      @4:00 You're saying "take the class". I saw how your hands dropped after you signed "take". Is this another way to say "taking a class" or does it mean something else?
      Sorry for all the questions. I'm back to studying daily. I understand if you don't have time to answer.
      Thank you for the videos

      I'm not signing "take the class" -- I'm signing "take the test" (TAKE TEST).
      See this page and read through the various examples:

    I love that he is emphasizing facial expressions, those are very important when you learn to have actual conversations, they are like inflection in spoken word.

    wait, is the sign at 8:24 real? the C and the L at the end or was that a joke?

    • @sign-language
      @sign-language  2 роки тому +4

      "COOL" using the eyeballs as "O"s is a fun, well-recognized joke in the Deaf community. Think of it as ASL pun.

    A Deaf acquaintance once suggested I refrain from using the a-hand against forehead version of "stupid" and instead use the v-hand. Does anyone know why?

    • @annstropes2236
      @annstropes2236 2 роки тому +3

      I learned that the “a” hand means dumb. The “k” hand shape meant stupid. I’m by no means an expert, so if someone can correct me please do.

      Ferocula,
      You just stated that Ann Stropes was right. I hope you are not including the second part of her statement as being right -- because the sign commonly labeled as "stupid" doesn't use a "K" handshape it uses a "V" handshape.

    • @ferocula
      @ferocula Рік тому

      @@sign-language Thats right, Doctor. The handshape for stupid is V. I was quick to respond and didn't think it through all the way. I've been signing all my life and I sometimes us a K shape interchangeably with a V shape and nobody seems to notice. But, yes you are right. Thanks again for your fantastic videos and education.

    • @sign-language
      @sign-language  Рік тому +2

      Good point Ferocula about the K and V sometimes being interchangeable.
      For readers of this comment, an example of when we sometimes see either "K" or "V" is for concepts involving "seeing." (Particularly the phrase "We'll see!")

    Hi, what is the sign at around 6:35? It's something like "I'm not ..." we just agree to disagree. What is it? Your hand is on your forehead

    • @sign-language
      @sign-language  3 місяці тому +1

      That sign is "stubborn."
      It is actually a metaphorical use of an inflected version of the sign for "donkey."
      See: ua-cam.com/video/n6_vhSmtSJw/v-deo.html
      Remember, "labels" for ASL signs are not the same as English words. They are not direct equivalents. I once saw a friend sign "T-O-Y-O-T-A ENGINE STUBBORN" and what he meant by it was that "Toyota engines don't quit, they are very reliable."
      The actual meaning of the sign "stubborn" depends greatly on context and the signer's apparent intent. If he/she has been talking positively about the reasons why he/she bought a Toyota vehicle and then signs that the engine is "stubborn" -- the context would indicate that he/she is using the "stubborn" sign to mean "dependable" or "reliable."
      However if he/she were instead complaining about why he/she was late to work that morning and signed that his engine was "stubborn" it would likely mean that the engine would not start easily.

      Thank you soooo much! I understand perfectly now. I'm actually starstruck to be honest because I've been "your student" for exactly a year now and I'm so grateful you took the time to respond to me. Your effort isn't wasted here! I used your classes to start in ASL 2 then did 3 and Deaf culture and just got accepted to transfer to an interpreting program at NTID! I appreciate you and am so grateful to you Dr. Bill! You're making a difference in the world ❤️

      Andriana,
      NTID is an excellent school and you will likely have a lot of opportunities to interact with local Deaf.
      Rochester has one of the highest per capita of Deaf. (Possibly even the highest in the U.S.)
