As someone who unfortunately doesn't understand sign language, I really wish there were "subtitles" to explain. Contextually (from the comments) I understand that most "hearies" say "you're welcome" incorrectly but I wish I knew more of what David was saying.
Hello Stuff, in my video I am trying to explain the 2 different semantics in ASL using the English word....welcome. Invite and welcome like you said cupped hand front of you move to ur tummy or waist. But here i am talking about the proper response when people say thank you. you reply with thumbs up, "F" handshape or simply nod ur head to acknowledge. Does this help?
@dndmartin this helps very much, thank you. i have to go tell my friend now! she wants to teach asl to kids when she grows up and can't very well do it with what she currently thinks is "you're welcome"
i picked out 2 books from the library, one says "you're welcome" is to hold your right hand out in front of you with a cupped hand, and bring it down to your hip. the other says this is the sign for "invite" and my friend told me that "you're welcome" is sliding a "4" up your chest (palm facing chest) and sliding it off of your chin. can anyone tell me what the most common form is (i'm very amateur with sign language but i'm trying to learn)
I agree with you. (I am hearing, fluent in ASL, taught by an old Deaf man and the rest of the Deaf community here.) Sometimes, too, I sign 'thank you' back: Thank you; Thank you. Or, Thank you; 'Sure', with a smile.
Here in Florida, we sign "you're welcome" by making a "w" and sliding it horizontally sideways around the mouth. I'm pretty sure it is a SEE sign that has been used here in the ASL we have here in FL.
People, i am trying hard to learn sign, i am not hearing impared, but feel that learning would be great for communication with those others would pass off or take the piss out of, however. When people sometimes sign, they mouth what i just canot percieve as words. Are they words? or are they other types of sign? Please forgive my ignorance. My heart is in the right place, just very strange for me to understand
Often I see hearing parents telling their deaf kids they need to sign "welcome" because that is "good manners" in hearing culture. So many hearing parents don't understand the difference between cultures and languages. Maybe that is why it is more popular now? I always teach my deaf students to nod or say "thank you" back.
Nice. I had always wondered this because Deaf I know would sign welcome, like "Welcome" to my home" I thought instead of "your welcome" replying back with "good" but doesn't make much sense, but didn't want to use "welcome" so this is great!
@berinproductions That's an accent down South too; except that the "thank you sign" when meaning "your welcome" is an exaggerated double or tripple arc; wheras, thank you remains the same; one arc.
I don't speak signs but I don't understand why this video is rated 3 stars... youtube is such a great tool for the deaf and I never even thought about it before... 5 stars
can i ask how the wrong welcome came in? i mean i understand a nod head and stuff, but who would have signed it with a w to chest? im sorry but it LOOKS RUDE gosh i hope it dissapeares i like nod head and ok no problem but
everyone shut up i can't hear him

I've wondered what the proper response to THANK YOU is. Usually I just sign THANK YOU back. Thanks for the video!

Hmm, I've never seen that sign for Welcome, your pet peeve one. Though I guess that's a good thing, haha.

You do have a good point, it's not exactly conceptually accurate to reply to "thank you" with saying "welcome".
I once saw an accent where the sign "thank you" was repeated twice, but I've only seen a few rare times. I'm starting to think it's a local Utah sign.
But I'm guilty, I sign "welcome" without the initialized W when someone thanks me.
For the time being, "welcome" is probably the most well known response. But I agree that a thumbs up or "perfect" may be more appropriate.
