I tried to to the video response, but I don’t like the way I look, so…..
My favorite sign is *stupid*. It’s how I feel when I try to sign. I am glad deaf people are so patient……

My favorite sign is “beautiful”. When I was young. My mom was showing me her first rose of the summer and she signed beautiful and said the word. It made me look around and see things all around and it was beautiful. I think about that summer day every time I sign that sign. Lisa, the way you open up to us on your video is beautiful!

LaRonda,
Isn’t it amazing how sometimes our signs are so beautiful we can’t find an English word for the translation.
The sign you did really does bring out unity, harmony and getting along, but those English words don’t do the sign justice.

I don’t know what my favorite word is in English … possibly “fire.” That’s not the word really, though. Just the concept. Maybe “sky,” just for the open sound, the way that it finishes up as infinite as what it describes.
My favorite word in Welsh is a phrase, and it’s silly: “Llawer rhy ddrud.” It means something that isn’t really pretty: “much too expensive.” But if you hear it spoken, it’s magnificently soft and fluid. Another is “ar hyd a lled y byd i gyd.” “The length and breadth of the entire world.” Welsh has a lot of phrases like that that are just transcendently beautiful; poetry is a highly respected art in that country. Winners of poetry contests are above-the-fold news. I think another word in Welsh that I adore is “uwchddarlithydd.” Just so many d’s.
I can’t think of a word in Welsh that I dislike, actually. It’s the most perfect spoken language on Earth.
I think my favorite word in French is “voiture,” just for the sound of it. Nothing special. Means “car.”
My favorite sign so far is “knowledge.” I love what it means and how it gets it across. The finishing shape of the two spread out 5-hands is lovely and graceful, along with the unstated assumption in the sign itself that knowledge is meant to be set free in the world.

LaRonda, I just watched your sign, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything more beautiful. WOW.
May 29th, 2008 at 11:15 pm
Janis - oohhh do you have a microphone? You can add an audio comment for me to hear your Welsh! That’s so fun!
I also love that you are commenting on LaRonda’s video, isn’t it so beautiful? My goal is to have a big community here. I hope LaRonda will see your comment.
I really appreciate your input - it has been really really wonderful. I’ve learned some great ideas (and some big words) from your posts!
