Beautiful! Besides your mother tongue, what is your favorite language to converse in?
I'm sure we've both signed/said some "choice" things as learners... 😆
(I *KNOW* I have)
What's your native language? And how many languages have your tried picking up?
Minibits! Sorry, missed that!
Tonality in Chinese seems similar to movement in ASL; It's the difference b/w FAT + PREGNANT, SHY + PROSTITUTE, or COFEE + MAKE-OUT 😏
🥷WoS (for small amounts) - I tried everything else: BLUE, Mutiny, Phoenix, Nunchuck...
But none can replace the ease of use that is WoS.
Got any you'd recommend?
LOL! I see... I thought maybe you're a musician + wanted perfect pitch for that.
I watch a number of polyglots who are fluent in Mandarin - such a complex language
What was the impetus to train (near) perfect pitch?
Tonality- the bane of my linguistic capabilities! Being fluent in Chinese- Do you also have perfect pitch?
🔥This is awesome!! These have very similar grouping + "look" of the ASL signs for these particular examples
Ah! The same w/ ASL: Though there are sets of iconic signs (ie MORNING, TREE, etc), most are arbitrary
This makes sense
Why are good, thank you, and you're welcome all related? That makes less sense to me
I'm not familiar w/ why GOOD + THANK-YOU are so similar (or sometimes the same, with their meaning dependent on context)-
On a subjective level, the feeling/concept of GOOD/GRATITUDE share similarities, but I don't know the etymology w/those two signs to give a good answer
Interestingly, there's not *really* a sign for "YOU'RE WELCOME"; instead, the following signs are more frequently used: FINE++, SURE, NO-BIGGIE, "pashaw" (more of a gesture meaning 'no worries')...
There are many who do sign the literal "WELCOME" to mean "YOU'RE-WELCOME"... that's a linguistic pet peeve of mine as conceptually it doesn't make sense.
👀 Interesting... What does AFTERNOON + EVENING look like in Chinese?

The correct answer is:
JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE
(💯!!)
YEEEES! 👑
Today's a good day for freedom... and zapping you some sats ⚡️
Yes!
MORNING moves up (like the rising☀️)- All the signs in that grouping (MORNING, NOON, AFTERNOON + NIGHT) follow the same "internal logic"
