Showing Plurality “S” in ASL
Have you ever wondered how to show the plural “s” in ASL? How would you sign the concept of “brothers”? It is simple. This is what you should do.
If you have a statement like:
My friend has brothers and sisters.
How do you show the plural in “brothers” and “sisters”? You would use words like, “SOME”, “FEW”, “SEVERAL”, “MANY”, “ABOUT”, or an exact number. There are only a couple of words in ASL that are already plural. These words are CHILDREN and PEOPLE.
The next time you hear words that are plural, think about how you would convey the concept of that word. Good luck. We are always here to help you out.
