How do you say funny in sign language?

There isn't one universal sign for "funny" in American Sign Language (ASL). The sign you use depends on the context of what you mean by "funny." Here are some examples:

If you mean something is humorous:

* "Ha ha" sign: This is a simple sign with a slight shaking motion of the hand, usually done with a smile.

* "Funny" sign: This sign involves making a "C" shape with your dominant hand and bringing it to your cheek, then moving it in a circular motion.

* "Laugh" sign: This sign uses a hand shape like you're holding a cup and bringing it to your mouth.

If you mean something is strange or unusual:

* "Weird" sign: This sign involves making a "W" shape with your hand and moving it back and forth.

* "Strange" sign: This sign involves making a "C" shape with your hand and moving it across your forehead.

If you mean something is amusing:

* "Amusing" sign: This sign involves making a "C" shape with your hand and bringing it to your cheek, then moving it outward in a circular motion.

Other tips:

* Context is key: Use your facial expressions and body language to help clarify the meaning.

* The sign for "funny" can vary depending on the region and dialect of ASL.

It's always best to learn ASL from a qualified instructor to ensure you are using the correct signs and understanding the nuances of the language.
