Double Quotation Y(・ω・)Y
In conversation,when you don't want to use a direct expression or meaning, you may change shapes of your hands.
Both shapes look like a hand of a baseball pitcher who is throwing a straight ball.
Actually, some of students talked to me with this action.
I think Japanese people seldom use body-language, except for "┐(´ー`)┌"←feeling bored, tired or fed up.
Why?The reason is we have vague expressions more than other languages?I don't know.
However I just realize we often use kaomoji(face mark made of letters or simbols).
It's a kind of body-language, isn't it?
I'm in a mess...(-ω-;)

You mean, "we both use kaomoji" right? If so, that's correct.
でも、( ̄◇ ̄;)せいしょうがない。
But, there is no real name for it. -_-;
Thank you for your comment.
Yes, I wanted to write so(-ω-;)
When you don't want to use a direct expression or meaning in conversation, you can use a certain hand gesture.
It resembles the shape of a baseball pitcher's hand when gripping a ball.
Some of my students recently spoke with me using this gesture.
I think Japanese people seldom use body-language, except for "┐(´ー`)┌"←feeling bored, tired or fed up. ("A shrug of the shoulders" or "A slump of the shoulders"... Try not to use emoticons too often.)
Why? I don't know. Perhaps its because Japanese has a more pronounced feeling of vagueness to it than most other languages?
However I just realized we often use kaomoji (faces made from letters or symbols).
Isn't that a kind of body-language?
Thank you for your corrections and comment.
Well,,,OK, I'll examine how often I use body language.
And I'll also try not to use emotions too often, thanks for the advice!
