GIVE-TO
GIVE is a directional sign. This means I-GIVE-YOU. If you change the movement
toward yourself it becomes YOU-GIVE-ME. You can also sign with both hands to GIVE-
EACH-OTHER or TRADE.
HELP/HELP-ME/etc…
Help is a directional sign. When using HELP as a general sign the
movement is straight up. For HELP-ME the movement is
toward your body. For the sign HELP-YOU simply move the sign toward the other person. You will
learn many more directional signs later.
SURETRUEREAL
The sign for SURE is also the same sign as TRUE and REALLY.
Your facial expressions will change depending on which
meaning you want to convey.
HOME
The sign for HOME began as EAT/SLEEP as home is where you eat and sleep.
Over time the sign evolved to maintaining the same handshape in
both positions.
READNot only can the fingers represent legs, but they also represent the eyes. Here, two eyes read the
page.
STUDENTThe sign for student is LEARN +
the agent marker, which represents a person. Can you see how the sign brings the information off the page and
into the head?
TEACHER
Here you see that the information is coming out of the head to be given away to others (the sign for TEACH)
and the agent marker is added to make it a person.
The question mark does not replace the “Question Maker” (eyebrows up). It is used to emphasize that a question has been
asked and that the signer expects a response.
Question Mark“HUH”When to use the Question Mark:-best informally-NOT with “wh” questions
Just as we saw that HELP is a directional sign, ASK is a directional sign as well. See how the movement changes direction depending
on who is asking whom.
ASK
FOOD
To-eat Food
Although FOOD and EAT are
interchangeable signs, often you will
see them as a noun/verb pair. We
will learn about these later. What does this mean?
Well… for a verb (EAT) you sign one big movement and for a noun (FOOD) you sign it twice with a
smaller controlled movement.
EAT
To-eat Food
Although FOOD and EAT are
interchangeable signs, often you will
see them as a noun/verb pair. We
will learn about these later. What does this mean?
Well… for a verb (EAT) you sign one big movement and for a noun (FOOD) you sign it twice with a
smaller controlled movement.
RESTAURANT
CAFETERIA is signed the same way but with a “C” handshape. NAPKIN is
singed with a “flat O” handshape.
Days of the week can be signed
toward or away from the body
depending on the signs preceding
or following.
Mostly, the palm
orientation is in.
This is the sign your book teaches for
SUNDAY.
Another very popular way to sign SUNDAY is with the hands moving
up and down facing forward.
COMPETEPLAY-SPORTS
This sign is also used to mean COMPETE or COMPITION and
you will also see it to mean RUN-TRACK and RACE.
WEEK
The sign for week moves across the hand from left to right, just as the days of the week move across
a calendar.
