There are some people that will insist you should do the sign
"EVERYDAY" as the first sign in this sentence. Honestly, I personally tend to
just sign: "HOW-MANY CUP WATER YOU DRINK EVERYDAY YOU?" When I sign it
like that I tend to start the sentence with my eyebrows down (for the "wh"
question) but end the sentence with my eyebrows going up as if I were asking the
yes/no question "Do you mind telling me?" But that is a bit complex
to defend when my colleagues challenge it. In this next version you can see how I'm taking more time to emphasize "CUPS." This version helps clarify that I want to know specifically the number of cups that are being drank on a daily basis. Plus I put the "HOW-MANY" and the end which fits in nicely with traditional ASL grammar. WATER CUPS YOU DRINK EVERYDAY HOW-MANY YOU? |
