25 Basic Asl Signs Pt. 1

The sign for 'Hello' in ASL is typically done using the Letter B handshape, where the fingers are brought together and then opened up in a waving motion in front of the face.

The term 'deaf' specifically refers to individuals who have partial or complete hearing loss. 'Blind' refers to individuals who have partial or complete loss of vision. 'Mute' refers to individuals who are unable to speak, and 'dumb' is an outdated and offensive term used in the past to describe individuals with disabilities.

In American Sign Language, the handshape used to represent the concept 'Hard-of-Hearing' is the Letter H handshape, which involves forming a fist with the thumb extended outwards to resemble the letter H.

Hearing is the sense that allows us to perceive sounds through the ears. Smelling, tasting, and seeing are not related to the perception of sound.

When communicating with a deaf person, it is important to use non-verbal communication such as gestures and facial expressions. Shouting or using complex language does not help in effective communication with a deaf individual.

The question 'Do you want another cookie?' is asking for a response that indicates a negative answer, which can be non-verbally expressed by opening and closing hand twice while shaking head.

The correct way to share your name in sign language involves placing your right hand flat on your chest, signing "Name" with two taps, and then fingerspelling your name.

The correct sequence when asking for someone's name is to first sign 'Name' followed by 'You'. This is in accordance with the given correct answer and ensures clear communication in sign language.

The correct response breaks down the phrase into its components 'Nice' and 'Meet', suggesting the order in which words can be organized. Adding 'You' at the end maintains the courteous tone of the greeting.
