Culture: Los saludos en los países hispanohablantes

What hand gesture should you not use in some countries in Latin America? When should it be used?

Just like words have variations, greetings and gestures may have different meanings in some Spanish-speaking
countries. Sometimes you extend your hand and move your index finger back and forth a couple of times to tell
your best friend, your aunt, or someone in your school to come to you. In some countries in Latin America, this
signal is only done romantically or when you’re in a relationship with a person, so be careful!

Why do you put a hand on someone’s shoulder? Because you just greeted them/are greeting them

What would you do to greet someone you don’t know? Just shake their hand
¡Hola, amigos! Me llamo Vicente y tengo diecisiete años. Yo soy tejano-mexicano. Toda mi familia es mexicana y
vive conmigo en Boca Ratón, Florida. Hoy te voy a ayudar a saludar a tus amigos y a personas nuevas como
todo un hispanohablante.
En las fiestas familiares, mi familia saluda de diferentes formas. Mis amigos y familiares saludan con un beso en
la mejilla o un abrazo. También ponen una mano en los hombros antes o después de abrazar a sus amigos o
familiares

Es común apretar la mano y mirar a los ojos de la persona que saludas. This usually happens when you don’t
know the person in a business situation.

translation:
Hello, friends! My name is Vicente and I am seventeen years old. I am Texas Mexican. My entire family is
Mexican and lives with me in Boca Raton, Florida. Today, I am going to help you greet your friends and new
people like a Spanish speaker.
At family parties, my family greets each other in different ways. My friends and family members greet each other
with a kiss on the cheek or a hug. Before and after hugging, they put their hands on their friends’ and families’
shoulders.
It is also very common to grab the hand of and look at the person you are greeting in the eyes.
