When we were college, you know, we had a guy like a big call. Hi who came from Indonesia
Oh, yeah, right. Yeah, and he wasn't that fluent in Japanese
But he was a really good guy and really good friend. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and I guess that was Kake-chan
You know, he told him that your name is Yamada
Like that Indonesian friend, you know always called you Yamada-san
And you always say "Chige yo" but Kake-chan toha "Hontou wa Yamada dakara"
And then
He continues yeah
Calls you as Yamada-san. Yeah. Yeah, that was funny. Well at some point he actually learned. Yeah
He understood that he was being tricked. Yeah
He's such a good guy. Yeah, he's good. I wonder what he's doing, you know, he's a banker. Oh really?
So he went back yeah, okay. Yeah and kind of yeah, um
It's a bit surprised to me and I think for you, but he's really really like like clever and like oh really?
Yeah, like like he's on some kind of huge bank. Oh really like a delete. Yeah
Wow, yeah, like our image of him was like always like
I don't really care about anything. Yeah

Do you mean
Thank you, let me verbally try to explain this like yeah this podcast yeah, it's all I usually I think I usually do with my left
Hand gesture explanation
hand okay, and like
Your five fingers right the the the tip of your finger they all come together. Okay, that's it
Yeah, and then it's shaped like a like a pair. Yeah, right. It's like a it's not like junk in the goo
No, it's not. It's like a middle of power and goo
That's that's so difficult to understand
It's middle
That is so difficult to understand like I felt like my explanation was better if I ended it like that
Like you just made it so confused like what this is the middle of?
No, no, it's just your tips are like it need to be attached. Yeah. Yes the tips
Right, right. It's like a Tokyo Tower now, right? Like it's
It looks like a Tokyo Tower like if someone tells you to make a Tokyo Tower with your with your fingers
Yeah, this is what it's gonna
I
Still think this explanation is better than the middle of fine
No, it was just addition additional explanation to yours Mount Fuji, you know, um
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean I was like Tokyo Tower. They know be like
Okay. Okay fair. Yeah, no there's like a
Okay, okay Mount Mount Fuji. All right fair
Oh
Like it's boom me, you know, oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's true like yeah for the blooming. Yeah, like the oh, that's true. Yeah
You're right. Yeah, okay, but yeah, so I do this I
Do this do I?
Sometimes yeah, right now but not all the time. Yeah, like this like I
Think I do this like a
Yeah close to my body. Yeah, or but like
Like this is this is moving hand. Yeah, oh open hand version is more like common. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
But yeah, sometimes yeah, I do remember doing it. It's like my body remembers this action. Yeah
Yeah, so I do this when I want to tell something what I'm not fully
Executing it. Yeah
Body language and emotions
To the point that I want to mm-hmm. So I'm using my body language. Yeah to tell you that I'm trying hard
Yeah, tell you or like if my emotions are really high right in my they're really strong
Yeah, then I'll then I'll do this or I just did it now like right now the way I did it was like a sideway
sideways
Mount Fuji
That's like
That's like or like I think I do this when I want to like that's more common, right?
This is more coming. I think this is what she's talking about that. Maybe yeah, like I do this when I'm when I'm like
Hmm
Like to me like I you have something some emotion in me in you but you can actually verbal it
verbalize it you can't you can't oh, it's it's not my
Explanation is not enough kind of
No, that's one. Yeah, and another one that I thought was like
Making a point
You have to do three things. Okay, when you go to when you go back when you go home, okay?
the washer dishes
Like when you're making a point, huh? So you
Clean your bed
Clean your bed. Okay, and then and then yeah, you're right in point. Okay. Yeah, like what bullet points kind of like
Well, I wouldn't necessarily call it bullet points because I'm not I don't have the image of like the bullet points
I do this but like when I make a point when I make a statement
And I guess it's like okay. Oh, it's like a statement. Oh, yeah, like a statement like a like a yeah, okay, okay
Sure. Yeah, I guess that's that's when I use it
I don't I don't know if this is like a cultural thing or just a me thing. It's possible that it's a me thing
Yeah, the sideway thing the sideway thing. Yeah. Yeah, but I see the bit like don't Europeans do like
Yeah, I mean like this or something. Yes, like what is that? What is that? It's like a
ケビンがよくやるハンドジェスチャー
yeah, they
They do this all the time. Uh-huh. It's like a
You want to express something? Okay emotional. Oh
Are they angry or no or sad anything any emotion?
Yeah, any emotion, okay, but not like
So any negative like it's like a yeah by kind of okay. Yeah urgency. Yeah, if it's like they're really happy
Mm-hmm and unbelievably happy like they oh I can believe this. Oh, it's like I get I get it. Yeah
it's like
You know, yeah by kind of mmm, I see
But angry is the most like usable
Situation I guess not the quit the night
