I do not mean as in "recent" like "Just Married," but as in "I just wanted..."

or "Just what I wanted..." Depends on how you say it, of course.

I know some words in English probably does not really exist in sign language or (ASL) and some of them are probably replaced by gesture or facial expression...

I am curious if there's a sign for that word and I've already tried website aslpro.com

Anyone have an idea or know the sign for it?

Thanks.

The only sign for 'just' that I have known for years... Use 'j' fingerspell and your front hand palm.

Maybe that sign is outdated, but Banjo, Reba, Tousi and the likes will probably know the correct sign for it.

Capmeister

I use the same sign as for only. Index finger up, first facing outward, then turned inward.

You should be able to see it here: http://commtechlab.msu.edu/SITES/ASLWEB/J/W1941.htm

And this site in general is good: ASL Browser

Yep, that's what I would do. One of those times that its concept, not word.

Interpretrator

"I just wanted..." and "Just what I wanted..." are two different concepts for the word "just."

In the first it's more like ONLY, although I think SIMPLE might be closer.

In the second it's closer to EXACT or PERFECT.

I think you could get the concept across without focusing on that word though, since there isn't a really good one-to-one interpretation in my opinion.

Capmeister

Judging by your avitar, do you play CoH? Just curious.

But--yes, you're right. Funny, to avoid confusion, when signing I'd probably mouth "exactly" instead of "just" when signing "just what I wanted" to avoid my small hearing brain being confused. I often change my English sentence composition to meet with what's more easily signed by me.

Silentwolfdog

I was just curious, I knew that word "just" can be used in a many different ways.

I liked the sign that asl browser used.

As in for "exactly" I would think it depends on the situation I am in. If I was really excited and not thinking straight then I would probably have used "exactly" but if I was happy and calm then I would probably have used "just what I wanted..."

But I think I ended up spelling for word "just" because I do not know sign for it. I am not type of person who tends to use one language a lot. My brain always work in two languages all the time. It's just that way it is for me. Of course because of that, I ended up being weak on both languages.

What about "just go..."?

but say I wanted to sign I need just one more I am thinking I would sign the circling finger then move to signing 'one more'. Would that be correct?

the way ive learned to do this is say it in another way.

i need just one more
i need only one more

only is the index finger way listed above.

that is just what i need
thats exactly what i need



etc

Dixie

so I would basically sign I NEED ONLY ONE-MORE?

Sorry if this sounds pretty first grader but I'm wanting learn ASL and I'm trying to learn something new everyday and incorporate it into my routine.

I think ONLY is redundant in there. I NEED ONE-MORE is fine. (Or ONE-MORE, I NEED, depending on how you like your sentence structure.)

Or if you must have the "only" concept in there I would sign it I NEED ONLY-ONE MORE. (ONLY-ONE is signed...hmm...kind of like a J but with the index finger, if that makes sense.)

I do, actually just got back into it for the first time in a while. That toon, Interpretrator, is long gone, though.

Dixie

Thanks, now I understand what you're saying.

so it should come out something like I NEED ONLY-ONE MORE. Perhaps using the ONLY for when I am stressing I need just one more item.

Thanks again.

I guess the same sign, for "only." But you're attempting to translate English into ASL and it doesn't work word-for-word. I would make "just--go" (a frustrating comand to go) with a frustrated expression and then this sign:

Cool. I'm on Liberty.

Silentwolfdog

Ah I see... I thought no one is going to answer my last question. Anyway, thanks. ^^

I sometimes fingerspell things to emphasize them, and "just" is one of them depending on how I mean it.

christlovedeaf

"just go", as go on, and "just as I wanted" as same as sign exactly and other as Just God as sign "fair (equal) God"
