How do you ask what like to in ASL?

You can't directly ask "what do you like" in ASL the way you would in English. You need to phrase it in a way that reflects ASL's structure and grammar. Here's how you could do it:

1. Using "WHAT YOU LIKE?"

* Sign "WHAT" (index finger circles in front of your face)

* Sign "YOU" (point to the person you're asking)

* Sign "LIKE" (touch your chin with your index finger and thumb, then move your hand outward)

2. Using "FAVORITE?"

* Sign "FAVORITE" (touch your chin with your index finger and thumb, then move your hand out and up)

* Sign "WHAT" (index finger circles in front of your face)

3. Using a Specific Category

* Sign the category: e.g., "FOOD," "COLOR," "ACTIVITY," etc.

* Sign "YOU LIKE?" (point to the person and then sign "LIKE")

Example Sentences:

* "What do you like to eat?"

* "FOOD YOU LIKE?"

* "What is your favorite color?"

* "COLOR FAVORITE WHAT?"

* "What do you like to do for fun?"

* "ACTIVITY YOU LIKE?"

Remember to use appropriate facial expressions and body language to convey your meaning clearly. It's also important to practice your signs in a mirror or with a native ASL speaker to ensure your pronunciation is accurate.
