Today, we’re going to learn how to say “for” in sign language. It can work equally as a conjunction or a preposition based on the sentence.

For example:

“I bought some chocolate for Michael. Wait there for a while.”

“For” is working as a preposition in this example.

Like spoken language, there are many differences in sign language. As per Wikipedia, there are several different sign languages in use around the world.

They differ from one country to another. Sign language can have many diverse regional accents that cause subtle variances in how people use and understand signs, even in nations where the same language is spoken.

With that said, we’ll only discuss British Sign Language or BSL today.

So now, let’s dive into our main topic today.

If you want to learn sign language, be aware that regular practice is essential; otherwise, there’s a chance you’ll eventually forget all of the signs. Last but not least, keep a lovely smile while you are conversing with someone. We are able to connect with others better when we smile.
