Hello! Recently, with all the Thanksgiving and Holiday sales starting,
Many students are asking about signs like "shopping", "store", "sell", and a few others.
I'm going to show you the differences, so you don't mix these up.
First, three signs that are similar: MONEY, BUY, and SHOPPING, or SHOP.
These three use this handshape -- the "flat O" -- on the opposite palm.
That handshape is like you're holding money, right?
and the other hand...
is your hand, and you're putting MONEY there.
MONEY
It's like you're taking your wallet and putting it in your hand: MONEY.
The second sign: BUY
BUY
Now, it's like you're taking your money, and giving it to someone else
BUY
And it tends to be signed either like that, BUY,
with a little bit of an arc, or: BUY
"To buy something" or "bought" something. Same thing.
Both use your money from your hand, given elsewhere. BUY.
The third sign here is -- if you BUY again and again and again, what are you doing?
SHOPPING!
SHOP.
SHOPPING
It's like you're going to different stores and buying there and there and there.
SHOPPING
So again, we have...
MONEY
BUY
SHOP, SHOPPING
Now, where do you shop? A STORE.
So now there are three different words. Are you ready?
The first word: SELL
SELL
It's like someone's holding up a paper banner,
a sign, and holding it -- maybe saying,
someone trying to get you to come to their store.
SELL.
SELL
It's similar to other signs, where sometimes they're not held up here;
they're lower. SELL. Same thing.
SELL, SELL
One movement outward, and that's it. SELL.
The second sign: STORE.
So now it's like the sign SELL again;
it's duplicated -- means STORE
STORE
It can also mean "shop"/"shoppe" as a noun -- like "a shop".
But as a verb, "shop" is still like SHOPPING.
STORE
"Your favorite store is what?"
STORE
The third sign: SALE, meaning the price is reduced,
you can sign a few ways.
The first one, you can fingerspell S-A-L-E.
SALE -- that's common.
SALE
A second way to sign this is "price reduced".
So again: PRICE or COST is the "X" hand shape and the flat palm.
PRICE or COST... REDUCED
The index fingers show the price going down.
PRICE REDUCED
or "price reduction"
A third way to sign this, sometimes i've seen the sign SELL,
or as "sale" -- like oh a good sale there.
Most common that i've seen is actually
fingerspelling s-a-l-e, but it's common to see these others as well.
COST-REDUCED, SALE.
Let's review your new signs!
This year, I plan to shop how? Online.
Happy shopping!
