Answer:
Held between the thumb and fingers of the right hand, they are used as tongs to pick up portions of food, which is prepared or is cut up and brought to the table in small and convenient pieces, and (except in Korea) as means for sweeping rice and small pieces of food into the mouth from the bowl. Many rules of etiquette govern the proper conduct of the use of chopsticks.
Chopsticks are traditionally held in the right hand only, even by left-handed people. Although chopsticks may now be found in either hand, a few still consider left-handed chopstick use as improper etiquette.
Chopsticks are simple in design: merely two thin rods (top and bottom area smaller than one square centimeter, length varies), each slightly tapered. The smaller, round ends come in contact with the food. Some designs have rings carved around the tips, which aid in grabbing food. In chopstick-using cultures, food is generally made into small pieces. Also, rice in East Asia is often prepared to be sticky, which leads to "clumping" of the rice conducive to eating with chopsticks, while rice prepared using Western methods tend to be "fluffy", and is particularly difficult to eat with chopsticks. The stickyness also depends on the cultivar of rice; the cultivar used in the chopstick countries tends to be japonica, which is stickier than indica, a rice used in curries. In East Asian cultures, people first learn to use chopsticks as children. Chefs and cooks also use chopsticks as a cooking tool.

hold one like a pen and use the other with ur thumb and index finger to make them touch. practice and you'll get it
You hold one stick in the same manner as you write with a pencil. The other stick you hold loosely next to the first and squeeze them like tweezers. Hold firm so as not to drop. Stabbing your food with chopsticks is considered bad luck.
Chopsticks? Hold one like a pencil and let the other rest on your thumb.
there is no answer to that question it just take practice. thats all. read the directions and u will become a natural at. but u really can't explain this to someone without showing them how to do it.
Just like u hold Chinese woman. Tight and with a grip.
I am guessing you mean Chopsticks? The next time you go to an asian restuarant, and if they have them ask your server, they will be glad to show you. I know they are held close to the top and .... hmmm, funny I know how to use them but it is hard to explain....................... try this link

Hold one stick at the base of your thumb resting against your curled three fingers. Hold the other stick above the first stick with yout thumb and index finger. Now move the second stick like a pencil between your thumb and forefinger, while pressing it agianst the stationary first stick. Practice.
You mean chop sticks? Buy the wooden ones in the red paper wrapping They have directions on the outside. Or .. you can learn how I did. I asked the waitress at my local take-out place and then I practiced.
Lol!
I used to be in the same boat. Ease with using chopsticks I think, comes with practice. The first time I went for sushi, I had SO much trouble with the chopsticks! The waitress was kind enough to turn my chopsticks into a sort of "training wheels" configuration, using the folded wrapper and a rubber band. Then, they became sort of like tweezers, and were much easier to use.
However, I was intent on learning how to hold them properly, after inconveniencing (yet amusing) many waitresses, as well as my date!
Again, I think it comes with practice. A lot of the wrappers for the chopsticks have directions right on the paper on how to use them.
Basically, the best way someone explained it to me was to hold the first one like you do a pencil. It should be steady in your hand, between your forefinger and middle finger, letting it rest in the pit between your forefinger and thumb. This one is stationary and doesn't move! The second chopstick should be held between your thumb and forefinger, I believe, and move up and down, or as needed, in order to grab and secure your food.
Did you know that it is bad manners in the Japanese custom, to poke your chopstick through the middle of a sushi roll, in order to pick it up and eat it? There are lots of other neat little customs in other cultures that are so different from the American, and yet I like learning about them!
Practice makes perfect! You'll get it. Good luck! :)
