Hello! Recently, I've gotten many questions about different signs that are
similar -- related to either being near the chin or the cheek, and using different
hand shapes like these and then "X" -- many with the X. So I'll show you
and you won't confuse them anymore! Are you ready?
But first: Did you know that I have a special email group
where I send out different information related to
learning ASL study, practice, includes signs, grammar, practice sentences, tips
for learning, different things! So if you like my teaching style, what should you
do? Sign up! At ASLMeredith.com
LIE
LIE: the hand brushes against the chin in a straight line.
or LIES
"You're lying." "Ooh, sorry, I lied." or "He's lying."
PIG
The fingers bend,
and the hand stays still: PIG.
DIRTY
The fingers wiggle.
DIRTY
FROG
The fingers flick out.
FROG
it's like the legs of a frog jumping.
FROG.
One version of CEREAL.
CEREAL The "1" bends into an "X" as you move the
hand across the chin: CEREAL
DRY
The "1" into an "X" moves toward the same side as the arm.
DRY
METAL
The "X" handshape
moves outward from the chin: METAL.
SNEAKERS
Running shoes -- you can sign RUNNING SHOES
Or SHOES that are SNEAKERS -- the "X" handshape brushes downward,
sort of at the cheek area.
SNEAKERS
SHOES SNEAKERS, SNEAKERS
I've seen it closer to the mouth or at the chin.
SEX
The "X" handshape *taps* against the cheek, once up and once down.
It touches and then it releases, and then touches again.
RUBBER
RUBBER, sort of drags against the cheek, again palm out in an "X" handshape.
The material RUBBER
SHAVE
So now the "X" handshape, the palm is facing *backward*, still the "X" -- SHAVE.
The hand doesn't actually have to touch the face; it can. Or, use a "Y" -- SHAVE.
SHAVE.
And you can move that sign, depending on where -- your face you would shave or shave.
Maybe the leg: SHAVE. L-E-G, LEG, and then show shaving. Or armpits -- it depends where.
Or in general: SHAVE
