What are some Macedonian gestures?

Answer 1

Waving the index finger means "no," as does making a clicking sound with the mouth, though both are generally considered rude.

It is impolite to nod in conversation, which indicates one wants to interrupt a speaker, or to nod one's head instead of saying "yes."

Macedonians take offense if they are not looked in the eyes before drinking a toast.

Older rural women, upon hearing of someone's misfortune, attempt to ward off bad luck by pretending to spit three times down their blouse and saying Loshoto da ne chue (in Macedonian) or Skraja da e (in Turkish), meaning "Do not let evil hear."

Macedonians typically greet one another by saying Zdravo(Hello) and shaking hands. Close friends and family members kiss each other three times on alternate cheeks.
