oldest brother, is a fireman. The second born (my other brother)

younger step-sister is a librarian.
Discussion:
Consider the sentence: "YOUR BOSS NAME?"
In English this might be translated as, "What is your boss's name?"
This sentence requires an answer beyond “yes/no.” It requires a “name.”
since it is not a “yes no” question it is therefore a wh question because it
implies the “WH” as in “What” is your bosses name? Even though we don’t sign
the “What” explicitly, it is there in our facial expression. The facial
expression for a "Wh" question is to furrow your eyebrows a bit. (In
thinking of a way to describe the facial grammar for "Wh questions" I would
compare it to what a person looks like when he or she is trying to get a
better look at something. Their head actually moves forward on the neck
about an inch and they squint their eyes a bit.)
The sentence: "YOU LIKE COOK?"
Do you like to cook?
This sentence requires a "yes/no" answer. The concept of "do" is not
"signed" but is expressed via facial expressions as raised eyebrows. The
head tilts forward just a tad.
-----------------------------
Signing notes: The sign "print" can be
used to mean, "print your name." When done with a double movement it
can mean newspaper or "computer printer."
If you are talking about a person who works as a printer you should add the
"agent" sign to print, (PRINT-AGENT).
Cultural note: If two deaf people chatting in the hall and you need
get through--just walk through DON’T hesitate at all. If you slow down
or hesitate it will be more distracting than if you just keep going.
Of course, use common sense, if the passageway is narrow you might need to
slow down just to avoid tripping, but the point is that you don't become a
distraction. You don't need to sign "excuse me." Don't duck.
Just walk through at a steady pace.
