what is the BSL sign for eternity?

Question

it's for my youth service i'm doing

Answer 1

Eternal, everlasting, forever

Both hands with palms facing the body, close all fingers except the index fingers over the palm index finger tips touching. Then the right hand moves right making clockwise circles. The cheecks of your face should be puffed out.

Often (as with other languages) literal translations do not quite work and annother word would be better, there is no specific word for eternity and I have tried my best to describe it! For more help and advice try the British Deaf Assosciation, if they are of no use to you their links page can be very helpful.

Answer 2

B.S.L., - like MOST physical forms of communication, - is almost IMPOSSIBLE, to describe, using WORDS. Try a SEARCH ENGINE, - GOOGLE, is BRILLIANT, - and just search, for a B.S.L. sign language site, - there are a few, around, if you take the TIME, to SEARCH, for them! I seem to remember, that, - when I was RESEARCHING some sign language, words, - that there was ONE, which used a small VIDEO SCREEN, - and, THAT worked, perfectly! As for your intended Youth Services work, - all, that I can say, is GOOD LUCK!
