#ASL #ASLLOVE #HowtoSign
Learn how to ask the question "What's your name?" using American Sign Language. This question is a good example of how American Sign Language (ASL) is not expressed using word for word English order. ASL has its own grammar and syntax rules. "What's your name?" becomes "Your - name - what?" in ASL . The addition of facial expression is always necessary to convey meaning.

I just started working in fast food and when a deaf person came in today, I had difficulties taking her order. This will greatly improve my abilities. Thank you very much.

Hi there! i was wondering, i noticed some people have specific motions for their names (i haven't learned the language yet, just beginning and trying to figure out my name) and so i was wondering if after spelling out your name when introducing yourself, if you use a special motion that they then use when referring to you? maybe that's a one time thing, but i was just curious...

@ASLLOVE 2 жыл бұрын

Hi! What you are referring to is called a name sign. It is a specific sign that should be given to you by a Deaf individual. Good eye for noticing that as a beginner. Here is a link to a more detailed explanation about name signs: www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-layout/namesigns.htm Keep practicing and learning! 👍

@@lilmisspriss2367 that is a great question! It’s very common for someone to show you their name sign (if they have one) after they spell their name. If you wanted to ask you could sign “your-name-sign-what?”

This might be a dumb question. Does it matter what hand you use? Like when you sign , "your" and you put your flat palm out, does it matter if it's left or a right hand? Also for Name? Does it matter if your right hand fingers are tapping on the left hand fingers , or vice versa?

@ASLLOVE 2 жыл бұрын

That is a great question. You should use your dominant hand to lead. My dominant is my right hand so the sign “your” is signed with my right. Also the “tapping fingers” would be done with my right hand.

If you were to use someone's name in conversation, would you still spell it out or is it perhaps common to have a shorthand sign for a person, especially if you refer to them often and they have a long name?

@ASLLOVE Жыл бұрын

That is a great question. Sometimes people have name signs. These are signs that represent a specific person instead of spelling their name. It is recommended that a name sign be given by a member of the Deaf community.

Great watch. I came to this by watching the TV series, "Switched at Birth." I felt challenged and decided to try and learn ASL in its different varieties. Your teaching is excellent and is helping me get started and learning the basics. You said reach out to you if I had a request. I'm a musician (guitarist, pianist, bassist, and, vocalist by trade) and I would like to learn some of the basics here. Also, how would you sign a specific band such as; KISS, Metallica, ABBA, Celine Dion, The Carpenters, Rammstein, Rob Zombie, and, Connie Francis (to name a few)? Could you help with this? Thank you sincerely. -Michael

@ASLLOVE Жыл бұрын

Hello Michael! Thank you for checking out my page. While I am sure that some regional signs exist for various band names (I remember being shown one for Metallica which included the sign for "metal"), the truth is, most names are fingerspelled using the alphabet (unless a name sign is given by someone in the Deaf Community). For now, I would recommend that you spell the name. If you are taught a particular name sign, hang on to it but know that regional signs are specific to that area and may not be recognized in other towns/cities.

I saw a video once where they signed (what) (your) (name) instead of how it’s signed here which is the order (your) (name) (what) Is one correct? Or can they both be used?

@ASLLOVE Жыл бұрын

The tricky part of learning ASL is all of the varying options you will notice along the way. I was taught "your - name - what" but I have also seen both variations. I try to refrain from saying one way is wrong if it is someone's preference. Check out this link where both options are presented. www.signasl.org/sign/what-is-your-name You may also see this question signed "name - you?" In short, use what you feel comfortable with and notice what the Deaf Community is using in your area. I would gravitate to the version used by the majority.

Can you do the what part first?

@ASLLOVE 7 ай бұрын

You can if you are following English word order or Signing Exact English (SEE). American Sign Language (ASL) has different grammar rules. The syntax does not follow the English order that we are used to.
