MORE
MORE is typically signed with a repeated motion, but it may be shown with a singular motion...
especially within a phrase or sentence. You'll see the upcoming "more than" would tend to use a single movement.
THAN
THAN. The hand kind of brushes against the opposite hand's fingers.
THAN
"more than"
LESS
"Less than"
Better, is to show the comparison. For example: "less than before", you can change it up...
Before, was cha--big. Now, it's reduced to a smaller amount.
Or: Before a huge long list , now just a few.
Or maybe: Before, 100. Now, 25.
So you can compare to express that concept of "less".
EQUALS
EQUAL
The flat fingers come together: EQUAL
"And up"
The dominant hand moves up from the opposite hand.
It's like there's a line with your non-dominant hand,
and you're indicating everything is higher than that line. "And above"
"and below"
Below, or less than some line.
So again, we have a line and everything below it. "Less than" or "lower than"
"And above", "and below"
"More than normal"
NORMAL
"More than normal"
Again, better: We can describe that it tends to be different.
Maybe: Tends to be expensive. Now it's cheap!
Or maybe: "This class tends to have students 20. Today, 10. That's weird!"
