How do you say like in ASL?

You can't sign "like" directly in ASL. It depends on the context of what you are trying to say. Here are some possible ways to sign it:

1. Similar to:

* SAME: This sign means "the same" or "similar to," and is often used when you are comparing something.

* CLOSE: This sign means "close to" or "almost," and can be used when something is nearly the same but not quite.

2. For example:

* FOR EXAMPLE: This sign is used to introduce an example of something, similar to how "like" is used to introduce an example in spoken English.

* LIKE THIS: This sign is used to demonstrate something, similar to how "like" is used to show a specific example in spoken English.

3. As a filler word:

* ASL doesn't usually use filler words like "like" in English. Instead, the signer might use a slight pause or a specific facial expression to emphasize a point.

Example:

Let's say you want to say, "I like pizza." You could sign it like this:

* PIZZA (sign for pizza)

* GOOD (sign for good)

* I (sign for I)

The sign for "like" is implied by the context of the sentence.

Important note: Signing "like" directly in ASL can be confusing or even disrespectful, as it can sound like you are saying something is "bad" or "not good."
