Need help with a class translation

Hi There,

 

Im taking an ASL class at school and im having trouble translating one of the signs.  Its the last sign on question 2.  I believe He says my Name is Bev, then creates a repeating 20 NUM motion with both hands.  Ive tried finding it in reverse dictionaries but i think im missing something.  Any help would be awesome:)

Cheers,

It's something like "what to do" or "what is she doing" or "what's going on" but does not mean, "what's happening?"  I can't see the gentleman's face but if he is squinting his eyes then it's like a wh kind of question.   The motion you are referring to is uniquely ASL and not an exact translation of English words.  That's my two cents on the question.

    • Welcome! I'm also new and agree interaction is essential for learning ASL. I'm in EDT too. Feel free to reach out at [email protected] to connect and practice together! Edited May 21 by Drift Boss
    • I think the designer cleverly used erroneous shapes since the message is Don't Trust Anybody (even the shirt designer). :-) 
    • Hello Tammy, I am hearing as well. I just started learning sign language on my own. I am preparing to take an American Sign Language class next semester and want to get a head start. I'm in the Eastern Daylight Time Zone. I would be interested in practicing ASL as we learn together.
    • I am hearing but I have been interested in sign language for years. I wish I could remember what I have learned. I took a semester in high school, I took a semester in college. Loved it. Then I became a mom and forgot everything. This past year I became interested again. I am 50 now and want to learn.
