Number two is the signing meaning for look. |
Re: Learn Spanish gestures!
no 3 is definitely "shes got massive melons"
sorry girls....:D |
Re: Learn Spanish gestures!
The typical Brit reaction to number two certainly explains why the Spanish get to think we are aggresive....................mistakenly,of course.....:frown:

Re: Learn Spanish gestures!
Marisol, I'm not going to tell you. Suffice to say I'm sure Fer may know of it, certainly from his teenager days and watching 'Los Angeles de Charlie'!!!!
But anyway, I'm glad they have taken away from the link that awful, insulting and erroneous description of the 4th gesture. They have yet to put in a new one so it is just a repeat of the 3rd. Yet, Marisol, I'm sure you share my disgust when they said it was "Güeno, güeno, güeno" (pronounced more or less 'When-o') and put it forward as legitimate Spanish, then tried to say it was a dialect to mean 'Bueno, Bueno, bueno'. What dialect????????????? They said it was a gesture more appropriate for southern Spain. Eh??????????? I've lived in the north and the centre and the south and that gesture is widely used. As for 'Güeno' - they try to suggest it is from the Andaluz dialect (although not in so many words). Since when was Andaluz nothing more than an accent, a regional thing. Is Geordie a dialect of English??? Of course not. Yes, they put their own slant on words etc, but I'm sure if a Newcastle man were to write what he says as 'I divenae na' he would write it as 'I didn't know'. |

As you say, güeno is nothing, nobody says that neither in Andalucia nor anywhere else, nevertheless, the "gesto" is very normal, is used many times and its not rude. Its like when you put your thumb up as saying that everything is ok. I didnt understand the awful words that go with it but many times i dont understand anything, really. I dont know if someone is telling something wrong or not but its not your fault but mine. by the way, i have sent a PM marisol |

I dont know if someone is telling something wrong or not but its not your fault but mine. by the way, i have sent a PM marisol will clearly come as a surprise to you, and finally, this hand gesture to signify that everything is fantastic is exclusive to just the south. Still, it was the Guardian, not exactly famous for getting things right!!!!! And tell the truth, now you know................. Fer & Los Angeles de Charlie????????? :rofl::rofl: |
