Nyle DiMarco & Chella Man Teach Us Queer Sign Language | them. - Розваги
Chella man is such a beautiful boy.
army!!
ughkook hh s ubhsub
Very
attacksquid223 they just said he’s a beautiful boy ... I would call nyle a beautiful man because that’s what he is ... why are you so pressed
attacksquid223 chella's last name is 'Man' so stfu???
Chella’s style, glasses and tattoos are giving me life.
Alyssa Manwarren it almost looks like sound waves on his forearm like he uses his hands to voice his opinions
AnyaDicki6969 lol that’s honestly soooo cool!
honestly he is really attractive for me
it's so interesting how they look at each others face when they talk and not their hands, i never noticed that before
A lot of meaning is conveyed in "body language" such as facial expressions.
Claire Bates Facial expression can completely change the meaning of a sign. It's definitely the most important part of ASL.
Facial expressions is the main part of figuring out what someone is saying in ASL it’s like the tone of voice
Facial expression is super important when using asl, it can change a signs meaning completely by what your face reads or how your body language is portraying. You’re kind of looking at signs indirectly (kind of with your peripheral) most deaf people don’t stare at their hands when signing, when learning signs yes but after a while you don’t really have to concentrate on that. I took a few courses of asl and I really recommend learning a little, the Deaf community is really lovely and Deaf culture is super interesting and I think we should all be a little more involved if we have the opportunity to be ☺️😊
Sign language is not the main important aspect. The thing they do is lip reading to understand what actually they say gestures they make and mimics basically are the flavor but main dish is usually on lips where the story is told. Reading lips is like the main thing cuz you may be a deaf guy but you may have an occasion which you have to talk to a person who doesn't know SL at that point lip reading saves live and improvising cuz body language is almost universal and you can convey the meaning without being too dependant to your local SL
THEY ARE SO DAMN FINE
I wanted to open my bussy for them.
@@jetblackhair92 Was that necessary? People already sexualize Nyle enough
What's "miss vanjie' in sign language then?
We use legs for that one. Just walk backward slowly. :)
jk
Wing Kin Winki Leung lmao gurl 😂
Wing Kin Winki Leung lmfaooo
Fingerspell in ASL (American Sign Language) if it’s a name. Of course, Deaf Community often gives name sign using letter of the first name ( some use gesturing or actions to describe the person).
miss vanjie... miss *pause* VANJIE
I only know how to say sorry in sign language, but a couple of weeks ago I had the chance to say it and I felt so proud for that one word. A customer came to my register buying a soda and an avocado. After I did we usual greetings of a verbal hello, he pointed to his ears in order for me to know that he was deaf. After he said that I was a tiny bit shocked because I felt rude for accidentally speaking to a deaf person. Because of that, I looked at him and signed the word sorry. His reaction to that made me emotional. It was almost as if he never had received a response from any cashier ever. After I said that he expressed this feeling of gratitude and expressed this "don't worry about it" reaction. After I was done with his transaction, he smiled a huge smile and said thank you and even tried to say it aloud. This has stayed with me because not only did I make someone's day but because I also communicated with a deaf person and, even though it was just a word, his gratitude made me feel so proud of myself.
this was so nice to read. next time, make sure you ask if they know asl, because not every deaf person was able to learn it, unfortunately.
awww ! this was inspiring 👏 It reminds me to keep practicing sign language 🙏
great story. i had to look it up the sign just now so i can memorize it!
The fact that my asl teacher assigned us to watch this video is so great I'm so glad people like us are getting more representation in school
this is great and on a shallow note: there's a lot of beauty in this video!
3:33 That awkward moment when Chella's speaking and the camera does a close-up of Nyle…
Right?! I was like, "I was listening to Chella, so if you could not cut him off mid-sentence for dumb aesthetic reasons, it'd be much appreciated."
I am living, as a queer, trans gender neutral person who is in in the deaf community, this is great seeing two of my role models doing a video together.
love how in this video on asl they zoomed in on their faces so we couldnt see them signing...
Right?! I don't think signing impaired "artists" have any idea how frustrating that is. Obviously we can read the subtitles, but considering the message of "inclusivity" they're trying to spread, actually practicing what they preach would be a lovely change of pace.
Why is Chella so gorgeous for???
When Nyle taught Chella how to sign "spectrum" ... it was rlly cute :')
i think i became pregnant just watching this.
lol. lol
Lol lol thats great,wow!
I didn't know I needed this, but I definitely did. ♥️
So if you move your finger doing the lesbian sign up, what does it mean?..
Mark Carat thank you! Yikes I've been signing wrong... Super uncomfortable.
What does it mean
@@maddiegibbons4059 Wait, what does it mean? I don't see the original comment responding.
@@lockheart619 I'm pretty sure its a more vulgar translation, like not quite a slur- but referencing oral. Like not as polite a sign. I definitely shouldn't say for sure tho, I'm not a hearing impaired individual. But I can see how the sign they demonstrate is more polite and less suggestive.
Well when Nyle moved it up it looked a lot like the sign for “hmm?”(as in thinking/contemplating)But there is movement involved in that one which he didn’t do so I’m not sure if it means something else.
HELL YESS I LOVE CHELLA. I LOVE THIS VIDEO
Such a beautiful video. I learnt so much as a non-deaf person that can't sign. It was especially interesting seeing the last point about how its more appropriate to let others with experience of a particular word to construct their own sign, instead of creating one and then imposing it. This is 100% my fave queer youtube channel
I’m so sorry but I couldn’t focus on what they were saying because they’re so beautiful like probably the prettiest guys I’ve ever seen
It's too fast 😲. I have to pay attention to the signs, the hands and Nyle's eyes. 😂
Where was the quiz?? I was ready for it. 😂
The grammar underneath some of those signs is amazing. Queer, coming from quer in German, meaning 'oblique, cross' or in other words not straight, but to the side, or bent. The fact that the ASL sign is also oblique or a bent gesture matches to the etymology from German, and because of the rainbow association ASL has paired to it. The ASL sign conveys more associative meaning than a spoken word. Likewise, as they explain the sign for trans to be a compound of 3 words, this is almost unseen in English. Likewise, for the sign drag queen, the shape is forming the big hair, but the hand is also going from the male area of the face towards the female area. Maybe coincidental, also that the flip of the hand is showing the curls of the hair, but the form is similar to the trans sign. Of course trans and drag are very different things, but the similarity on an identity spectrum is interesting, in that the hand shape shows a wig in one to show entertainment perhaps, and the other one in the 'myself' location to show the authenticity of the person's identity.
thank you for explaining all this! sign language is so gorgeous
it has nothing to do etymologically with the germanic root, it's a homophone of the sign for "rainbow"
wait nyle is lgbt?!
Isaac Davis YESSS!! A HOT MAN IS ONE OF US take that straights .. lol
Isaac Davis When did he come out as that??
I thought fluid
shah hayde he came out as sexually fluid
Yes, he’s sexually fluid
Chella man wow....how can one look so cute and gentle and yet so manly. Now thats just rude of him
I had to watch this video in slow motion 😭. Glad I found ittt!
I change my UA-cam Video Playback Settings to play at a much slower speed, it helps me see the signs you teach at a much slower pace. Easier to learn, for me.
Love it! My sister is transgender and I really liked how they explain that it encompasses beautiful myself becoming. It's perfect! Thank you for this video.
I came for the sexy Nyle and found another sexy. 😍😍😍 Cool signs tho
Linguistic and cultural diversity. I loved the video.
Hi Rayan
Nyle, I'm loving the scruff and camouflage look!
Love this & it’d be awesome to see a follow up video with others like pansexual, non binary, gender fluid, asexual, and others that weren’t mentioned here
I tried to adjust my phone's sound volume. Lol
I started learning asl on UA-cam and I was wondering if there is such a thing as having a ‘gayccent’ when signing. I’ve since learned that there is and honey I’m gonna be signing for the gawds! Thank you for this! Idky this isn’t taught in schools.
I asked my friend and he said there definitely is a 'gayccent'
They give big brother-little brother energy and I'm living for it.💙💙💙
Nyle looks like the guy who bae kennish likes in the show swiched at birth
I've been trying to learn these signs, and other videos seem to be only for those who are super-fluent in sign and/or part of the deaf community. Thank you for making something that we hearing folks can use to learn!
Thank you for sharing! As a non deaf person this was really beautiful to watch without speech. I love the fact that these two are highlighting communities I wouldn't have thought of. So truly thank you
thank you so much for this!!!!
I love this! I cried at the signs for "trans" and "queer"
SAME! They are both so so beautiful.
Interesting that you specifically say not to move the hand further up for "lesbian" cause that means something very different, when the hand further up (ie the mouth is in the v part of the shape your hand makes) is the sign for lesbian in Auslan (Australian Sign Language). Curious what it means in asl and why its so important to not get mixed up :P
Very interesting and would be very educational but I'm new to sign language and it was way too fast! Including the subtitles! Sorry guys!
Ima soft butch Grama , who has a boy with Down syndrome. (Hence, why I’m learning to sign). You guys are SOOOO CUTE!!!!
Dang the guy with the beard is gorgeous!
At my hometown we don't have a sign language. But we understand each other by the expression and gesture. In fact, there this little boy who can't hear but still is the most talkative among his friends 😂
I LOVE THIS KILL IT CHELLA HE IS BLOWNG UP
For intersex you could use your index and pinkie on one hand and your other fingers crunched as a mix between ‘X’ ‘Y’ and ‘Both’ signs
They're both so hot I'm stressed!
dammit. didn't know i could love Nyle even more 😍 when he said he wants everyone to learn sign language, he really meant it
major respect towards this wonderful (role) model 😊
It's impossible to listen what Nyle says. It's a sin to be this good looking.
Yes exactly. Whole time i was lost in his eyes.
Listen? you mean look lmao
This really is an amazing vid. Also, what is the song? I love it!
I love that they are show the sign language sign....but they really need to SLOW DOWN and pause on the sign the point is to actually teach people.
Chella man is hella cute and nyle dimarco is hella hot
MY EYES HAS BEEN BLESSED
Love this so much. Y'all at THEM are doing the best damn WERK!!!
Ok y las personas que no sabemos inglés
Deberían poner subtítulos también en español
How do you say "and I oop-" in sign language?
Watching two fine men to start my morning.
Loved this
As a person who isn't deaf, I just wanted to say it was a considerate music choice, because it didn't sound bad when slowed down. Also really helpful stuff. I wish there was a sign for "Fluid" though...
I adore this channel, this is so important!
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
2:48 Cool shout-out to intersex representation. There are a lot of cool words to learn in sign, and making them for more of the gender and sexual identities makes the language even more universal. Awesome 😊👍👍❤️❤️
Thank you! 💜I'm bisexual and needed to know how to sign it to my friends and such. No I don't use sign language unless I want to tell someone without verbal communications.
Good god they are both so frickin BEAUTIFUL I CANT EVEN FOCUS ON THE SIGNSSSSS
They are both so beautiful 💕
Chella doesn't seem as fluent as Nyle in ASL, I'm not familiar w/his backstory, can someone tell me if he grew up oral or wear cochlear implants? Thanks
LosAnggraito I went to school with chella. I don’t know everything but I know that chella can speak. Look on the UA-cam channel.
Thanks guys! I just checked out his YT channel, he's pretty awesome.
Yeah he's not as fluent. if you look up his channel he has videos talking about learning ASL later in life and stuff. Also generally people with implants or people that are HoH tend to sign a bit differently than people born Deaf and raised in the Deaf community and school system. I'm HoH and I'm very comfortable with ASL and I use it often but my signing speed and terms I use are more like Chella because I didn't grow up in that Deaf environment that shapes your language.
I am HoH and I didn't grow up around the deaf community. I still rarely sign, I mainly lip read. When I do sign, it is very different than a person who grew up in it. Mine is much like a slow, (ridiculously slow) southern drawl 😉😂
mommymode1985 oh ASL is so important for HoH people! Definitely teach him while he's young, if you notice him learning English a bit slower, as a lot of HoH kids do, you will be shocked by how easily ASL will just come to him because it will be so much easier for him to understand.
I suggest you find a Deaf/HoH tutor for your son to spend some time with so he can learn in a more native way, while you and your family would probably benefit more from ASL classes to start off. And then once you know a little ASL just try and immerse yourself in your local Deaf community; it will be scary at first but I promise you will learn so much faster by being involved in the community and culture. Most Deaf people are super willing to help if you tell them you are learning so your HoH son can learn his language they will be more than happy to go slow with you and teach you new signs.
Good luck! It's going to be difficult at first but I promise his life will be so much richer for knowing both of his languages :)
I learned the sign for ‘lesbian’ the way Nyle said not to sign. What’s the meaning when you put the ‘L’ near your chin?
1:52 what is it what does it mean?
What does the sign for lesbian mean when it’s moved up? Maybe it’s just a regional thing, but I have friends who sign and they’ve always said that the sign for lesbian is the L but higher up.
Drew G. Apparently both are the same but the L moved up is considered vulgar since it looks similar to signs for oral sex
@@nbucwa6621 That is exactly how my ASL professor taught me to sign it!
Sigh........
K Labeck lol it's probably just changed with the times. Same way as certain things in English have become vulgur where they weren't before and some have lost all meaning. Sign language is still evolving.
@@nbucwa6621 Fair enough! I always thought it was a tad off myself all things considered.
I wonder when or if the sign for "gay" will move up to the part of one's face that is typically used for male signs... We shall see!
No se escucha lo que dicen :v arreglen el audio
the only objection I see is the sign for QUEER which is not used in the USA. We finger-spell each letter in a fluid manner. I wish they would curate among deaf LGBTQIA individuals first.
there is a history behind the sign TRANSGENDER. it was developed by the actual deaf transgender individuals in the 1990's if not in 2000's.
I REALLY want to learn sign language, I swear at some point I will. Right now I studying Japanese and improving my French and when that's done I'll tackle sign language because I think it look really nice and is super interesting especially on a linguistic viewpoint
Can we just take a second and be glad that we are being taught this by such beautiful man
CHELLA JDNFJ
Seeing Nyle on ANTM made me want to learn sign language. I would never want anyone to feel left out like he did at times in the ANTM house
the trans sign is so beautiful i cried when chella explained how it makes them feel ;;
This video is beautiful in every way. ♡
Awesome! Now how do you sign, "Honestly, either of you could hit me with a truck, and I'd probably say 'thank you.'"?
I’m happy I know these signs already of taking 2 and soon 3 years of ASL. It’s such a beautiful language with a lot of history and culture.
This is amazing!!
okay but they're both extremely good looking and like how.
I didn't learn a thing since I was constantly looking at Nyle's face. 😂 Darn, he's gorgeous!😍
What a great video! I only knew the sign for transgender, now I can go into pride month with a bigger vocabulary. ^_^ Thank you.
This has been one of my favourite videos ever on UA-cam. I was focused on nothing else but the video. I watched every single minute without distraction and that is a big deal for me. A beautiful video with beautiful people.
I'm not deaf and I'm Mexican, so it's not the same language, but I'm still here to learn
They are both so cute! Thanks so much for the video, it's really helpful for the lgbt part inside the deaf community♡♡
they look so cute together tf 😍
Slow down :(
Ps. I wonder if he knows How Fckn Gorgeous he is??? Omg! I am not deaf but I speak ASL when I have the chance! I am so glad I know more then one language...people always look at me crazy when I sign???
Lgbtq._.
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🌈✌️✨
Are there somewhat common-use signs for nonbinary and pansexual, or would you just spell them out or use something like "neutral/all+ gender/sexuality?" (As appropriate.)
The fact these two amazing beings are in one video makes my heart sing!
People in my ASL class were wondering if there’s a sign for gender neutral pronouns, seeing as “they” in ASL is plural. The teacher said the community will have to make their own sign to address this, is there a sign? Thanks in advance.
That model dude looks like Riley’s dad from Inside Out and now I have a crush on both of them wtf
I’m kinda surprised that they didn’t just fs gay. In ASL2, (taught by my Deaf professor), he said that the sign they used was outdated because it’s also the sign for penis.
These two are beautiful inside and out! So helpful to learn
nyle needs him a nikta dragon BEETCH don’t @ me
I Googled this after thinking about it and the words didn't appear in the word Bank on asl bloom. I'll have to come back to this.
Would’ve obtained more of the information presented had it been done slowly. I appreciate you taking the time to teach but please keep in mind that not all of us are nearly as fluent
