I'm wondering why you need to ask someone to be nice to you. Are deaf people picking on you?Hello all, I am a new ASL student and I have been studying diligently for months now. I am still having some trouble with ASL sentence structure and I am having trouble avoiding some Signed English words.
How would you say/gloss "Be nice to me". I know the signs for nice and please but would I use the sign "do" for these phrases? Should "Be nice to me" be "YOU BEHAVE NICE ME"? Should I use the sign for "to"?
What about or "please do it"? Would it be "PLEASE DO point" ?
Thank you for your help!
I am trying to learn sign language so that one day I can volunteer in the community and make friends in the Deaf community. Thanks

Have you asked your instructor about this?
I would never ask anyone to "please do it." There's no telling what could happen!

SO I have a question: one of the chimpanzees I work with is named Loulis, his name sign is an "L" held on the nose once by the thumb of the "L". Supposedly there is another sign with the same handshape in the same area, but with a tapping or the forefinger bouncing a bit. Any idea what sign that could be? The rumor is that it is an inappropriate sign. Any idea?
what u described of "L" letter tapping on nose as lousy...but its tapping "L" on nose & then swings off nose and there the sign of lousy.
Thanks!
Go out to your community. If sign not recognized you will asked to fingerspell it, and someone will show you correctly.This is more of a dialect question then a how to question, but I hope it's ok to put it in this thread. I'm just starting out learning ASL, and I've seen three different or slightly different signs for How and Why. I'm assuming that the differences are a dialect thing. My question is, how do I find out which one is correct for my local dialect, and how big of an issue would it be to learn a sign in one dialect and find out it's signed differently locally? I'm working on finding a local meeting or college group or something to practice with, but I'd like to at least know some basics before I show up completely clueless. But at the same time, it won't do me any good to learn signs in a dialect that the local community wouldn't recognize.
