saying no without any sound!:

just raise your eyebrows one time, this is the laziest method i think.

rise your head up one time fastly and go to normal position. if you do the opposite, i mean your head goes down it means yes.

raising shoulders, mostly both of them, sometimes one of them. children prefers raising shoulders method to refuse and offer or order.

your face right to left and left to right one or two times. i think this is universal.

Thank you so much Ikicihan.. I see you live in NJ pretty close from where I live.. Anyway I think I´ll just stick with the right to left head movement to say no. But it´s good to know the other ways...

there is no connection between tut and dut.

tut means keep generally. aklında tutmak: keep in mind.

I think that moving your head left to right means "I don´t understand".  A Turkish native could clarify this.

Really? Well, I thought it was universal, a Turkish native speaker should def. clarify this.

Arabs use it also. A very cool gesture.

Another cool way to say No

Nayır  ,  Nolamaz !  We have inherited these from old Turkish movies, the ones especially Cüneyt Arkın was in. {#emotions_dlg.lol}

I strongly recommend every learner watch Cüneyt Arkın movies to perfect their Turkish. {#emotions_dlg.super_cool}
