What type of gesture has a direct verbal translation?

Gestures with direct verbal translations are called emblematic gestures.

Here are some examples:

* "Thumbs up": means "good" or "okay"

* "Peace sign": means "peace" or "victory"

* "OK" sign: means "okay" or "all right"

* "Shaking your head": means "no"

* "Nodding your head": means "yes"

It's important to note that the meaning of emblematic gestures can vary across cultures, so it's always best to be aware of your audience.
