Help?

sinned · 02-19-2010, 03:05 PM

Hi.

My girlfriend has tasked me with deciphering a picture she found. i am sure already knows what it says and is testing my investigative skills. I am new to signing and just learning basic alphabet and numbers so this is way beyond me and i have no luck with "Googling" it over the last few days.

I'll post the picture and if someone could help deciphering the panes I would appreciate it. I believe the last pane is "help" but it really doesn't make any sense.

Thanks

There appears to be text in each frame but I can't read it.

In the last frame, the figure has a tear on his cheek.

In the last frame, the sign could be AMEN because the hand motion direction looks like it goes up and down rather than to or from the character. HELP-ME or HELP-YOU would be a different direction. However, I can't be sure either way because the picture isn't very clear.

Are you sure the three images go together? The backgrounds are different colors, so it doesn't look sequential.

Yeah, the images are supposed to go together. It is supposed to be a phrase I believe when all put together.

the last sign looks like help and I think the first two are saying your welcome.

**Reba** · 02-19-2010, 05:03 PM

Maybe he's saying "thank you for your help", and the tear is because he's so touched by the help? The first sign could be MY. The first two signs look incomplete but the art is so flat.

That’s kind of what I got too; it just didn't make any sense in this context. She is kind of romantic and I would have thought it meant something along those lines.

it looks like you and me heartbeat? with a tear coming out of the shut eye. like he is in love with her and his heartbeats go so faster. i guess?

Like "Our hearts beat as one" or "Our hearts beat together"?

Frisky Feline · 02-19-2010, 07:32 PM

do you have a link that you found this pictures?

sinned · 02-19-2010, 08:26 PM

No, LOL. That would be too easy. I just have the picture itself, it is Korean.

The last picture his hands are making a stirring motion not up and down. It’s supposed to symbolize “love” I guess? The first two are "me" and "you” So the picture story is supposed to portray "Our love" is what I'm told. Not a very good portrayal if you ask me.

Thanks for all your help.

Maybe that's what it "symbolizes" but that's not what is being "signed." That sounds more like gesturing than signing, at least ASL signing.

sinned · 02-20-2010, 03:51 PM

I agree. I think I got "set-up".

If it's Korean, it might not be in ASL at all! It could be "I like kittens" or something.

As pets or as hors d'oeuves?

Here are possibiltlies: "willing to help?"

The character looks odd - he has red eyes. .alien? could be his attempt to say, me you all help.
