Question by shimmelman0916: HELP!! ASL sentence structure?! I need help with it!!! Question 2 of 2.?
Hi you guys,
I need some help translating these English sentences in ASL format. Does anybody know how to help me with that? I'm going crazy!!
Paragraph in need of sentence translation to ASL structure:
"My pregnant friend went to the hospital. She is now in the supervised section abbreviated ICU. I hope she is okay. Her experience is something I don't want. She had something called limitosis -- a title I don't understand. I think we should go to Australia or Greece after the baby is born. Being with her on an island should be lots of fun and we can both experience scuba diving."
We just learned many of these words, so the paragraph is trying to incorporate them. We have been learning lately that the "why"s and the "you like"s and etc go at the end of the sentence, and also that some sentences are rhetorical: so they are broken into two sentences, the first of which is usally a question which the second answers. I'm sure many of you know that already though! Please- if anybody can help me, I've been staring at this paper for hours. My brain is numb...
And I really don't think I am doing it right. Urrrr...

MY FRIEND PREGNANT US-TWO HOSPITAL GO
NOW SHE IN fs-ICU
I HOPE SHE FINE
SAME EXPERIENCE HER I NOT-WANT
SHE HAS SICK++ NAME fs-LIMITOSIS
TITLE I UNDERSTAND NOT (alternately IGNORANT)
pause / shift body / indicate new train of thought somehow
AFTER BIRTH I THINK US-TWO SHOULD VISIT AUSTRALIA #OR GREECE
US-TWO ON ISLAND WILL-BE MUCH FUN AND CAN TRY SCUBA SAME++
thats how i would -translate- it, better ways to -represent the meanings- are there
if you dont know the sign for something you can always email me
PS : fs- means fingerspell , # indicates a lexicalized sign (meaning originally fingerspelled but became a sign with its own movement or even eliminating letters) , ++ means repetition
