gonna make a thread of sign language false friends i encounter because OH MY GOD THERES JUST SO MANY and some of them are real spicy
Israeli: "which one of those?"
ASL: "are they the same?"
note: yes/no questions and wh questions have two distinct facial expressions/"tones of voice" (and it's the same two in both Israeli and ASL, as far as i can tell) but i can personally say from experience, that when i accidentally use the wrong one, i'm still mostly understood
@wolfgang mood
let's kick this off with an absolute banger:
Israeli: "problem"
ASL: "bitch"
