context_section_description: More commonly in Russian-influenced areas, the dulya (also known as fig sign or shysh). This gesture is most commonly used to refuse giving of aid or to disagree with the target of gesture. Usually it is connected with requests for a financial loan or assistance with performing physical work. The gesture is typically made with the hand and fingers curled and the thumb thrust between the middle and index fingers. This gesture is also used similarly in Indonesia, Turkey, Korea, China, Mongolia, Hungary (called "fityisz"), and Romania ("figa"). In parts of the United States, the dulya is often used after grabbing a young child's nose in order to make it appear that it has been removed from their face, often accompanied by the phrase, "I've got your nose."
