Hi guys!
I'm a bit confused. Do sentences like “Some rabbits eat fruits” and “The rabbits eat some fruits” get signed differently?
The first one is signed with this word order : FRUITS SOME RABBITS EAT".
How would you sign the other one?
Do I have to change the word order for this slight difference, or is it expressed otherwise?

Asl doesn't have qualifiers like The and so forth

Thanks for your reply! 🙏 I understand that ASL doesn’t have articles like “the.” What I’m actually trying to ask about is the difference in quantity, not the article itself. - Some rabbits (not all rabbits) eat fruits. - The rabbits (possibly all the rabbits) eat some fruits (just some od them).

I would really like to learn grammar and sentence structure. I know a little but I mainly sign English word for word.
I am wondering when… *The person you are talking about is not present* Say your in a conversation and your talking about “him” or “her”, do you specify in the conversation, “girl” before you point on the side of you or “boy” to be specific in who you are talking about? Thx
Hey everyone I hope everyone is doing well! Do y'all have any tips because for some reason it's hard for me to remember and to use. Do anyone else feel the same way? Thx asl fam!!😊😊
Does anyone know what the nongendered sign for partner / lover / boyfriend / girlfriend is? I've heard the middle of the face is used for nonbinary people sometimes (rather than the forehead for male signs and the chin for female signs) but I don't know the specific hand motion. Thanks!
Hello, I'm so excited to learn asl. I have been using this app for a short while, and I noticed something that I find confusing. There are two sentences you learn in this app, one of them is a video for you to translate, and the other is were you have to put the the signs together to make a sentences. So- the video is saying " my father likes meat. " And the other part- is were you have to put the signs together to say: " my brother likes bacon. " This part is supposed to be signed " Bacon,‐my brother likes " Bacon it the topic, so it's signed first. Okay... but then I watch the video. I understand all the signs, but I notice the woman signs " My Father " first.. So what makes these two different? Why is the Father the main topic sign, but not the brother I hope this make sense, sorry this was long. I'm just struggling with grammar and structure. I think I have a hard time knowing g if the person should be signed first or the verb
