=============================
Vocabulary reviewed or taught in this lesson:
SET-UP: version 1: establish, to found, configure, to institute
SET-UP: version 2: to form from the ground up, to erect
BUSINESS: version 1 version 2
TRUE, real, indeed, actual, sure
There is a special sign called TRUE-BUSINESS, (or TRUE-BIZ)
“TRUE-BIZ” is signed as TRUE WORK using a one movement version of WORK.
“TRUE-BUSINESS”means: authentic, indeed, actual, not kidding, legitimate, bona fide
The sign WORK can mean business but only with a lot of context.
An ASL teacher might show you an inflected version of BUSY!
In real life though BUSY also has non-inflected versions that look like a version of BUSINESS.
Example: TOMORROW IX-“I” NOT BUSY, IX-“you” CAN COME-here
Thus context is important!
BUSY: 1: spelled, 2: inflected, 3: non-inflected
Start a business version 1: ERECT BUSINESS
Start a business version 2: ESTABLISH BUSINESS
Start a business version 3: START NEW BUSINESS
Adding the PERSON sign to “set up a business” creates the meaning of entrepreneur.
Adding the PERSON sign to SKI creates the meaning of skier.
Ask me the following question...
“Have you ever skied?”
YOU SKI BEFORE YOU?
*1. YOU SET-UP-[erect] BUSINESS PAST YOU?
Review, ask me ...
Have you ever skied?
Have you ever started a business?
Do you recall some of the signs for SAVE as in retain or store up?
How can we sign the concept of:
“What if?”
SUPPOSE =
“What if?”
The sign SUPPOSE may have evolved from the sign for IDEA = imagine
MONEY (general sign)
BUY
purchase
Something special about the BUY sign is it can be inflected to mean SHOPPING (buy buy version).
PAY
Something special about the PAY sign is it is directional - for example ...
PAY-me
Pay version 2: SPEND
Something neat about the spend sign is it can be inflected to mean: pool our money, pitch in financially, contribute to the pot.
FRUGAL, miserly, making do with very little, careful with money, thrifty
