This really Got me offguard, I almost thought he was insulting me at first 😅🤷🏼♂️ that’s why it’s so important to be open for different cultures to be different than ourselves and not judge, but try to understand.
If we start an interaction by judging , then we will always find most people from other cultures to be “insulting”, “bad mannered”, “weird”, “disgusting” etc.. But if we first try to understand their culture, understand their way of eating, their way of interacting, then, 100% of the times I end up falling in love with their culture, and I learn something new and fascinating 🙌✨
Also, I always find so interesting how after you notice one thing, you can’t stop seeing it everywhere!
Now that I noticed this Turkish feature 🇹🇷 it’s so much easier to understand them when they speak, because most of the time they do this signs while they speak, so even if I don’t know Turkish, I can understand what they say by reading their signs 🙌
But I have to say this is a feature of the people who live in Turkey, but many of the people in this video are not actually from Turkish descent, but Kurdish, Assyrian, Arab and also Turkish 🇹🇷
This country is spectacular 🙌🫶

people I this country make a little sound with their mouth what is this? let me show you I was traveling in Turkiye making a video about this guy and when I asked him a question he just looked at me and did this I was so confused then someone else asked him a question and he replied with words but then I asked him again and again he did this sound so I said to my friend why is he being weird to me? and she said he is just answering you the “Turkish way” the Turkish way? yes! the Turkish way! turns out Turkish people have a special way of communicating without words for example if you want to say no you do this if you don’t have money you do this and if you’re afraid you do this they have signs for everything so if you are too lazy to learn Turkish you can just learn how to communicate the Turkish way! this is Alan’s Theory keep it creative by the way this doesn’t mean OK

Arabs do it too, I think it got carried from the multiple empires that crossed the region.
What sound do they do for denying the armenian genoicde?
In singapore and malaysia, we do this too but different meaning
One 'tsk':annoyed
Multiple 'tsk':u should be ashamed
Examples:
'*tsk* why tf cant i get the string through the sewing needle
'*tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk* AINT NO SHE WAY SHE STARTED AN ONLYFANS'
Bro everyone does the no thing
Same in iran
Yeah it looks like a Albert Einstein but they don't look at the comments I I think in one second
When you say it three times, it changes according to your head movement. Sometimes shame on you. You did it wrong. Sometimes if you say it fast, be careful! Don't do it! The meaning… just one it s means no 🙂
We do it in Iran too lol to say no also about the the last gesture please dont show the 👍🏻 gesture to people in iran-
Same here in iran😂😂😂
We do that or just say noch
And if you want to say shame on you just say that more than once
Değil, yok, hayır demek. Çık(chk). Nope. Nah.
I am turkish and i have never seen that sign for no money. We mostly do something like waving down next to neck when we bargain and saying its too much. And 👌 means perfect.
That sound is no
Sucking teeth is also a middle eastern response. It’s usually to say “no” or to express disappointment.
That have also georgians
Us romanians, when we do this tz it means we are annoyed when someone asks us like
"I don't want to talk to you"
Kind of that way
Closing you're eyes for 2 seconds means yes
Its called turkey 🦃 not türhkehiye.
Same as Germany being called Germany and not Deutschland. Just because erdogan wants his stupid country to be more important and not to be called a 🦃
Alyssa Edwards okrrrrr?
Thats a 'tsk' right
The "ts" is also used in other places such as Greece
and in the grecce do this from 1609
such a bullshit video. i'm turkish.
That's "no" in Italy
We do that in Romania too
he says "no"
As bayrakları as as as
What did you ask the Turkish man? So, thanks to the comments, I know that that sign means "no".
Same in Romania!
As a Turk, this is very misleading, the “tsk” way of saying “no” exists. but is not a “way of communicating”. It’s simply an uncommon and casual gesture meaning “nah”. Also the other gestures are extremely rare. People don’t go around with their thumbs stuck under their front teeth when they’re scared, or flick their throat when they mean they can’t afford something. It’s just basic gestures. Usually conveying over-exaggeration of an expression. This post is pure bait on people’s interests, making it seem like we have a whole set of geeks when it’s just a bunch of local cultural gestures.
Indians do same sounds. Surprisingly same meanings as well for each sound. 😮
In Slavic languages that sound is a sound or verbal sign of exasperation. It is not solely Turkish.
