1. "Can I talk to you?" (Formal):
* "YOU" (sign for "you" pointing to the person you want to talk to)
* "TALK" (sign for "talk")
* "ME" (sign for "I" pointing to yourself)
* "CAN" (sign for "can")
2. "Can I talk to you?" (Informal):
* "YOU" (sign for "you" pointing to the person you want to talk to)
* "TALK" (sign for "talk")

Note: You can also use the sign for "please" after either of these phrases to make the request more polite.
Important Considerations:
* Facial Expressions: Facial expressions are crucial in ASL. Use a polite and friendly expression when signing these phrases.
* Context: The context of the conversation will influence how you sign the phrase.
* Regional Variations: There may be slight variations in signing depending on the region.
I recommend watching videos or learning from a qualified ASL instructor to learn the correct signing techniques and nuances.
