Hello, welcome back. Today, I'm showing ASL signs -- well, two signs that are similar. What are they?
BUSY and BUSINESS. Oh, and maybe a third: MOVIE. Did YOU notice the difference?
BUSY
The "B" handshape on a relaxed other hand here, fist or relaxed. BUSY
You can add facial expression to show: Wow, really busy. Really busy, or maybe "Sorry, I can't, I'm busy."
BUSY
"Busy", for example, have plans, a lot of work, a lot going on... That. BUSY.
"Business", like a company... BUSINESS.
BUSINESS
Again, the "B" handshape on the other arm, BUSINESS
BUSINESS
Another way: BUSINESS. BUSINESS
Again, the "B" handshape. The movement's a little different. BUSINESS or BUSINESS
The sign means the same thing. "Business"
BUSINESS
Or, one little tip: If you want to sign "not your business", or "none of your business"
"N-Y-B" -- the sign "None of your business." or not your business.
NYB
not your business
Again: BUSY versus BUSINESS. Both use similar handshape and location the movement is a little different.
Plus, busy can use facial expression to show busy versus business.
BUSY
BUSINESS
Another sign that's similar is MOVIE.
The differences: The non-dominant hand is palm inward
Your dominant hand isn't in a "B"; it's more like a relaxed "5". MOVIE.
MOVIE
MOVIE or FILM. Think of like, in the past, those films would use
a projection with light up on a *screen*
MOVIE. It's like your hand is the screen. MOVIE.
Oh, and one last sign I want to add is true-biz. TRUE-BIZ
It's an ASL sign. There's not really one exact English word. It's like "for real" or
"seriously", "sure enough". That, in the asl sign true-biz. True-biz. For more related to that sign true-biz,
I'll add some links in the description, so that you can learn more about that sign. TRUE-BIZ.
Again, we have BUSINESS
"Not your business"
BUSY
MOVIE
Okay? I hope that that helped clarify those signs! If you want more videos with similar signs
