Hello lovelies this was an interesting and fun quick read. I’ve lways been fascinated with different languages aswell as body language and their meanings.
We all know everyone has different ways of doing and say things in the native language or additional languages we speak. Saying yes is one I naturally thought existed in all languages in our wonderful world called earth.
But reading this article from duolingo.com, I’ve found that some language don’t use yes at all in their language. Such as Irish and Welsh. The Irish language doesn’t have a word for yes but instead reply repeating the verb from the question like a keyword. This also happens in other countries.
So, if you’re curious you may want to read on to find out which country uses “finger nodding” which country nods their heads for no and shakes their head from side to side for yes. Lastly, another cultural mannerism from India using the head of which I’ve seen my Indian friends use.. Enjoy this five minute read ❤️
