Okay, the sign at 0.21-0.22, I see this used often, and vaguely understand what it means but don't know the direct translation, what's the exact meaning of it?

[silenthearinmusician]

@Catwalksymphony : The sign is EXPERIENCE. the line said. "you were strong and I was not" it does not mean physically strong in a relationship but the experience he had and that she was naive so i used experience for that line. Hope this helps!

@silenthearinmusician Ahh! Thanks for the explanation, it helps alot. I'm sorry people are complaining about your sign choices, I think it was somewhere in between PSE and ASL, not SE like people have said. The grammar was very ASL, and it's obvious you can do beautiful conceptual translations (your translation for Halo is one of my absolute favorites). I wanted to say that I appreciate that you take the time to use a wide range of SL in your translations, to reach a broader audience.

@Catwalksymphony Than k you for watching my videos and taking the time out to comment on them. As for the negative comments i take them as constructive critisism because we can only improve. I try to use ASL and some english metaphors because i get a lot of mixed opinions with Deaf people say they are not stupid and they understand english metaphors so use it and others who say its not ASL therefore should not be used etc. But im glad ppl enjoy and learn from it! thank you again!

Why are u signing english? Dude I'm deaf an i couldnt get alot of ur concepts if I no read your lips! like when u sign write on the sky ,what did u mean?Interpret wqit ur deaf audience in mind, but really great effort!!!!

[silenthearinmusician]

@quillatequilla:Thank u very much for giving me ur feedback and as you are Deaf it really helps me improve on my signing.Though i will have to say that as much as i try i cant please everyone.I have lots of Deaf friends who would agree w/ u but then again I have others that would agree w/ the signs. This is an issue because some Deaf people believe that the metaphors should be signed exactly, while other Deaf people want it in ASL only. I try to switch on and off but i will try harder! thanks!
