Today's video is actually the last in a three-part series about signing numbers
in American Sign Language. So if you happen to miss the first two videos
where I go over 1-20 and also 21-100, I really encourage you to go
back and watch those first, because we're going to use what we learned in those
two videos to be able to sign any number in ASL. Let's learn the basics!
If you've watched the previous two videos and you're ready to learn how to sign larger
numbers, let's get on to it. The last number that we learned in the previous
video was 100, and I signed it two ways. 100 with a C, and 100 with bending your
finger. So today I'm going to use the bent finger for the hundreds, and the
hundred are actually really easy because you just combined 100 with the
number that you want to sign afterwards. So how do you think you would sign 105?
105. What about 115? 115. Can you think of how to sign 125? 125. And let's throw a
double in there. How about 144? 144. And this pattern actually continues when you
go up into the higher hundreds. So for example, if you wanted to sign, 222, you
would do 222. If you wanted to sign 357, you would do 357.
What about 999? Well, 999. If we wanted to count into the
thousands we just keep building upon the numbers that we already know. So for the
sign 1000, you would just sign 1,000 2,000 3,000 and you just keep going up.
So how about we practice the number 1,333.
1,333. Let's try 5,545. 5,545. It's actually pretty simple once you get into
the rhythm of things, and if you wanted to sign 10,000 or 100,000, you would just
do 10,000 ... 100,000 or what about the millions and billions?
The way I picture is that for 1,000 you have the comma and then you have the three zeroes.
So that comma is when your hands meet. So for million you actually have two
commas, so for the sign 1 million, you would do two taps with your hand. And
for billion, it would have three commas. So you would do 1 billion with 3 taps on
your hand. And if you're signing a number that's bigger than the billions,
then you'll typically see this sign ... which is just kind of this
unsurmountable unimaginable number. Remember I said any number, so let's go
ahead and try one real big one together. That number is going to be 5,045,122.
So it would be 1,045,122.
Let me know in the comments down below if you were able to sign it on your own. There you have it putting
everything we've learned together so far now you're able to sign any number you
want in American Sign Language! If you're interested in learning more
about numbers and sign language like how to sign negatives or fractions or
decimals or any other kinds of math signs like, adding and subtracting
dividing and multiplying, please let me know in the comment section below and I
can cover that in a future video. In some of my previous videos I've covered
things such as the alphabet the colors animals I'll have links for those videos
in the card above and also on the link in the description below and I'm sure
you know that the best way to learn a language is to actually use it, so please
share this video with somebody that you know, so you can practice
signing these numbers together. I hope you enjoyed watching and learning
through this series with me and if you found this video helpful, please like and
subscribe and until next time, I'll see you later!
