NZSL (New Zealand Sign Language) Week 5th - 11th May
Many Deaf people and children celebrate their first language - NZSL this week. Let's learn each day of the sign word of the day. Today - Figs. There is no sign language for Fig, and I am a deaf linguist who uses similar India Sign Language (note they use two hands). I borrowed sign language on loan and used one-hand signs. Here are two photos, but fortunately, I could not download the video here. In the first photo, use your fingers and thumbs close together and move upward in the shape of a tip. In the second photo, open your hand like a flower opening. Then, the sign moves upward as a tip, then downward by turning the hand upside down and opening it like a flower. I hope this makes sense for you to learn. Update I made two video clips under YouTube.
