    “he/she is crazy” in Estonia would be making circles toward your temple with your index finger. What’s the gesture in Portugal?

      Is that but on the side of the head. It can also be tapping on the side of the head.

      The Dutch gesture for intelligent is touching the side of the head with the index finger, which can be confused with the second version of the Portuguese one for crazy.

      Mind you, I just realized I’m not sure about those things anymore (I lived for over 2 decades abroad) and had to google to make sure.
