Waving is a common gesture used to communicate a friendly greeting or farewell. However, there are many synonyms that can be used to add variety or intensity to this simple action. Instead of waving, one could opt to hand signal, signal, signalize, flag, or beckon. If the waving is particularly enthusiastic, it could be described as flapping, fluttering, or brandishing. Conversely, if it is more restrained or subtle, it could be described as nodding, gesturing, or motioning. Experimenting with synonyms can add dimension to one's writing or communication style and serve as a fun exercise in vocabulary building.
