Love your videos!! im learning a lot!!! for me is not easy to form the sentences...cause i speak my primary language in spanish , but i speak english too and now im learning ASl..so my brain needs to translate to engish FIRSt and then comes the rest..LOL!!! THANK YOU!
Yes. Imagine if someone stated in English: "However, would you believe there is more to it?" [brows raised] The "would you" part of that sentence functions as a yes or no question -- thus mapping to the raised eyebrows. People often misunderstand the nature of rhetorical questions. More often than not they function to create the meaning of "Would you like to know more?" Would you like to know why? Yes or no? Would you like to know where? Yes or no? Would you like to know how? Yes or no? Thus fs-BUT-[brows-raised] functionally could mean, "However, are you ready for the big reveal? Cuz I'm going to tell you..." Sooooooo much depends on context here though so just because a sign or phrase "can" mean something doesn't preclude it from having dozens or more other meanings.

Totally noticed how "Citation" is similar to "Battery" and for some reason having flashbacks to "The Matrix". ASL is so on point~

Thanks again, always learning from these videos :)
Good news! I've got about a dozen in the pipeline.
Awesome, looking forward to them :)
Can the version of "but" with the "one" hand and raised eyebrows be "however..."?
Yes.
Imagine if someone stated in English:
"However, would you believe there is more to it?" [brows raised]
The "would you" part of that sentence functions as a yes or no question -- thus mapping to the raised eyebrows.
People often misunderstand the nature of rhetorical questions. More often than not they function to create the meaning of "Would you like to know more?"
Would you like to know why? Yes or no?
Would you like to know where? Yes or no?
Would you like to know how? Yes or no?
Thus fs-BUT-[brows-raised] functionally could mean, "However, are you ready for the big reveal? Cuz I'm going to tell you..."
