Im currently taking ASL class in High School, and over the past year, I made a deep respect for people like her. Unfortunately, I’ve never met a deaf or mute person, but hoping over the summer I’m more ‘fluent’ or expressive. Also I barely know anything about this show, besides the fact there is a crap tone of different relationships. Not arguing, just here for the signs lol.

I started watching the show like two hours ago, and she's definitely one of the reasons I refuse, and will refuse to drop it. I absolutely love Amaya, the way she's a genuinelly interesting character. I also really adore her relationship with Gren. They trust each other, him being her voice is such a sweet and important detail, they share one braincell. (in the best way possible) Edit: i feel extremely ashamed because only now did i found out Amaya is deaf and not mute😭😭 long live this amazing woman, i love her no matter what

why is it when gren isn't interpreting for amaya, we still get no subtitles for amaya's signs? i don't want to have to look up what she says. also, why don't characters sign to her in seasons 4 and 5, and just talk with their voices, as if she can read lips?

to me it seems that grens translations into english are accurate in terms of english grammar. it would be more difficult to understand amaya otherwise for those of us who aren’t fluent in signing / don’t know ASL.

Maybe one other reason is because they ruined Amaya's character and I ended up hating her less than halfway through the season.

Is some of the brokenness of the sentence structure due to how asl works or to speed up the signing for scenes?
@jayreiacira Жыл бұрын
LOL! Be careful how you use the word "broken" when it comes to languages. I remember one of my fellow students saying he got a LOT of flak for a comment like that when he first started and for a while some Deaf people wouldn't even talk to him because they thought he was looking down on them. What you see in the show is definitely your basic sentence structure for ASL, though. When it comes to interpreting, you'd better be fast and be able to get your point across or else you'll get left far behind.

@jayreiacira Жыл бұрын
@@sage5948 The same way you'd describe Latin. There's no word for "the" in it and the structure is drastically different from English but that doesn't make it broken. Pesonally I'd just say ASL has its own grammar, but hey! You're not alone mistaking that. I think it was back in the 60s or 70s that a linguist really started to take a good look at ASL for the first time and after years of research came to the definite conclusion that it's not "broken or fractured English" but instead its own language with particular rules English doesn't (and in some ways cannot) have.

I learned 2 kinds of sign language - English and American - the American one had very loose sentences and often set up a scene to refer to spatially to tell a story - Her "short hand" type sentences seem to fall into that system accurately. I'm so pleased to see the huge effort they put into her character when they could have just done vague gestures. :)

Thank you for the direct translations. The jump to the proper English grammar that avoids the word for word translation always feels like a wall that English speakers build against other languages and cultures. It is really interesting watching the signs, catching the meaning, and spotting a quick glimpse of the rephrasing below, as the video jumps to the next scene. I secretly wish that everything dubbed from another language had this option. This was a really enjoyable video.

Another thing that was cool is that they sometimes finger spelled, and i knew what the words they were finger spelling were, like when callum finger spelled Rayla i knew what he said :D

I know a little about BSL from learning makaton for work (not an expert, I'm just passionate about it) and from the looks of it, ASL follows the same sentence structure as BSL. You start with the subject of the sentence and then add. So instead of saying, "I'm going to work," you say, "Work I go." That explains some of the strangely phrased interpretations Gren gives, he's waiting for the rest of the signs to make sense of her sentence
