Hello, recently I shared with you that I
got a new pet! I'm so excited about it. And you commented with all
the different pets you have. So I'm going to sign a few of those today, to
teach you words related to different animals, and maybe pets.
At the end, I'll suggest a different video ... with even more animal signs -- all kinds
of animals. Today I'm focusing on pets. BIRD BIRD CAT CAT It's like the whiskers coming off a cat's nose. CAT The sign CAT has variation. For example:
CAT, or th
e middle finger and thumb: CAT. So index or middle, no difference. CAT Same thing as CAT CAT or CAT A third way: Just these two fingers
-- index and thumb -- "Cat". I tend to see it more with the
fingers extended: CAT or CAT. Also you can use two hands! CAT. CAT. A more formal sign, maybe. More emphasis. CAT. Or CAT DOG DOG The word DOG has variation, too.
I'll show a few different signs: Me? I sign DOG. DOG DOG. It's kind of like you're snapping at a dog,
to say "come here" or "look at me".
Similar. A second way: DOG DOG So you start tapping your hip, again like
you're calling a dog to come over to you. DOG DOG A third way: DOG A "D" into a "G" -- it's similar to
fingerspelling "dog" but there's no "O". DOG. DOG DOG A fourth way: DOG DOG It's like the ears on a dog. DOG Again: DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG FERRET, someone requested. But
I haven't seen a sign for it! I would fingerspell: FERRET. FERRET If you use a sign for "ferret",
like FERRET -- something lke this, I'm not sure. I neve
r used that
s ign. I don't have a ferret, and I don't have any friends who have
them. But, you can fingerspell FERRET. FISH FISH Also, you might see it with the
non-dominant index finger: FISH Same thing: FISH or FISH And remember, that's different from the activity
of FISHING. FISHING, "to go fish" is different. FROG FROG The 2 fingers extend like
frogs legs, under the chin. FROG GUINEA PIG GUINEA PIG. The sign PIG is like this. You
can fingerspell "guinea" PIG. HORSE HORSE or HORSE HORSE
LIZARD, I have seen a few things
related to the tongue: LIZARD, or LIZARD Like that. LIZARD RABBIT or BUNNY or RABBIT (2 hands) Now the thumb is in, and the
palm faces backward. RABBIT. RABBIT RABBIT A second way is like this. RABBIT BUNNY RABBIT SNAKE SNAKE SNAKE Someone commented about a
pet tarantula -- fs-TARANTULA You'd tend to either sign SPIDER, or
fingerspell to specifically say "tarantula". SPIDER If you're discussing, maybe describing your pet
the first time, you might sign fs-TA
RANTULA, and then once that label is
given, use the sign SPIDER. SPIDER Ooh -- it's not for me. I am so scared. TURTLE TURTLE TURTLE It's like the head of a turtle is peeking out. You might've seen the sign SEA-TURTLE like this. Turtle-- that one is a sea turtle. SEA-TURTLE TURTLE , in general. TURTLE Let's review. Okay, that's a few different pets!
I suggest a different video if you want to learn more animal signs. I'll add that
link here, plus in the description below. It's from -- that vid
eo is from ASL THAT. That teacher is wonderful, they have
many videos I suggest you watch. Thank you so much for watching!
