Hi Friends!
Today, we'll review 4 signs that are used often.
The signs are: LIKE, WANT, HAVE, and NEED.
Are you ready?
Oh!
And first, if you like learning ASL, I have many videos.
I suggest that you subscribe, so you don't miss new ones!
Okay?
Let's continue.
"Like" is signed LIKE.
It includes the "8" handshape.
You know the number 8?
It's like that, but the fingers come apart.
Start in this position, and end in this one.
LIKE.
Again, here's the movement.
LIKE.
Number 2, WANT is signed: WANT.
Start like this, and end a little closer.
WANT.
The sign WANT, you'll also see it like this, and also like this: Again, WANT.
It's similar, but the orientation is a little different.
WANT.
WANT or WANT.
HAVE.
This is the handshape, and it comes in, and touches.
HAVE.
NEED.
So the"X" handshape.
NEED.
So we have the sign NEED, NEED, "I need food".
"I need".
Second: "MUST".
MUST.
So that's one movement: MUST.
"I must.... do something".
MUST.
So we have MUST and NEED.
NEED.
So again, that's: LIKE, WANT, HAVE, and NEED.
LIKE, WANT, HAVE, NEED.
Examples: "I like chocolate."
"I want dessert."
Now, you know LIKE, WANT, HAVE, and NEED.
How do you sign the opposites?
I'll show you.
LIKE becomes "DISLIKE".
So it's that "8" handshape again, except it starts as an 8 and then opens, so it's the
opposite movement: DISLIKE.
And you shake your head "no" -- DISLIKE.
"Don't like".
Example: COFFEE, I DON'T-LIKE.
DISLIKE.
WANT becomes DON'T-WANT.
So the movement reverses -- we're turning it over.
Don't want.
Example: "I don't want to leave."
"I don't want to leave."
Don't want.
Again, you should shake your head.
HAVE becomes -- simply by shaking your head no, that's it -- DON'T-HAVE. or "NOT HAVE".
Don't have.
For example, "I don't have a dog".
Don't have.
NEED, the sign becomes "don't need", "I don't need it."
So you can either sign NEED while shaking your head no again -- "don't need it", or
you can incorporate the sign NOT -- and that's "NOT" -- it becomes "not need"/ "don't need".
"I don't need..."
It can also mean "shouldn't" or "should not".
SHOULDN'T. And notice that the handshapes combine -- SHOULDN'T, or "don't need".
Don't need.
Example: "I shouldn't sleep right now."
Okay!
Now again, all together: LIKE, DISLIKE, WANT, DON'T-WANT, HAVE, DON'T-HAVE, NEED, DON'T-NEED,
or DON'T-NEED.
Okay!
That's it for today.
