Hi I have a question and I don't know if this is the appropriate place to ask it?

How do you say 'I have a question?'

Do you see something like 'Question me have' or 'Me have question'?

Sorry if its wrong I'm still a beginner.

Hi,

 

Im still a newbie but I think you can just get away with signing Question.  Rather than Topic>Subject>Question

THE SIGNS
QUESTION? - Index finger and thumb tips touch to make make "O" shape which traces question mark shape in front of body.
 

Unless you want to phrase it in a way that you are asking a specific question.

The structure of asking a question in BSL is:

TOPIC > SUBJECT > QUESTION

e.g.

LIVE (topic) > YOU (subject) > WHERE? (question)

You can see this in the phrases:

Spoken English

British Sign Language

What is your name?

Name you what?

How old are you?

Age you what?

What job do you have?

Work you what? / Work you where?

Where do you live?

Live you where?

Are you Deaf, or hearing?
Deaf hearing you which?

 

 

Hope this helps :)

    • Welcome to the forum, Jason! It's great that you've decided to learn BSL! How long have you been learning for up to now?
    • Hi, I'm Jason and I'm a student at uni : I'm learning BSL so I can communicate with and understand the deaf community more! I'm hoping to get a really good knowledge of BSL while I'm here.
    • Welcome to the forum! It's great that you've decided to learn BSL! How long have you been learning for up to now?
    • My interest came from BSL module in uni (student paramedic) and I wanted to build on my knowledge so that I would be able to communicate with patients in the future. I also love chatting to strangers and I want to be able to do that with people who sign to!! 
    • I work in commercial aviation as Senior Cabin Crew.   I wanted to learn Sign Language as we carry an increasing number of persons who identify as deaf, and I think it is an invaluable skill to have from a communication point of view. Although we have ASL and BSL capabilities via electronic QR codes on board, the ability to provide that personal and human interaction is equally important. 
    • I work in research and want to learn BSL to enable more inclusivity within this field. I work with many different communities and find that the deaf community is too often overlooked. I want to address this and hopefully learn a lot myself and maybe gain some new friends.  
    • Hello, I am a Clinical Research Practitioner. I recruit people to research studies mostly in hospitals but will be moving out into the wider community..
    • Hello both.  I’m also happy to practise some BSL, as with anyone on the site. Feel free to send me a message!
