Cardinal numbers tell ‘how many’ of something, they show quantity. Ordinal numbers tell the order of how things are set, they show the position or the rank of something.

In common usage, an ordinal number is an adjective which describes the numerical position of an object, e.g., first, second, third, etc. In formal set theory, an ordinal number (sometimes simply called an “ordinal” for short) is one of the numbers in Georg Cantor’s extension of the whole numbers.

Cardinal numbers are the numbers you use for counting: one, two, three…and so on. Ordinal Numbers are used to indicate position: first, second, third, fourth…and so on. In ASL, ordinal numbers 1 through 9 are done similar to cardinal numbers except they use a little twist of the wrist.

The Rule of 9 in American Sign Language (ASL) is a term that describes a rule or pattern in numeral incorporation that a number only up to 9 is incorporated with a regular sign, usually related to time with a few exceptions. This can be done with a number between one and nine, but not beyond 10. That’s the Rule of 9.

Pinch your fingers together on each hand to form a bent ‘O’ hand in ASL, then touch your two hands together, twisting your hands between touches.

The number 20 looks like the letter g with the index and thumb closing together a couple times.

To make the number twenty in sign language, repeatedly “snap” the index finger and thumb together as shown.

I use a fluttering middle finger for numbers 23 and 25. I use a double 2 for number 22. I use an L-1 for 21. I use a G > Closed-G for 20 (like the sign for bird, except done in a “neutral/fingerspelling” location).

The number 25 sign looks like the ASL number ‘5’ hand, only it starts out facing outward. Then bend your middle finger forward twice, as if to show the demarcation of a compound sign: the letter L (which stands for the number ‘2’ in ’20’ onwards), then the number 5 facing outward.

To sign “no,” extend your thumb, index and middle fingers, then quickly snap them together.

In addition, ASL does not use the English words “and,” “or,” “the,” “of,” and “is” to convey information. Instead, these concepts are expressed through facial expressions, role shifting, and pointing.

Then continue your statement as if you had used the “BECAUSE” sign. There are those who will tell you that the versions of the sign BECAUSE listed below are not “ASL” signs and that you should instead use a “rhetorical-WHY,” a “rhetorical-REASON,” or rearrange your sentence.

In American Sign Language, the syntax (word order) is different than English. In general, the word order follows a “Subject” + “Verb” + “Object” sentence structure. You will also see the structure “Time” + “Subject” + “Verb” + “Object”, or “Time” can be at the end of a sentence. English: I went to Ireland a year ago.

The full form of ASL is Assessment of Listening and Speaking and is a subject introduced in the schools falling under the ambit of CBSE. Added in the curriculum of Class IX and Class XI grades, it evaluates the student’s listening, speaking, and communication skills in English.

American Sign Language (ASL) is a complete, natural language that has the same linguistic properties as spoken languages, with grammar that differs from English.
