Nodding

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

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

Removing Bulgaria category

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

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)
