This is how you sign "Mastodon" in Finnish sign language. Kudos to my deaf wife @mustikkasoppa ❤️

@reflex@retrogaming.social avatar

@rolle @mustikkasoppa Thanks for this. Although I misread "deaf" as "dead" and re-read it like four times before I understood. I was about to offer condolences!

@mustikkasoppa @rolle I'm just thankful you are alive at this point!

@reflex Awww omg, shouldn't laugh... :blob_smile_sweat: @mustikkasoppa

@rolle @mustikkasoppa I know it shouldn't have but it did crack me up when I realized just how badly I need to get computer glasses at this point...

DiamondGlitter,

@mustikkasoppa @reflex @rolle can you imagine if you actually said "dead wife?," Like is that a gentle way of saying they passed away?" 🤔🤣

@reflex@retrogaming.social avatar

@DiamondGlitter @mustikkasoppa @rolle No kidding! I was trying to figure out if there some some form of European etiquette about the deceased I hadn't run into yet!

focussed0,

@rolle @mustikkasoppa Please thank your beautiful wife for these two videos. The little smile at the end of each gesture has brightened what has been a difficult day.

So happy with the alt-text because without it I thought she was imitating a boxer instead of stroking imaginary tusks. Just proof that alt-text is also valuable for those with functional eyes (not sure if this is the correct way to say it?)

Thanks!

@rolle@mementomori.social avatar

@DevWouter Glad you found it helpful! It was surprisingly hard do describe it so that one would understand what it is all about. Used the word "fangs" but I guess you get the point it's the tusks. :blob_smile_sweat: @mustikkasoppa

@rolle @mustikkasoppa

Didn’t even notice the use of “fangs” 🤭

@DevWouter I had to change it now and notify hundreds of users :blob_smile_sweat: @mustikkasoppa

@deborahh@mstdn.ca avatar

@rolle @DevWouter @mustikkasoppa if I'd ⭐d it before you edited, I would have been notified that you edited it, because I have set notify=on for edited toots. Just fyi :-)

@deborahh Yes, Im aware. :blob_smile_sweat: @DevWouter @mustikkasoppa

they 👇 would immediately understand (mammuts from the rouffignac cave, dordogne, france).

evilgardengnome,

@rolle
That is so cool. The movement of the hands into the fists is really visually pleasing.

@mustikkasoppa @gardenvarietylinguist

orthoheterodox1,

@rolle @mustikkasoppa It makes perfect sense!

pfannkuchen,

@rolle @mustikkasoppa why do I hear mastodon whenn she does it ??

rolle,
@rolle@mementomori.social avatar

@pfannkuchen Because she's mouthing it! Mouthing is a very important part of the language. @mustikkasoppa

    @energisch_ The sign is different in every language, the Finnish version might not be the one used in the rest of the world.

    Here's "norsu", elephant in Finnish . In American Sign Language the hand is the trunk in my understanding as Finnish people "draw the trunk".

    Here's the ASL equivalent: https://www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-signs/e/elephant.htm

    @mustikkasoppa

    @arkd@mastodon.design avatar

    @rolle @energisch_ @mustikkasoppa it's very similar to Polish sign language (currently learning ), I guess it's one of those "primal" signs that would look similar.

    There's a good website that shows different signs in different languages - https://www.spreadthesign.com/

    Shadow,

    @rolle @energisch_ @mustikkasoppa Yep, the elephant sign is also signed that way in ASL but with a E handshape. Loved this.
