Hi…can you please show me the sign for “alright”? It sounds very similar to “stop”.
Thank you!
ADMIN – Hi Sara,
The sign for alright is like a knife cutting on a cutting board. Dominant hand is the knife with fingers all together pointing toward the listener and non-dominant hand is the board with palm facing upwards.
That is a good question, and the honest truth (as far as the ASL community is concerned) is that avocado is fingerspelled, using the ASL manual alphabet. I do, however, understand that avocado can be a lengthy word to spell for a beginner signer, so perhaps you could make a home sign and fingerspell the sign before introducing the home sign, as this is how classifiers (or early childhood education signs) are introduced.
