Nodding

[edit]

Does this substitute nod (gesture) or is the meaning different? --84.20.17.84 16:45, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]


This is not something present in Bulgarian culture. --77.54.247.66 (talk) 17:12, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not really a substitute for nodding

[edit]

In my experience as a European non Indian who has done business in India it can mean anything from yes/agree to no/disagree.

Often Indians in India will not say they disagree, but they will say something like 'I have doubts' and a head wobble can accompany that. The real meaning is that they totally disagree.

This is only my experience in South Western India. Maybe there are regional variations.Lkingscott (talk) 14:50, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hollywood

[edit]

Figured that I would add that this is a main point of S01E02 "Outsourced" on NBC —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.29.91.44 (talk) 16:49, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bulgarians?

[edit]

Never seen anyone from Bulgaria doing this; is this true? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.138.53.190 (talk) 17:19, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

video

[edit]

We need a video example. Kaihsu (talk) 11:52, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Removing Bulgaria category

[edit]

Seems like other agree that this category doesn't belong on this article. I am therefore boldly removing the Bulgaria category from this article. Curdigirl (talk) 19:20, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]


Japanese aizuchi

[edit]

This exists in Japanese culture too[1][2], they call it aizuchi. What would be an appropriate way to add it? Make a separate heading for Japan? Subheading under usage? Wizardofalltrades (talk)
