 Hello, let's do another sign language breakdown. We're gonna be looking at a video called Goodwill Deaf Hero Finds $5,000 and Missing Cash The video is courtesy of a website news organization called D E F E N E W S deaf news Call me if you need a jingle. I will be here all day long. Okay, so Here we go So a or one deaf Work employee sometimes that means employee. So I've seen Working person mean employee, but I think in shorthand I've seen in previous videos on on this website that they'll do this when they just mean employee and they do say employee in the Captions down here. Feel free to read the captions I'm gonna save the signs as I see them and interpret them as best as I can So it may not be exactly as it's being captioned But I want to give you the impression of how I'm interpreting it based on the signs that are being given out So looks like he's spelling G O O D W I L Okay, so Goodwill her name and a Q a Y L a Next word the slight shift in body language. So you see how okay? Two things I want to highlight when he spelled Goodwill. He's just like, you know, the the store G O O D W I L L her name, by the way, and he shifts his body language to show like hey Is this is this is gonna be a name. So look m a Q uh-huh a Y L a and for me personally names are like the hardest things for me to try to understand because typically it's like if your name isn't like Joe Sam it's like, okay, M G H E R G G R is your name Gregory. Oh you spelled that wrong boy But M a q a y L a wow Makayla Makayla Makayla, let's see what we have for last name slight shift in the body language in between the first and the last name Not necessarily as long as there's just a pause But he's doing it to emphasize that this is the different part of the name. So D E L a P E N Oh, I'm sorry P E N a right Did I get that right? Let's back up and a yeah P E N a yeah, Pena Pena Pena, Pena Person good job. Good job. Wonderful applause Hero hero person So good job that H E R O you you're a hero Why because or why you? So I'm interpreting his use of why as of because he says you're a h e r o why you found and he'd make it a sign for found found Jacket that inside the front pocket Had five thousand. Oh That's an interesting sign for money This is a sign for So money, I know is this you got there's a lot of different ways to sign money too. So you have money You have paper money. Yeah, it's like I have a stack of papers You got this for for like kind of cash. It's more crude. This is the more vulgar way of saying money I don't know. It's just different ways of saying things, but this is the more like you you're not showing me any respect It's like where's my money? It's like, I don't know you anything You got a pain. He's like no, no, no, don't think that sign to me be respectful. And so he's making the sign for this which I feel like I've seen this before Because if I was gonna sign cash, I just say s or c a s h, right? Like that's the easy four letter word to sign out, but I feel like this is not so much money. This is more like Bills or like stacks of bills or like, I don't know I've not seen this a lot very often. I'm not too familiar with this But if I was gonna say anything I'd be like paper bills. If someone were to sign that to me I would be like, what do you what's what's the sign me? I'd have to ask them what that meant, but in the contested situation 5000 paper money or five thousand $5,000 maybe saying dollars. I'm gonna I'm gonna look this up ASL dollars Maybe that's a sign for dollars. Maybe this is a sign for dollars. Here we go So as a as a heads up where I feel like I'm at with my ASL I Feel like I know enough signs to where the signs that I don't know I can probably guess what they are based on context alone And so I know this wasn't money and I know this wasn't cash because I know how to say money I know how to say cash. This is money. This is cash or C a s h That's those are separate things. So what's another word that could be in between? 5000 or 5000 of the next sentence at the end of the word 5000 It's like 5000 paper money five thousand dollars in cash five thousand dollars. Ah, it must be dollars We looked it up. That is in fact the sign for dollars though It looks more like this and I guess you can also do it from the top, too He does looks like he goes for version two looks like he's opting for version two. Let's so let's review 5000 Goes from the top. What was that version one or two? That's version one version one guy. Okay, cool and C a s h. Yeah, he's so he does say cash look five thousand dollars in C a s h though like some people are really fast with how they sign that so like I would see that as cash But C a s h is how he's doing it. Okay, let's move on That or or Kind of lost myself in the sentence. Let's back up just weed it Okay, so wrong Given or donate wrongly donated $5,000. That was wrongly donated found. Oh So that's a that's more of that's that's not being translated down here in the captions, but he's saying like so If I were to interpret this so anyway, like that was $5,000 in cash that was wrongly donated Yeah She found it She found it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so there's a little bit of extra parts to that sentence kind of cool so anyway, the daily moth is I think this sign is how he says his organization of the daily moth daily moth. Let's see if there's a daily sign in there So daily moth, maybe okay. There isn't a daily, but I'm assuming this is the moth So like the moth the name of his group the name of his group is this, right? I'm fine with that. So moth person r e n a Oh R E n a D e n N I'm sorry. What's that name? D u n n D u n n What what's the name again? I? Guy said guys. I told you I'm back. I'm not good with names But look how he's not as shifting as hard for when he does Mikaela because he's probably done this person's name a number of times So at least he's more from the body language. You can tell he's more familiar with this person that he's signing the name of then Okay, here's the m Here's the a and it goes a little weird from here Q a we don't know what's going on. So let's see our E Is best and that's a that's a lazy e but we'll keep it e n a Uh-huh D Rena D you and he says Rena the caption says Renka That is not the name I'm seeing up here Let's let's just let's just double check and then we'll move on so So the Daily Moth person or a reporter from Daily Moth whose name is our e n oh Maybe that was the CA. Maybe I'm just going too slow our e n C a oh no that was there. It's just Renka her name's Renka. I thought oh geez D you and and Renka is The name a lot of a lot of cool names here. She reached out She reached out to do an interview and I'll show you bits clips From that Goodwill store in FW Texas Area so as a heads up a lot of people say, you know, why isn't ASL universal language, right? Like why isn't is why isn't the way how ASL is signed like them the way how everybody signs ASL and you can tell from the way of that ASL is normally done is there is a lot of spelling in Involved and not only that but a lot of words in ASL have come from just Fast ways of how we spell things so like C a s h That's just like cash like a lot of people won't take their time to spell that out and E W s that's just news now like that's just a the sign for it now in this Conversation alone Goodwill was spelled out a lot of different names For worth Texas like X. I don't know why Texas is like this. Don't ask me why but like I Guess X. I don't ask me why but states are weird But like there's so many things that are tied to that English alphabet That if you sign in Spanish sign language or if you sign in like Mexican sign language or even Canadian sign language I'm not I don't know they use ASL British sign language which has a completely different spelling or a letter alphabet system these things don't transfer over and That's why it's not universal because I can't spell something in English and expect you if you know Japanese sign language to be able to understand me or even though we both maybe speak English The signing systems are dependent on completely different things and that's the that's one of the main reasons why there's no universal sign language because spelling is a big component at least of an ASL and So yeah, yeah, it's a thing. All right, so let's go to the next part of the video So this is reneka reneka reneka done reneka done. Okay, and the Kayla They have nice names they're beautiful people they got very interesting names reneka done. I'm sure and She's one of my favorite signers on on the on the on the news station And let's see what's going on here. So what do you do you go on ahead? What do you go for it? Like what what do you do tell me about tell me what was going on with what you're doing? General do you what or like what happened that works too? So there were two people Married married two people them Lost oh, no, I can't see her hands money. She says money like the way how I say money So they lost money they lost their money. I can't see all the signs because your hands get out of frame in Donating donating donating wrongly they wrongly donated or they accidentally donated a bunch of money Or they donated stuff that had clothes that had the money in it and that And I'm sorry. I look every single time I look away. I lose myself where I am in the conversation Okay, so let's just back up a little bit. All right, so Those two that couple a couple who were married a married couple. Yeah, they're a moiried man and a married woman I think He came in they lost Their money their their money. Yeah in a A donation That was accidental or wrong a donation accidental donation for clothes Right That That was a while back That was I kept in that cut didn't quite get that sentence, but that's fine. She signs February FEB it was a lot of snow a lot of snow and And oh mean no store Shutdown closed So this nothing are or not allowed sometimes I see people say like so it snowed a lot of snow a snowstorm and For me No, but I don't know generally what she means by no so she could be like I don't like that I don't like snow or she could be like the store was closed. I think is what she says the store Because it says in the caption, so I'm looking for this sign store and then maybe closed. We'll see So something got cancelled So cancelled store No Closed okay. Well, that's all the stores were closed. No stores were open And then when the stores open I Went through stuff started rummaging started rummaging and I found it Found it Okay, cool a Big ol stack of 100 101. Oh, this is interesting. Okay, so she's signing She found a big ol stack of money, right? This is another way to do money. This is even more crude than this I So you got a lot of different money lessons in this video you got this yeah, I where's my money at I want my cash Give me those dollar bills. I want a big ol stack of 100s 100s 100s So actually you say 100 in sign language is one seat because it's sort of weirdly metric for some reason So senty is like a hundred like centimeters a hundred millimeters So like senty one cent or one centy when I say sent I mean C ENT I wish that's probably how cents are spelled anyway Scent C is a hundred but she's saying one hundred one hundred one zero zero One zero zero one zero zero, right? So it's more of the cooler way of saying a hundred, right? Look how she's saying one hundred one hundred one hundred one hundred. Yeah, she's saying one hundred I'm sorry one 100 100 she's closing it down one hundred zero zero one zero zero one zero zero one zero zero, okay, so Young kids sign differently than Even people in my generation. I'm only like in my 30s. So it's cool. It's cool. It's a cool way of signing hundred I've seen one zero zero Like if I have to do that I that was probably as cool as I would get But she's going like one hundred one hundred one hundred one hundred one hundred. By the way, who carries a Jacket full of $100 bills up to a $5,000 to Goodwill to donate to miss it to to accidentally donate that Like something's weird with this story man Something as a I'm not a detective, but I would be really Suspicious of everything that's going on there. Anyway Moving on. Oh, she doesn't speak sign language. Let's see Oh, they spelled they even misspelled her name, but I bet you that's how she says it You know the nice way. Yes, Mikaela. Well, I mean and she said I found it I found it She looks like a nice boss Who would probably mispronounce your name regardless? But it's also a nice person regardless. So Yeah, moving on so So she is using I can't see anything that's going on in this So the it feels like the frame rate dropped down to like 12 And I can't see anything that she's signing this box except for this hand. That's coming in and out of frame Sorry guys, let me try my best So Yeah, dude, I can't see I Can't see I Can't see but I do like the the the facials that are coming on on this side She's like, wow, I can't believe that if you're ever in a position where you are talking to someone that is Signing to you and you generally do agree with what they're saying or like, oh my gosh, I can't believe that That's a great sign. That's a great sign. I'm putting my pockets like Really? Look at look at the facials. Don't just do the hand sign. You got to do the face along with it She has great facials Okay, and I just can't see what's going on in this box. It's too. It's too cut there and now I can see again Okay, let's see what we got Finished finished. I felt like when I found the money So I felt like When I found the money, okay then To Impress or she wants to that's what it was That money then I Want to impress Okay, so it's very very very it's fascinating there. I then I want to Impress so then I want so she says then I I or me but it's I in this case you can do both They both the words mean both the sign means both of those words. So then I want to and she does to like this in Press and sometimes people don't sign the two You don't have to sign the two. It's not a big idea our big deal to sign the two, but like I said kids are signing different from how adults sign and in Adult schools where you might learn ASL. You'll learn the very formal textbook version of ASL, which is Likely outdated but also a formal way of how you have conversations with people in some language, right? But they'll be like where is Timmy's paper or money? Where is money? But if you talk to kids, maybe or people out of class would be like worse. Where's my cash, Timmy? Where's my cash to me? Where's my stack of bills? I want my hundies So along with that ASL is a culture. It's a chain or ASL's language that belongs to a culture cultures evolve cultures change They get bigger cultures exist to be shared with people not, you know sequestered and protected but they're meant to to absorb new things and change and become better and and and and constantly Develop and and and move things out and move new things in and one of the things that are being absorbed by ASL is a lot of English grammar and a lot of people who only sign Since there's no writing system in ASL they can sign and write in in perfect grammatical English and so when they sign the the two systems merge a little bit into each other and so you get words like to or that or At at and stuff like that these they there's conventions that have come in in ASL that mean those things And so while some people may complain it's like hey man, that's ASL That's not supposed to be in this language It's like dude languages are going to change faster than you have any capability of trying to keep them as like one thing And so it's kind of cool to see like young generation developing Like just this easy-going signing style where it's like incorporating a lot of ASL along with like cool What I considered originally like am I allowed to say this am I allowed to say this just like no I got even worse things to say than that bills baby and And stuff like that. It's just cool to see how fast it's developing Yeah, you don't get to see kids sign In this capacity, so it's kind of cool So that death can Honesty honor that can be deaf people can be honest all those people deaf All those people think that deaf people can't be honest. Okay, so I might have to Work my way back a little bit so I can show you the signs by signs So man when that was all done I felt I felt When I found the money she says when I found the the money I want to impress that my I Can that deaf people can be honest that deaf people can be honest All those people think deaf Can't Be honest Yeah, and you see how there's no need for the word saying be be in honesty So there's the mix between the two like yourself doesn't have words like like be and then into like the words like honest You just say honest and so sometimes she'll say to sometimes she doesn't say to sometimes she says be honest Some are only in this video is she saying honest and skipping be but it's cool that it's like it's bouncing between the two Between like strict hardcore formal ASL and then like this more relaxed fun way also really great facials to We can be Honest, yeah, I'm not taking it I gave it Man, I don't know. I gave it and I can't see the hands and it's cut off I'm trying to see if I'm saying like I gave it to my boss. Do I see the word boss in here? I Don't know how you say boss. I know you'd say things like governor or president ASL boss. How do you say boss? Oh, that's how you say boss you tap your shoulder Huh, okay. Well, that's a new word for me Boss boss, okay, so then if this means boss Let's see how the word or the signs proceeding into it Leave so I ain't gonna take that. No known me. Nah, I gave it to My boss, that's what she says. Yeah Who I am AM Okay, so let's see how let's do that whole breakdown of that sentence No, we can be honest. I'm not gonna take that money. So she's basically doing a face like Right like I'm not gonna take that money. No, no, no, no, I'm gonna give it to my boss That's who I am That's who I am I'm gonna give it to my boss who I am Cool. All right. So now we go back to Renka after that After that Them or it he she good will after that good will Award you oh That's interesting. I didn't see that before so this is the sign for what's my time? How far am I? I'm already ha almost nearly half hour into this guys. Sorry about this This is the sign for award right award But she's moving it towards someone in the sense that it's awarding someone So I think that's cool. I've never seen that before so that's how you can say award Award to award someone. I thought award was like a like I didn't know you can turn this into a verb So this is the sign for award. Hey, I have an award, but to award someone Something turns that what I thought was a noun into a verb. It's kind of cool awarded you good will awarded you a check a Check no, she's correcting. No, no, no. I got a medal No, oh, I see you got a medal and Then First you got a medal. Oh, that's a funny. That's a funny little that's it Isn't that a conversation that you have with kids? It's like hey didn't good will give you a check No, no, no, they gave you a medal. Oh, I'm sorry to give you metal, right? Then they gave me a check. It's like, oh, okay. I Love it it says so much about the mindset of my Kayla is just like no No, no, they didn't give me a check They gave me a medal then they gave me a check whereas like from ranker's point of view It's like they gave you money Because you found money and that's that is what a big company should be able to do for you But like she is not she's so past the money that she's just like no I got a medal first because they wanted to like recognize that I did a nice thing and then they gave me a check I don't know what happened about that, but yeah, they give me money afterwards. It's like it's really cool It's really cool. Like she has my mindset She's like adult thinking you lost money. You found it You should get some of that money you or goodwill should pay you some money and then she's like No, I didn't care about the money, dude I was only about the you know just being able to just show that you know that people can can be good It's like I know that too, but baby girl you need some money Did you get a check no, I got a medal. Oh, okay. Well, and then I got a check. Oh, okay. Yeah, then we're all good Then we're on the same page Awarded you uh-huh a check No, I got a medal. She says no, I got a medal medal. Ah, this is the design for metal Does that make sense? This is the sign for metal metal. I got a medal medal I got a metal medal for all my English Pete folks. Oh, I see you got a medal that yeah, and then I got a check And he probably missed the part where I was like, okay, okay, great Anyway, this is the check. Can I see how big this check is? I'm gonna have to look this up later. I might look it up later on how much would you expect her to get? for this I Know it's a very tacky thing for me to ask, you know this far into the video I would hope it was at least like 500 bucks at least Good. Well, I know you can dish that out If it was like 400 bucks, I'd be like dude nah. Oh, there's the metal by the way 500. I'd be like yeah, that's not bad That's not bad. That's like a full-on paycheck. That's not bad. You know, that's I take that Anyway, oh look at her. She's trying to say thank you, but no one's looking at her. That was a classical problem with deaf people So typically you have to get people's attention first. So first get that people's attention then you sign Classic move look and there's different ways have how you get people's attention You got to show your body language intent to sign and there's typically also another thing called Lean and lean back where it's like, hey, I'm not gonna sign right now But I am gonna sign like say pretend I'm talking to a person and we're right in front of each other And we're signing back and forth if I'm done talking I'm gonna lean back But if I'm getting ready to sign to say hey, I'm about to start talking to you I'm gonna lean forward and then that person's gonna lean back and so like there's this cease Push-pull is what it's called push-pull Motion of like hey, I'm getting ready to talk now. I'm talking. I'm getting ready to stop talking going on you talk Okay, cool. I'm done talking now you talk and and that's how the body language goes for it. So when she So when this lady gets ready to sign and no one's looking at her She makes no indication that hey, I'm I'd like to say something or sign to you in ASL She's just getting ready to dish out the thank you sign But when McKayla gets ready to sign look how she gets all into it She makes this really really obvious shoulder move, right and She starts doing lean back push-pull or or like leaning leaning back forward into the conversation There we go. Thank you. Oh She's so cute Everyone sees this person Even though she was the first person to initiate the sign and to cut her off too That's so sad even though she was the first student to initiate the sign She gave no indication of body language that she was getting ready to speak and that is an important thing to do Even if you are an English speaker, even if you're talking with your mouth Make some indication that you are about to begin whether it's like breathing in raising your hand or starting with the joke or like Leaning leading into the conversation like oh, yeah, you know what? I actually heard about something like that yesterday You see like or yeah, my mom has always told me something that I thought was really important And that's a great way to frame People to start paying attention to you as you get ready to say the thing that you really do want to say or hey I don't want to Can I repeat what you had just told me like or hey, that's a really good idea actually I thought about blah blah blah blah So many different ways you can do it with words, but throw some body language in there too I like to use my hands and and just show that I am interested in what's being said And get a little bit more animated get everyone's attention pulled in towards me and then I start talking That's the best way to do it. Anyway, let's follow up That's follow up. She's trying to say thank you here Okay, so I feel Proud right Oh, wow. I wow I'm just like that never had me before I feel Wow She talks like you would expect okay, so I just feel so proud, you know, I feel proud right I feel like wow I Oh my gosh, like I never had that Before right. I'm just feel wow I'm young and I'm young plus I'm young plus I can I'm young and I'm young and I can Do that show everybody that I'm deaf I'm That's who deaf or That's a different sign that I am deaf So I'm looking at the catch that says that's who I am but I don't even think it's a but I think that is basically what she's saying That I'm deaf Me I mean, that's who I am deaf That's it so There's a thing in sign language called non manual signs where it's like the sign doesn't Sign for sign mean a word in English It's more of like the gesture means a bunch of different things So like when she was like I'm not going to steal it like I'm not going to put that in my pocket and walk away with it This just means putting your pocket and this is like no But like the context of the situation defines what it means in English, right? And so I think what she's just like deaf You know Deaf right like that's who I am. I'm a deaf person I don't want to show people that we're honest and I just feel proud This has never happened to me. I'm young. I just want to show people I'm young. I'm deaf That's who I am. I'm out here, baby I'm out here. That's what it is Very good job lots of respect Wonderful can't see the hands Uh, I follow your show show example follow your example show show show and if They find something face Uh Give it give to Uh do Give to the right Owner person Give to the right give give it to the right owner. Let's just give it to the rightful owner. Yeah, that works. That works If you find something, you know, just give it give it To the rightful Owning person Yes, look at that face. Look at that face like yeah, just give it to the rightful owner person, right? And she's like yes. Yes. Yes Exactly Also or like I agree. Yeah. Thank you so much For your time I appreciate it Thank you. Thank you not a problem Thank you Okay, fantastic. Let me look at what she was saying while she was signing So while renka is signing this she says yes. Yes. I hope Oh, I hope I hope This is uh, completely non-standard non-textbook asl. It's like I hope because I hope right I hope that's why you typically sign asl for hope asl hope Looks like this Hope yeah, and in previous videos when we're doing the daily moth video of the lady who was like Making a video or animation and she's like I hope I hope You know we can grow our audience right like grow our audience, right? But she said hope and now she's a little bit younger says hope, right? It's a stylistic difference of the same word And the distinction here is that this is totally non-standard This is how a person who doesn't sing in English or sign in asl would say hope is like yeah I hope so I hope this happens. So sort of like a non-manual this Descriptor signed for hope right and she's using it as a way How she would normally talk with a person who is fluent in asl and she is fluent in asl It's just cool to see the stylistical choice of the non-formal way of communicating between two people who are both fluent in asl Just pulling and grabbing things from different cultures and infusing it into their language that is a beautiful thing Okay, so Give it Give to The rightful owning person Own person the owner the rightful owner and I love that face Ranka, that's so great. That's so great Exactly right or like also also to I see it. I see the eye to eye. Thank you so much For your time. Thank you for your Uh time Thank you so much. Fantastic. Fantastic. Thank you. Thank you. Fantastic. Okay. Okay, that works. No, she's saying fantastic great It doesn't have to mean fantastic. It's like, okay, okay This line could also mean okay is what I'm saying. I'm now talking just to myself. Isn't that great? All right. Let's move on wonderful story Wonderful remarks Wonderful remarks Okay, I'm gonna have to I'm just gonna verify one thing remarks Sentences sentences is this this is how you say sentences. So how do you say story? story Story I feel like it should be this. Yeah Yeah, I knew my spidey sense was what? But you could also do this which is totally fine, too. Let me see what's the difference between two Okay, it's just a variation. So I have seen this Way more often than I've seen this when I see this I hear Sentence or grammar, right? I'm thinking like Or she made a comment. She made a comment like a very very short Thing or he made a remark um about blah blah blah blah blah But uh, it's a short story a short story could be like this a short story could be like this So it's a variation. I love it We proud We proud o f u Look how he says it we proud o f u m a q a y l a we're proud of you mckayla Okay, cool. I'm at the end of the video Uh quick takeaways Man, that was a while. Uh, these are gonna be long videos Deal with it. Uh also subscribe to this channel. It's a good channel Um, that was a cool cute video that mckayla reminded me Now here's the here's the gamble. We're we're pretty far into this video, but I want to look this up. This is called ugly betty This is not a bet. Okay. Let me let me back up Betty Faya when I was in california There was a show called betty la fea that you'll say betty la fea. I don't know if I can click images on this because There we go. Okay. First of all You can't take What is generally a cute girl And put her in thick glasses and pretend like she's not A cute girl anymore, right? But that is what the show that is basically the premise of the show It's the same thing that they did with uh princess jellyfish Princess jellyfish and you'll see where I'm going with this. I know it's a little bit of a tangent There's a show called princess jellyfish same concept take a pretty girl But have her in thick glasses and be like man. I'm so ugly. I don't know how I can ever be pretty This is like just take off your glasses. You you're obviously You're obviously doing something So anyway in america they took uh betty la fea and rebooted it and they called it ugly betty Betty la fea and ugly betty mean the same thing by the way Uh Uh, let's let's take a risk. Yeah. Yeah. Look they took A really pretty girl and they just put her in weird glasses. They're like now she's ugly and I'm like, okay one No, that's not true. That's not how it works hollywood, but two it I feel like it's it uh Normalized the style right because It's just it is a it's it's a it's a It's a how do I put this it's like when Uh family matters came out and then it brought back Suspenders, I don't know if you guys were alive for that Suspenders Sometimes shows do things That I feel bring back the cool like if there was a cool if there was a kid in 2021 Who went to school dressed like this? That would be the coolest kid in school Let me be straight up with you man this This back then was like nerd, but this right now would be like holy crap This kid might be like the coolest kid in school like straight up Look at that. Look at the high-rise phase right here. Look at the cardigan thing. He's got going on He's got the picking waltz. He's got the socks. He's got the whatever you want to call these shoes, man This kid's got style and everyone else is wearing clothes Their moms brought bought for them at like, you know seers or whatever and this kid's like rocking Suspenders and stuff get out of town kid that kid's got style. So what I'm saying is basically uh this lady Uh Through the zeitgeist of shows that she probably wasn't even alive for when it came out has absorbed a very cute aesthetic That I feel has been normalized through pioneering shows Well beyond her time and so thank you very much tv shows From way back in the day for making things like that happen. All right guys. That's it. Have a good time Hope you learned some things
