Portugal 

1. To get someone’s attention, a Portuguese will extend their arm upward, palm out and wiggle the fingers up and down, as if they were patting

someone on the head.

2. To signal that everything’s OK, use the “thumbs up” sign, sometimes with both hands.

3. A gesture particular to Portugal is when you want to signal that you have enjoyed your dinner and want to compliment the hostess. At the end of the meal, simply kiss the side of your index finger and then pinch your earlobe between the kissed index finger and the thumb.

4. The chin flick gesture in Portugal is done by brushing your fingers (palm inward)off the bottom of your chin and away from your face. This signals that “I don’t know”. To do the same gesture, but using you’re thumb would mean that something no longer exists, or someone has died
