Sign Word List: Fant Chapter 3 - Vocabulary (alphabetical order) - Dr. B
← Word 33 of 52 →

Word List Author Note: PLEASE (the 'polite' sign) is one-handed. PLEASE(the verb) is two-handed. ("It pleases me to see you here.") The two-handed sign is usually glossed as ENJOY. It also can be used for "pleasure," "appreciate," and "entertain." Think of those feelings... and that's what this sign conveys. However, Fant signs ENJOY with one hand, which is the same as PLEASE, so he signs PLEASE when he means ENJOY. (If he used both hands, it would, indeed, be ENJOY.)

PLEASE (polite) compared to PLEASURE (see Note)
