Can you just put any words together to form a sentence?
Or is it different?
Like can I look up the words Nice, to, meet, you, separately and put them together to make a sentence?

They probably wouldn't understand you.But would deaf people still understand me if I just put sentences together?
I mean, either way I am going to take an ASL class very soon, but in the mean time...
For instance, I would probably say this in English... "I am going to my friend's house for a party." In ASL, it would be... "FRIEND PARTY ME GO" or "ME GO FRIEND PARTY".
I think that is interesting because since its also english, you'd think it was the same.
Like how in spanish you put the sentences together differently.
Interesting.
Keep this coming.
I like what I read. I almost wrote "I like what I hear" then I thought that would be rude.

ASL doesn't follow English grammar structure but ASL does follow ASL grammar structure.You can't really put ASL together into sentences.
ASL doesn't really follow specific grammar structures. One sentence could be said in different ways... but the big thing that ASL lacks is words like "is" "are" "am" etc.
You couldn't have a meaningful conversation that way.But would deaf people still understand me if I just put sentences together?
ASL also has classifiers in which a whole concept is made in one sign depending on the context.
Despite what some others say, ASL was not created to shorten the conversations. In linguistics class, we studied and analyzed ASL and English and both are completely separate languages with their own syntax and grammatical rules.
Very complicated to explain via posting so my strong recommendation is to take classes or immerse yourself in an ASL environment.
Good luck!
