Kissing Around the World What is the meaning of a kiss? That depends on where you are. A kiss means “I love you” in many countries, but not everywhere. In some countries, a kiss can be a friendly greeting, or a goodbye. South Americans and Europeans say hello with kisses much more often than North Americans. They also sometimes say goodbye by kissing their own fingertips and then “blowing” the kiss away. In these regions, men at business meetings might even greet each other with a kiss on the cheek, instead of a handshake. Most North Americans would consider this very strange!

Then there are beliefs that kissing has special meaning. In ancient Rome, a kiss was seen as a legal agreement. That’s why the groom at a wedding must kiss the bride. And did your mother kiss your hurt finger to make the pain stop? That custom comes from England. People there used to think that kisses had magical powers.

Not everyone in the world kisses though. In past centuries, European explorers found many places where kissing was nonexistent. For example, Eskimo couples rubbed their noses together instead of touching lips, and so did African tribes and Pacific Islanders. The Ainu of Japan preferred to bite their loved one’s cheek. These days, kissing is mostly a sign of romance. Thanks to international travel and sharing customs, that meaning has become universal.

A. Many couples, such as Eskimos, do not kiss. B. A kiss can only mean “hello”, “goodbye”, or “I love you.” C. Everyone in the world uses a kiss to say “I love you”. D. Kissing has different meanings in different parts of the world.
