Description
of Sign Action
|
|
|
good
|
Make the "thank
you" sign, but let the back of the right hand fall to rest in the palm
of the extended left hand. (The only difference between "thank you" and
"good" is that the sign for "good" ends in the palm of the left hand,
while the "thank you" sign finishes in mid-air.) |
good bye
|
Wave
"good-bye"! |
hello
|
Place hand on
forward as if to salute (but not as rigid). Move hand outward, ending
up with palm facing forward in the air just a few inches from the
forehead. |
no
|
Using the right
hand, close the thumb and first two fingers together once.
|
please
|
Use right
hand, flat,
fingers together. Rub in a circular motion mid-chest. |
see
|
Using a right "v"
hand, hold fingertips of the "v" directly in
front of eyes. Then
move
the right hand outward as if extending vision. |
sorry
|
Move "s"
hand
in a
circular motion mid-chest. |
thank you
|
With open
hand, touch lips, and then extend hand outward, keeping palm facing the
face (as if throwing a thank-you kiss). |
yes
|
Using right "s"
hand, move the wrist to make the "s" fist go down, up, then down again,
as if it
is someone's head shaking a "yes" acknowledgement. |
you
|
Point in the
direction of where someone is located. If no one is there, point to an
"imaginary" person. |
| you're welcome |
Touch
forehead with the index finger of the "w" hand, then touch chest with
the wrist of that same "w" hand. The motion will be somewhat
semi-circular, as if you
are inviting or welcoming someone to be close to you. |
