ASL-FEELINGS-4 Flashcards
(48 cards)
ANGRY
VERY IMPORTANT: Use an angry facial expression.
Memory hint: “As if being so mad you could rip your guts out.”
DAUGHTER
This sign is a combination of GIRL and BABY. Form your right hand into a “flat hand (looks like a “B-hand” or a Karate-chop hand). Touch the fingertips of your B-hand to the right side of your chin, then move the hand down to the crook of your left forearm
HELP
The sign for HELP is directional. If you start it near yourself and move it toward someone else in and up, forward, then down arch it means “I will help you” or “I helped you” or (if you do it with raised eyebrows) “Do you want me to help you?”
IF/SUPPOSE
IF = SUPPOSE:
This version of “if” can mean “suppose” or “what if?” Tap the pinkie on your upper cheek twice. Do not brush it. Do not bend it. Just move it to your face, out, and back to your face again.
ROOM (box)
SAD
SON
It sort of looks like you are saluting from your forehead to the crook of your left elbow. The left arm sometimes just hangs down during the sign SON or at least is more relaxed than in the sign for baby. Note: It is okay if the left arm is relaxed–just sort of hanging there
SORRY
or regret
STOP
The sign for “stop” is made by extending your left hand, palm upward. Sharply bring your open right hand down to your left palm at a right angle.
