Answer:
Nodding the head almost everywhere in the world is 'yes' and shaking the head from side to side means 'no'. A slight head nod is used as a greeting gesture, especially when two people greet each other from a distance. It send the message, 'Yes,I acknowledge you'.
The speed and frequency with which a person nods when you are talking to them can convey different meanings.

You should be careful when nodding to mean "yes" and shaking your head when you mean "no" in Bulgaria, as this is one of the places where the meanings of these gestures are the opposite. Balkan countries such as Albania and Macedonia follow the same head-shaking customs as Bulgaria.There are varying theories as to why nodding is so frequently used to indicate acceptance. One simple theory is that it is a form of bowing, indicating that one is prepared to accept what another person is saying or requesting.
