This is "right and wrong" in ASL. This video is taught in sign
language; turn on captions.
CORRECT. So it's the "1" handshape, one on top of
the other, and then they tap like that.
RIGHT. RIGHT.
"You're right!" "You're correct."
"You're correct."
WRONG. A "Y" handshape at the chin.
"You're wrong." or "I was wrong, sorry."
"I was wrong."
WRONG.
RIGHT! This is "right" again, meaning "correct".
"You are correct."
RIGHT meaning legal "rights"
RIGHT.
RIGHT: The flat palm brushes against the other
one: RIGHT or RIGHTS.
RIGHTS.
RIGHT, the direction.
RIGHT. The "R" handshape moves
toward the right. Right. Right.
INCORRECT. WRONG.
So again, this is wrong or incorrect. WRONG.
MISTAKE. So it's the "Y"
handshape again, with the palm facing inward: MISTAKES or ERRORS.
Many, you can use both hands that means again and again you mean many different errors.
One mistake over and over, and that tongue sticking out also shows that something
was wrong or careless. ERRORS. ERRORS.
"What's wrong?"
So the "Y" handshape again palm in at the chin: "What's wrong?"
or "What's the matter?" Eyebrows are down -- that shows that it's a question!
"What's the matter?"
Or maybe get someone's attention, "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong?" "What's wrong" "What's the matter?"
This can have a few translations... We use the "Y" handshape again, palm in at the
chin, but it kind of rolls over the chin, meaning "something went wrong."
"Something went wrong," or "oops!"
For example: "Last night my family went out to the theater.
We were so excited, we got dressed fancy, drove, arrived, BUT! The tickets, we forgot!
So we went back home, had to look for them, found them, pocketed them, and drove
back to the theater, and arrived just in time!"
A different example, maybe the beach...
"We planned to go to the beach, BUT! it rained, so instead we went to the movies.
Let's review.
CORRECT.
RIGHT.
INCORRECT.
ERRORS.
"What's wrong?"
"BUT... something went wrong."
