Hello everyone! Thanks for checking out this video! I had so much fun discussing different superstitions with Asol! Make sure you’re careful from now on about if you’re sitting at any table corners, whistling indoors, or giving out watches as gifts! You just never know 😉

"if you're superstitious, don't give the watch to other people, but you can give it to me."~Emma.😂🤣

Giving someone a watch for me is sign that the person is always late for the school , college , work or hang out with friends

Thumbs up! I had fun watching you discuss superstions and I had also enjoyed watching you speak English.

Very interesting video. The funny thing is that Emma talks about superstitions in the US, but many of them also work in Russia. You can not walk under a standing ladder, be afraid if a black cat crossed the road, break a mirror - to 7 years of misfortune, etc. :)) But perhaps we have a superstition that does not exist with US. If you meet a woman with full buckets (in some cases, if she crosses the road to you) then it's good luck, and if with empty buckets, then it's bad luck. The fact is that in the old days in villages water was carried in buckets from a water source or from a river. And so it was often possible to meet a woman with buckets and a yoke on the street. There are also a lot of superstitions in different types of activities that are very interesting, and often even funny. For example, my grandmother sincerely believes that you cannot give towels as a gift to anyone, otherwise you will soon part with this person and you will not see him again. And she can directly prove that "here I gave towels to that person and that person, and we quickly quarreled, or they left, or something else." 😄

Well, there's a hack if you want to give someone a watch (or any other "unlucky" present), you can take something small from them (like, 1 cent or a candy) as if they are buying the watch, and then the "bad luck" doesn't work 😂😂

Yes, that's exactly what they do. "Here, take one ruble, like you sold me this watch or towel."

Hello, I’m Kurdish 🥺🤍!

Emma you' ve really a nice stuff holds good keep up🥰🥰😘😘

The Russian girl didn't mention that if there is somebody gives you a watch as a present, you should give them a small amount of money back. Even if it's like 1 cent. Thus you will 'buy' it. It's kinda a cheat.

This show presented many new superstitions that I hadn't heard of before. I rarely whistle, but I wouldn't think about where I was, unless the noise was distracting to others.

I have never heard about knocking on the wood or that about giving watch, but I heard all the rest. (I am not from Russian, but I am half Ukrainian)

We have a similar superstition in the US South. You will always be single if someone sweeps the floor under where you are sitting.

I the gifting of a watch being a bad thing isn't exclusive to Russia either. If I'm not mistaken

Whistling in Korea used to signify bad luck at least according to my grandparents. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was also the case in other parts of East Asia like China. It’s because thieves signaled target homes to one another by whistling. I was told “don’t whistle a thief might hear you.” Probably the same root to why it’s considered bad luck in Russia.

From what I've heard, it comes from the belief that there is a spirit that protects your home and your property. But he hates loud and high-pitched sounds, especially whistling. So if you would often whistle at home, he could leave your house, and your property and money would be left without his protection. But actually your version with thieves makes even more sence

That was really interesting, it's fun seeing how diverse superstitions are, i would also like to know how they originated, i'm gonna stop whistling at home, maybe that's why i lose money

Hey just discovered these videos they are so fun to watch! I love to learn more about Russian culture! but at least 95% of the faces I see in the thumbnails to your video are white people. People of different races have VERY different lived experiences, especially in big and diverse countries like the US. I would really love to see you all diversify your cast! I think it would bring so much more to your channel, not only education wise, but also by giving people the opportunity to see themselves represented in your videos :) Maybe hire more than one person to represent each country! or at least for large countries.

5:15 i've suddenly realised that my auntie gave me a watch as a bday present 😅 I'm doing fine, so i guess it's alright) Tbh i also don't really believe in those things) Btw I'm russian lol

We have some superstitious beliefs like that as well lol. For ex- cutting half burnt wood, cat crossing path, looking at broken mirror, eating meat on Monday & Thursday erc bring bad luck

I haven't heard about many of them 🤔 Maybe because I'm 16...

guys white background is big pain for eyes

White flowers are for funerals, as are even numbers for flowers. You never gift a blade, you have to ask for at least one cent for it, to make it a sale (otherwise blood will come inbetween you). Iwill NEVER walk underneath a ladder (I also dislike the underneath of stairs) proven to bring unluck. Seating at the table is more to do with status, at the corner you do not have a place at the table/you are left out/forgotten. Whistling brings fire to the house (It'll burn down). Opening an umbrella indoors will bring unluck (storms) upon the household. To prevent bad luck, one spits three times over the left shoulder (Slavonic cultures) or knocks three times on wood (Germanic cultures)

If we whistle at night: You are inviting the devil spirit.

Emma : You are a great addition to the channel, by the way, you are very beautiful and so so so so so cute

That's not how "knock on wood" is used.

In Chinese superstition, giving someone a watch or clock as a present means "Your time is up" meaning that person who receives the gift will die soon. It's pretty much a superstition the older generation will believe. But these days, nobody really cares about such superstitions anymore.

In the US if someone is sweeping and goes across your foot with a broom you have to spit on it or it’s bad luck for you.

Finally, Russians!

Thank you for the feedback! It’s tough because the USA is a very big country and the regions are so different and everyone has a different experience. I actually talked about other things but they were cut out of this video. Also we’re very general because of the audience of this channel- not everyone knows a lot about American culture and what may apply in my region of the USA doesn’t apply in others. If I’m too specific then people won’t understand- so I was asked to talk more about general or “famous” superstitions that most people would know rather than specific ones. Hope this helps understand where I was coming from and I appreciate this feedback!

I know better but I can't help but want to give Asol my condolences on having that name around L1 English speakers

Unfortunately I found the Russian woman's name funny. It mean real or down to earth in my language. What else where did you think I was thinking.

Who the heck whistles indoors in America 🇺🇸? Answer, no one! It’s just rude.
