I hate this gesture, it's so childish.
Maybe it should be specified that it's mostly used by women. I've rarely seen men doing it unless you know...
My aunt has a story about a man who was teaching a Japanese class to non-Japanese students, and introduced himself by repeatedly pointing at his nose and saying "Watashi wa sensei desu." Later he gave them a quiz where one of the questions asked what "Watashi wa sensei desu" meant, and they all answered, "This is my nose." This is why context is important. XD
HI, at the end of this video, she shows a gesture which is not explained in the following lesson. What does it mean?
Leo san,
Konnichiwa.
