Hey signers, welcome back to Learn How to Sign. Today we are jumping into part two
of our four part series on numbers...one, two, three. What kind of numbers are we
talking about here? In this video we will be learning about how to sign
time. Well it looks like it's time to learn how to sign time in ASL.
Before we get started in learning vocabulary about time, let's learn how to sign about time
itself. When you're signing time, it's going to come off of your wrist associated with your watch.
If you're going to show time with the hour and the minutes then you just put it together like this
1-30, 5-45, 7-15, 10-30. You also have what we call the clock hand. This can be associated with
seconds, minutes, and hours and going around you can show one hour, two hours, three hours, four hours, five
hours, six hours, seven hours, eight hours, and nine hours and then 10 and above you do the number along with the sign
hours. This can also be associated with seconds one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and nine.
Along ten seconds, eleven seconds, or minutes which would be one minute, two minute, three minute,
four minute, five minute, six minute, seven minute, eight minute, nine minute and then 10 minutes,
fifteen minutes, and so on. You can find more about these rules in a part of this series where we
incorporate numbers into signs. Now let's jump into signs about time. 'Number or numbers,' you have flat
'O' hands that are twisting 'number or numbers.' 'Time, time', you're just pointing to your watch
'time.' 'Second, second', this is like the second hand on the clock whenever it's moving 'second.'
'Minutes or minute' this is like the clock and this is the minute hand 'minute or minutes.' 'Hour,
hour', your finger is going around the whole clock as in the minute goes around in an hour 'hour.' 'Day,
day', you're doing the letter 'D' hand showing the sun going through the day 'day.'
'Week, week', it's like your calendar is in your hand and it's drawing a line across the whole week
'week.' 'Month, month', looking at a calendar you're going down looking at the whole month 'month.'
'Year, year', imagine this is the sun and this is the earth going around in one year 'year.'
'Morning, morning', because the sun is coming up in the morning 'morning.' 'Weekend, weekend',
you're doing the sign week and cutting it off at the end for the weekend 'weekend.'
'Noon, noon', the sun is directly above you at noon 'noon.' 'Afternoon, afternoon', think of where the sun
is in the afternoon 'afternoon.' 'Night, night', think of where the sun is at night 'night.' 'Midnight, midnight',
this is your horizon and you're doing the number 12 down where the sun is at midnight 'midnight.'
'Never, never,' now when you're doing this make sure that your head shakes back and forth
'never.' 'Sometimes, sometimes', your non-dominant hand is flat and on its side and your index finger of
your dominant hand is sweeping up 'sometimes.' 'Every once in a while, every once in a while',
your index finger is flipping on your non-dominant hand and wiggling out 'every once in a while.' 'Always,
always', your hand is making a big circle in the air 'always.' Now let's put these signs into sentences. Do
we want to meet at the restaurant at six o'clock on Friday? 'Friday six o'clock meet restaurant you?'
I enjoy resting on the weekends 'Weekend me enjoy rest me.'
I work out sometimes. 'Me work out sometimes me.'
ASL class is Monday morning at nine o'clock. 'Monday morning nine o'clock ASL class.'
