATE. I'm French I live in france and I've never seen someone struggle with pronunciation that way although I've been in a few English classes in my days
Most of the hand gestures we use in France are meant to communicate discreetly when, among others, the teacher, friend, parent or office manager's back is turned. The more you go south, the more gestures you get. If you want to silence a real Marseillais, just tie his hands.
True 😂
@travpoet "J'étais" = "I was", "J'ai été" = "I have been" Dont worry, a lot of us are going through 7 years of English classes learning and forgetting this al the time.
@@fyodorkaramazov2136 Never thought about it like that. Although I'm not sure it works 100% of the time.
@travpoet j'étais means "I was" while j'ai été means "I have been to..." but can also means "I was"
@@MrEysox J'ai été is incorrect if you want to say I have been to. It would be Je suis allé, since aller's auxiliary is être, whilst être's auxiliary is avoir. In Québec, it's accepted to say J'ai été instead of Je suis allé orally, but not in writing.
As a native Italian, I understood all of them except drunk and fingers in the nose. 😂
Sul serio?. Io quasi nessuno (a parte il primo e qualche altro). Li ho trovati molto differenti dai nostri e sono del sud.

Arrêtez de parler italien, je ne comprends rieeennn
Il en manque ! Il manque "mon oeil", "moyen", "il est l'heure", "partir"
C probablement les mêmes gestes pour eux
Et puis aussi "il me barbe ou c'est barbant" , "il est fou"...

Same xD
are you French or are you like French?
Exactly the same lmao x) which ones did you get ?
@@voxxandy6136 I think she just meant french. At least I just mean french.
Oh my God I hadnt realized they were a French thing and not universal ! I mean it makes sense, I just never thought about it. And I definitely use all of these, like I could watch this without sound and get what they're saying, but also I talk a lot with my hands so 🤷♀
"We don't get tippsy in France" aCCURATE WE GET WASTED
The "drunk" one is actually sign langage..
Or did they use it in sign language ?
INFJade I’m not sure but I think it doesn’t mean the same at all in sign language 😂
@@maylb3150 if so then it's just a coincidence
@@maylb3150 yes it does... in french sign language idk about the other ones though
which sign langage ? french one ?
The confusing part is that these gestures are used to emphasize the speech, and are generally not meant to be used alone. The only situation that comes to my mind to use them in silence would be to communicate with a friend in a situation when you cannot talk: in a classroom, in a theatre backstage, to a colleague who is talking on the phone, in a loud night club...
that's srsly another language they have! right because learning French isn't already *hard* 🥴🥴🥴
And we have way more than what is shown...
😂😂
Oui oui oui
I’m not French. Those are the only few I know 😂
Italians are the best guys we are way after them they use their hands to mimic a lot more than us
Italian here I understood most of them even if we don't really use those hand gestures French people are funny! (with love ❤️)
Merci ! ( thank you !)
yeah i'm Italian too and I could recognize most of them even if I didn't know the meaning! I love how hand gestures are so different in every country!!!
Frenchs and Italians are brother ! I'm french but I can understand Italian and our cultures are very similar Love from France
@@AndreMalraux20341 Grazie... 🤔
The only time I’ve seen an Italian bon insulting France, I hated Italians so much but you made be kinda like them now..yet
L’expression “les doigt dans le nez” d’accord, mais les français font ce geste?
Non... en 21ans de vie je n'ai jamais vu ce geste xD
Non on le fait pas, mais c'est un moyen de faire trouver aux autres 😉
Most of those gestures aren't commonly used
Jamais fait, à part pour faire deviner Hitler... mais du coup ça n'a plus le même sens :-D.
Clairement non... d'ailleurs ce n'est pas le seul que j'ai découvert dans cette vidéo xD
I m french and I use only one or two expressions.... There are some that I don't even know!
Same😂 (je suis française aussi mais bon parlons anglais)
@@Danbi24 Ca me va aussi 😊
Me neither ! 😵🇫🇷

le plus marrant ce son les sons que l'on émet pour exprimer notre ressentis : )
You dont live in France? As french in France, I use every these gestures regulary.
*The shade at the end when he was like* _"cause you're always drunk, probably"_
Mela Matthews IKKL HAHAHA
As a french person I didn't realise that these signs were not understandable by everyone 😅
As a french person, I only understood one (l'énervé) 😅
I never realized we do have full-on hand gestures-based conversations before watching this. This is why I love those videos
I’m Italian and a lot of them are similar especially the “afraid” one and the “mad” one
yeah the afraid one is literally the same!!! :D
Those french really have strange hand gestures. ... Wait. I'm French...
Word of advice to any French person, if you travel to the US please don't try using any of those here. No one would have any idea what you're trying to say. And the flick under the chin could be taken as FU, so some risk with that one as well.
We know that is proper to our "country" so we won't really do that anywhere else. We know that can be misinterpreted in US :P
@@Kebapable Cool. We also have to be careful with our OK sign, as it means something very different in many countries. :)
@@Kebapable Why is country in quotes? 😆
@@LittleLulubee Because in Belgium we do that too :D
The ‘under the chin’ thing wouldn’t be considered as an FU anywhere 😂 I think you’re getting it confused with the way it’s shown in sign language. (Do the same motion but replace your thumb will your first 4 fingers). The thumb under the chin means “don’t” in ASL. I highly doubt if you did the Under the thumb to a hearing person, they’d care. 😂
chemistry between the french guy and the asian american for sure.
2:28 ce moment d'extreme confusion chez le gars
That one French lady with red lipstick was GORGEOUS
LOL 😂 so true and we have more gestures or sounds to express ourselves too !
2:20 “hamhha zeubi” j’ai rit très fort
Why isn’t anybody talking about how good looking the guy in the greyish blue button up is?!!!!😫
I'm french and I neveer used those gestures, I knew some of them but I didn't know it was common
Tu es ptt trop jeune pour utiliser le signe bourré. Après on ne se rend pas compte des gestes qu’on fait. Observe autour de toi et tu verras qu’ils sont beaucoup utilisés
Pas assez observateur alors
Peut-être nordiste ? Dans le sud c'est très commun
@@oni_bunny je vis en région centre et c'est vrai que c'est pas "très commun" comparé au sud apparemment
@@oni_bunny je vis en Normandie et on les utilise tout le temps donc ça dépend des régions apparemment
When you're french but haven't heard about these
Blue shirt guy and asian girl are so cute together 🥰
Great video series. I wish you'd include the names of the people in them.
Im french and I’m learning something new today...
Me too...you never really think when you move that certain gestures cues are part of your culture and thus their meaning obscure for foreigners.
Moi aussi
All of you are like 10. That's why you didn't know those hand gestures.. 😘

@@MrEysox ew, no..
I love the passive aggressiveness in each pair 😂😂😂
The one for “in your face” is the same sign for “don’t” or “not” in ASL!
Wow I didn't know some of these. And I'm french Maybe I'm just living under a tiny rock somewhere in France
Non tkt la vidéo raconte que de la merde XD

No don't worry I only knew about one of them and I don't see anyone using them and I'm French too ;)
@@MajaxPlop si ils restent très utilisés. Plus dans certaines régions que d'autres c'est sûr.
I live in the west of France and we use call those signs, plus many other ones.
Stuff you don't learn in French class!
Only children use these gestures
Bernard Tapie Non ?
@@bernardtapie1092 not at all
I can see some of them dating right after this 😏
Im Dutch and I got a few, like we use the fingers in the nose expression too but not the gesture. Fun to see 😊
"Met vingers in de neus"
I wish there was more!
You can just tell that the guy in the light blue button up is really tall
Enfin le dernier c’est plutôt pour imiter tonton adolf d’habitude
For me it's not a "et toc" it's a 'cheh' 😂, more like I taunt you/serves you right
Yeah, I thought the same. I know this expression better 😂
I am french and here are my feelings about those hand gestures: #1 It took me a while to recognize the gesture probablyI would never use it without saying something like "tu as les chocottes" ("you are afraid"). #2 Yes. #3 Pretty much the same as #1. I recognize the gesture but in practice I would only use it to emphasis a sentence such as "J'en ai marre" ou "ras le bol". #4 Yes but usually associated with a strong facial expression to show my displeasure. #5 "Et toc" ... not since preschool and even then I am not sure? #6 Yes for the expression "les doigts dans le nez" but clearly no for the gesture. Never.
Pretty much exactly my thoughts. I'm French too, if my name hadn't given it away.
Some of them are like Italian gesture
Maybe latin gestures then, we speak a lot with the hands in the french Alps :)
Funny how "Finger in the nose" has no direct equivalent in english, but in french it's frequently said literally "Fingurr in ze nozz"
they should put " la bise " ! N'est-ce pas les Français ;))
''la bise'' signe number one de la France
It's not a sign i think
@@fifaskills9702 indeed
You'd have to agree on the touchy subject of how many to use, and which cheek to start on...
Ça c'est une coutume pas un signe tu veux qu'ils devinent quoi comme signification la dedans faut réfléchir un peu
I use all of them daily exept n°5 because it's more used by kids. And they are much more of them.
To all the people commenting that 'nobody does that in France', what's your point exactly? What's your conclusion? That they made it all up for this video just to take the piss? Or that maybe YOU don't do it but other people do in some regions, something like that? Huh?
I'm french and I never considered it could be an issue.
Wait what? I'm french and for me the first one means it's cold?! 😂
Pour moi ça veut dire je stresse, donc c'est cohérent avec la vidéo 😁
I've seen it used for both. Anything that makes you shake: fear, or cold. Usually clear from the context.
"j'ai les choquottes" doesn't ring a bell?
Je les ai comme ça, mon pote! Comme ça! C'est ma phrase d'accompagnement préférée
Bah non c'est pas avoir froid c'est se chier dessus, pour être précise.
Hahah! This is so on point!
The drunk one actually was used in the US in the past, but you rarely if ever see these days.
Am French and I just realised that we do use a lot of hand gesture by understanding every one of them haha !
The guy in the light button up is suuuuch a fucking flirt.
1:55 : "Cheh!"
In Portuguese the first gesture means "its too crowded"
I'm french and have only heard of #3, all the others I have never seen anyone else use.
Italy really use hand gestures
*french hand gestures* Italian: Am i a joke for you?
Excellent 😉
The afraid, had it up to the head and frustration ones are the exact same in México
i'm french but only know like 2 of those..wth
As a French i never realised that speaking with hand gesture was something "special"...i guess it's a common thing only for Latin culture countries like France and Italy.
I speak both languages fluently so this was very interesting cause I related to both signs
We do all of them in Spanish, or at least in Argentina, except for the drunk one and the fingers/nose one. The afraid gesture is a CLASSIC.
You forgot the "comme ci, comme ça" sign ! (wawing your hand at the level of your belly, at the same time at your head laterally ; still better if also pouting). - Comment ça va ? - Comme ci, comme ça !
I'm from Louisiana so that would be exactly the same, we even still say "comme ci, comme ça", The hand sign is used with English speakers and outside of Louisiana for the same or similar reasons here in the States anyway 😊 But we'll say so "so-so" which.. basically is the same thing so we would understand that one! It s also synonymous with "not bad" like when you kinda like something or just neutral. Just "meh" in both cultures haha
For english who want to know "Finger in the nose" in France it's like "Peace of cake" for the english
Okay... It seems like I am not French enough for this
I only know the "mamma mia" gesture😂😂😂😂 Oh,wait thats italic things!!
VALHALLA YT italic? You mean italian?
@@evelyne8161 something like that😅
Yeah, but the mamma mia gesture doesn't mean mamma mia.
Watch Louis De Funes movies! lol
ive never seen the last ones 😂
We have a similar gesture for drunk or tipsy in the US. People just rarely use it anymore (or maybe it's regional)?
I get that hand gestures aren't exactly the same everywhere in France but I have never *ever* seen anyone use the first hand gesture in my whole life. As for the others, I really see most of them.
What???! I use it all the time and so does people around me! I'm from Paris but I never thought other French people wouldn't use it?! I mean even in movies you can it beeing used, so weird, maybe you never paid attention to people using this cause I can't believe you've never seen anyone use it! I even thought it was international.
Le premier est principalement parisien si je me trompe pas. Je l'ai pas beaucoup vu ailleurs qu'à Paris. Peut être que je l'ai vu aussi vers Avignon ? J'suis pas 100% sûr.
the “et toc” one is like in romeo and juliet when a capulet bites their thumb at a montague or whatever
Yo the High key flirting omggggg
Je n'en connaissais moi même pas certains 😅😂
I know just enough ASL that I thought #5 was "not"
HAHAH “I don’t need to go to therapy again”
I'm French and I only got 2 of them, not even a clue for the others...
As a French who lived in the US I got in trouble many times because my gestures was obscur for Americans and I looked rude 😅
As an American I say ignore the overly sensitive Americans, some of my countrymen are easily offended for no reason.
As a Belgian,I'm confused 😂 (Actually,I only got 3 of them I think but that's probably the influence of French culture on ours)
2:20 édzébi
Here in Spain the fingers in the nose gesture means you're broke, no money. The very first one, that the girl said was like clams, we use to say that a place is really crowded.
For the first one someone said like you for the Portugal.
