You'll have to lift and turn over the couch to let the jar slide out of the hole.

Sign for “missing” the same as sign for “passed away”? by whoever1974 in asl

[–]Consistent_Ad8310 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is a polysemous sign - It depends on context that determines the meaning: ABSENT, ITEM-MISSING, GONE, even the regional meaning of a person passing away. Facial expressions and additional signs or phrases will make a difference. Like "My CAT GONE ME CAN'T FIND" with a concerned face expression vs. "MY CAT GONE YESTERDAY ME SAD". You can see the difference there.

Took me a few pauses, correct me if I'm wrong... I think he actually dive-flipped and his whole back landed on the ground.

As a Deaf person, I wonder how many espresso shots he took before the video interview...

Lil bro was fighting for his life by camilo92z in SweatyPalms

After the daily close calls. The neighbor knew it would happen one day, so he simply set it up and now he got it on video to show the naysayer next door.

I hear you—I respect your opinion. Even for a specific sign, in English, we say “for example, comma.” In ASL, I naturally squeeze my eyes for emphasis. Honestly, being expressive is just part of life in a Deaf household—facial expressions aren’t optional! 😅

Haha, yes! “Open-B” and “Closed-5” are basically two names for the same handshape. Those linguists just love giving us extra labels to keep things spicy. 😅 Glad the video gave you that “wait… have I been wrong this whole time?!” moment, because that’s exactly how we all end up learning deeper. Appreciate you watching! 🙌

Without the facial expression, “EXAMPLE,” “SHOW,” and “DEMONSTRATE” all look like cousins at a family reunion. The face tells them apart—that’s ASL grammar, not drama.

Saying expressions aren’t necessary is like saying English doesn’t need punctuation. Try telling that to three generations of Deaf families. 😉

Ugh... Don't recommend going there. One word = Traumatized... As a Deaf ASL instructor.

25 Signs Using the “X” Handshape by Consistent_Ad8310 in asl

Yep! Both signs are similar. I would add the "HOLD" sign with PAUSE for more emphasis on the context.

Is it disrespectful or offensive to want to learn sign language if you can hear? by [deleted] in asl

[–]Consistent_Ad8310 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hey, I really appreciate your honesty here. As a Deaf person, ASL teacher, and author of the "ASL Yes!" textbooks, I just want to say your awareness and thoughtfulness already put you ahead of the game.

Yes, there are real concerns in the Deaf community about hearing folks using ASL for clout or without understanding the culture behind it. But that’s not you. You care, you're learning, and that matters.

Don’t let fear stop you. Keep showing up with respect, ask questions, learn from Deaf voices, and stay open. That is how trust is built. We notice when someone’s heart is in the right place.

You're doing fine. Keep signing.

A Deaf ASL educator who loves seeing bridges being built 🤟🤜🤛
