The topic of Matsumi Ladies Clinic Mita English blog in September is about hands and fingers.

In the second part, I create an article about fingers suitable for easy reading.

 

Do you know that each finger has its meaning?

A married woman wears a marriage ring on her left ring finger in many countries.

A ring on a pinky finger as a lucky item is trendy now.

However, it is generally awarded to graduating engineering students as a reminder of the significance of their chosen profession.

 

Fingers are different individually.

They can tell about a person’s character.

 

First, find your strongest finger of the dominant hand.

Your weak fingers are bent and leaning toward another finger.

The strongest must stand up straight.

Did you find it?

Check below.

 

Thumb: Determined to succeed

Index finger: Power and vision

Middle finger: Responsibility, efficiency and wisdom

Ring finger: Creativity and self-expression

Pinky: Communication

 

Your fingertips can also indicate the part of your character.

 

Round fingertips: A harmony lover

Pointed fingertips: An unusual lover, rather than being practical

Square or flat fingertips: Like making an effort for precision

Broad fingertips: Prefer originality to routine

 

It is interesting that finger gestures have different meanings between some countries.

Here I will introduce some examles.

 

In many western countries, crossed fingers stand for “wishing for luck.”

In Vietnam, however, this is an obscene gesture, especially when done while looking at or addressing another person.

The crossed fingers are said to resemble female genitals.

A hand with the index and middle fingers crossed is even the logo for the UK’s National Lottery.

 

Making a circle with your thumb and forefinger means “great” or “fine” in North America.

In France, however, this gesture means “zero.”

It’s also used by scuba divers to communicate that there are no problems.
