    The sign for "way" - that's the "way" I like it!

    In my opinion (someone else can correct me if I'm wrong), it's just another way of saying it. Even in English, you can interchange the sentence "That's the way I like it" for "That's how I like it"

    The sign for "way" - that's the "way" I like it!

    I only want to use ASL :) Thinking about it more, I guess it can be changed for "how" in pretty much every circumstance Thank you all for your input!

    The sign for "way" - that's the "way" I like it!

    Hi everyone, I'm just wondering, would the sign "way" ... as in "That's the way (road) to the church" ... be signed the same if you wanted to say (to quote a song lol) "that's the way I like it" or would "way" never really be used in the 2nd context, and be exchanged for another word --...

    gah.

    I was taught that you do it like this: Sign year. When your dominant fist hits the top of your nondominant fist (after doing the sign), point back behind your shoulder with your index finger. hope that makes sense. as a side note, "next year" is done the same way except you point forward...

    yet another asl grammar question - use of "how"

    I have a question about the use of the word "how" mid-sentence. If I wanted to say: He is changing how the business works. would I sign it like.. "he change how business work" ... "he change business work" ...or is there a better way? thanks :) :ty::ty::ty::ty:
