How do you say feeling in sign language?

You can't sign "feeling" directly in American Sign Language (ASL).

Instead, you need to sign the specific feeling you're experiencing.

Here's how it works:

1. Sign the feeling: For example, "happy," "sad," "angry," "tired," "scared," etc.

2. Use facial expressions and body language: These are crucial to conveying the intensity and nuance of the feeling.

Examples:

* Happy: Smile broadly, raise your eyebrows, and tilt your head back slightly.

* Sad: Frown, lower your eyebrows, and perhaps have a slight droop in your shoulders.

* Angry: Frown, clench your jaw, and possibly point your finger aggressively.

Remember, signing feelings is about more than just the signs themselves. It's about using your whole body to express the emotion authentically.
