Instead, you have to combine it with the sign for the item or person you're referring to.
Here's how it works:
1. Sign the item or person: For example, "book" or "friend"
2. Add the "my" sign: You do this by pointing to yourself with your index finger and then pointing to the item/person you just signed.
Example:
To sign "my book," you would:
1. Sign "book"
2. Point to yourself, then point to "book"
Important Note: Sign language is very visual and relies on context and facial expressions. So, you'll need to be aware of these aspects when communicating.
