Italian teen: *loses hands in a bike accident* Worried parents: "Will he speak again doctor?"

Me, an italian: that's a calm talk. You haven't seen my grandfather complaining about his awful season for grapes with his mates

I will never forget, for as long as I live, going to Italy in my 20s and being on public transportation watching this guy hold his cell phone with one hand and just having a whole full-blown conversation out loud in Italian…using his other hand to express so much of what he was saying 😂

The man in the chair was powering up his Italian

Everyone: 🤜🏼👇🏼👊🏼👉🏼👐🏼🤜🏼☝🏼🤌🏻 The man sitting in chair:✋🏼

GUY WITH PURPLE SHIRT : “Talk to da hand.”

My Italian grandpa used to say that if you want an Italian to shut up, tie his hands behind his back.

The man sitting on the chair is still waiting for his high five

Italian is spoken entirely with the hands. The sounds are just for fun.

When he said 👐🤲🙌👏🤌👌🫴🤛🫰🖖🤙🙏 I felt that

I went to Milano in '19. As I was riding on my Uber, we came too close to a bus, almost causing an accident. Then I witnessed something amazing, my Uber driver and the bus driver had an entire argument (while driving parallel to each other) with their hands alone. They could not hear each other. But they were very passionate about their reasoning. They parted in good terms though, It was then I felt I was truly living the Italian experience.

Robert de niro really let himself go

How do you stop an Italian from talking?......... Hold his hands! Lol

I'm Italian and I understood the whole conversation by watching the video without sound. That gentleman sitting down is right.

As a Greek i can fairly say that i understand our fellow Italians on how they expressing them selves when they chat. is it the sun, the sea, the weather? Who knows.. :))

God, do I love and miss Italia! I went to school in Rome for a year in college. Best year of my life. I love Italy so much!!

Random italian talks with friends. 1M people: hmm, interesting.

As an italian we don't even notice when we talk with our hands, it's just a normal thing Edit: oop why does this have 14k likes-

His hands speak volumes and said a story of his day. His belly speak VOLUMES and said a story of his life ...

A while ago my dad unknowingly hurt me a bit by saying I “move my hands too much while speaking, it makes no one take me seriously”. Glad to know Italians would have my back.

Just with this short clip, he already narrated a whole movie.

“So there’s this scientist, he turns himself into a pickle.”

This man is legendary. Can we just take the time to appreciate this man? This is wholesome. You know a video is EPIC when it lasts less than a minute and has such obvious qualities as a man gesturing. My man! I could only dream to be this good one day. Etc.....etc.....etc...

Fun fact, This is why Roman Senators had to wear Toga. To forcibly restrict their left arm, to make them deliver their speech in a more dignified manner!

The man is simply explaining all the reasons why he wouldn't give him a high five

If you were paying close attention, this guy just spoiled “The Godfather”.

Believe me, easy to find the Italian secret agent with this one, hand signature moves 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

He is even using his hand to block the sun.

It even looks like while the guy sitting down is not talking his hand is listening😂

The bald man is so polite to raise his hand before speaking

He’s explaining why legally he shouldn’t pay taxes.

I’m Cuban and have been to both Spain and Italy. Felt 100x more at home in Italy.

Purple shirt looks like he’s just waiting for that high five.

*Italian gets into an argument with a Puertorican* Deaf/Mute people: "Mother of god."

This is one of those videos where you know the comment section will be equally as entertaining as the video itself.

I wish I could just hang out with these guys and listen to the stories. Great stuff.

As an Italian who’s on KZfaq too much, I’m now scared to go outside and find a foreign dude with a camera hidden in the bushes filming the conversation I’m having with my friend loll

Elon Musk: we'll comunicate without talking. Italians:

I am now convinced Italians created sign languages. ❤️🇮🇹❤️

this guys is an amazing story teller

I mean, fat Robert De Niro has a point. The sociopolitical situation in the Middle East is getting out of hand.

Italians comments: why is this so interesting? Just 3 guys normally talking...

There is another video on KZfaq about two Italians talking (and gesticulating, of course) and then a woman passes by and they both stop to appreciate her and then continue when she is gone.

It's nice to see people so passionate about what they're talking about. It's better than seeing everyone's hands gripping their phones while staring at screens trying to have a conversation.

We use hands even when we’re having a phone conversation. Not joking

There were three POWs together in a British prison in the Second World War, a German, a Japanese, and an Italian. The British began by torturing the German. After long hours of silence infected by bloodcurdling screams, he talked, and was sent back to the prison, ashamed. He told the others what he had done and urged them to be stronger than he was. They next began torturing the Japanese man. Through all the pain and agony, he stayed strong for three days, but in the end, talked. He was sent back to the prison, having brought shame to himself, his family, and his country. They finally sent in the Italian. For an unending three weeks, they tortured him, until they realized if they did anything else to the poor man, he would die, so they sent him back. When he got back to the prison cell bloody and battered, the other POWs asked him, "So? Did you talk?" "How could I talk with my hands tied behind my back?"

He is so well researched in his topic that his hands also testifying.

The guy holding his hand wasn't stopped from talking, he just had it there and is so italian he couldn't take it down

As an italian i tell you: this is nothing, like the visible part of an iceberg...

The person filming: 🌳👁👄👁🌳

One of the funniest videos i have seen.

There's, some of you may just think the man in the chair is just trying to tell the other man to please be quiet, he may just be blocking the sun out of his eyes.

i am italian and for me this is so normal like no big deal just two people talking but ok hahah

Just realized the guy sitting is covering his face from the sun lmao.

They won't let the guy in the chair speak despite raising his hand for so long :(

Such a charming and handsome Italian mature guy, radiating passion for life and communication and self confidence.

So...not-italian-people just stand still like statues while they talk? I mean, That is weird🤣

For me, as an italian, this Is the most normal thing ever

The hand held up for a whole minute without moving is so relatable. Talk to the hand bro

As a brazilian I see this a lot here too. Who doesn't have a uncle who moves like that while talking?

He looks like he's making them an offer they can't refuse

As an Indian watching this, the gestures surprisingly felt completely familiar to me. Add a bit of nodding, and he'll become an indian uncle discussing politics with other uncles at a social gathering.

Actions speak louder than words

Italians be like: *"They laugh at us because we're different, we laugh at them because they're all the same."*

The rest of the world: speaks audibly* Italian: audible miming*

As a greek we do that also!We have similarities

The pull of the 🤌 to the chest is the funniest

This guy has 100% pinched someone's cheeks and said _"You're a good kid."_

Plot twist: they weren’t talking, just randomly moving their mouths and hands

This is by far, the best inside the NBA news I have ever seen.

As an italian, I can't imagine how you guys can speak without moving your hands, like really, do you guys talk stading still?

Why did I get recommended this after watching the animation of Mario and Luigi arguing

Someday they’ll become so advanced they won’t even need to speak

Meanwhile, the guy in the chair giving the Baldwin pose

“The base she was overcooked, next to no cheese sauce & the pepperoni. There was none…terrible pizza”

I like how the guy sitting is like “talk to the hand” the whole time

Tongue: "Guys, we should go eat something…" Hands: *"My fellow Italians, I have a very deep dissertation you all need to know."*

Love it! I’d like to be able to do this one day. I just think it’s neat using hand gestures as you talk.

Incredible storytelling!

Me as an italian can understand everything they said despite hearing nothing

I'm Greek and this is like watching my Dad talk lol. It's a Mediterranean thing.

His belly telling a whole different story 😂

I am Italian and I live near an American base. So I have a lot of American friends, and we often laugh at this thing which is actually true. We talk with our hands and I really can't stop. The funny thing is that after a while even my American friends started doing it......

Man on the chair gives blessing to the sea and all of his friends.

Makes me remember my Dad sitting on a park bench telling a story and my Aunt, his twin sister, sitting on the front porch of her house across the park, telling us what Dad was saying by watching his hand gestures. Very sweet and memorable, both of then are gone now.

Man, the title is just so awesome 😂

okay he is explaning a choice to do, and something gone wrong before

They asked him where the bus station is. He said: “I don’t know”.

Indians watching this: *Vigorously nodding heads in agreement*

I can imagine still compeletly understand their story even if i'm deaf just from their hands gestures

He said. “The man killed 16 Czechoslovakians, he was an interior decorator.”

Almost ten years later and the guy in the chair is still waiting for that high five 🤚

What a tragic story. Hope everything turned out fine in the end.

For a moment, I thought that the guy sitting was holding his hand up to direct the others to stop talking until the guy in the black shirt was finished lol

I'm an Argentinian, I remember playing a game in school where I had to stop listening to my teacher and only focus on her hands and try to understand. 80% of the time, I would.

My dad is Sicilian and this is exactly how he moves his hands when he talks.

Y’all got a small glimpse of our family get togethers during the holidays.

An indication that the speaker is full of life :)

As a Spaniard, I see this so normal. I mean, in Spain we do also move our hands while speaking. It is called emphasis.

Reminds me of that old joke. How do you stop an Italian from talking? You tie his hands together
