Question for Germans; I assume this is about counting on fingers- How would you count from 3 to 4? Would you tuck your thumb in and raise everything else?
How in the name of Dionisos stinky feet do you raise your ring finger without your pinky?
That's physically impossible to me.
Same as holding down the pinky with your thumb, that's freaking witchcraft to me.
If I were asking for three beers, I definitely would show the German option, if I'm to count from 1-5 I start with the pinky and end with the thumb.
2 - thumb and index finger
3 - thumb, index and middle finger
4 - thumb, index, middle and ring finger
And, surprise:
5 - all fingers up
That's physically impossible to me.
