Move hand to greet or signal

To move your hand from side to side to say hello, goodbye, or get someone's attention.

वापर नमुना: to wave [hand/arm] at [someone]
सामान्य चूक:
Learners sometimes confuse 'wave' with 'shake' when describing moving the hand; 'shake' usually means moving up and down or side to side quickly, often in greeting but also in other contexts.
समानार्थी शब्द

विरुद्धार्थी शब्द
ignore (Not acknowledging someone with any gesture or movement.)
