COLD: The
American Sign Language (ASL) sign for "cold"
The sign for "cold" means "cold
temperature." It doesn't mean "to have a
head-cold" or to be
sick.
Use your arms to represent shivering.
COLD:
Sample sentence: "Do you like cold pizza?"
To sign "very cold" use more facial expression, hunch your shoulders more,
and move the "shivering of your arms" faster and tighter. WINTER:
very-COLD:
Many people use the sign "COLD" to mean winter. This works well in
context but if there isn't much context I prefer to initialize the sign "winter" by using a "W" as the
handshape.
REFRIGERATOR: GRAB REFRIGERATOR DOOR (depictive sign):
You could sign refrigerator by initializing this sign, but I
recommend you just spell "REF."
Here is a sign for refrigerator that initializes the sign COLD with "R"
handshapes to mean refrigerator:
Remember, I recommend you just spell,
R-E-F.
Some people feel that the initialized form of the sign "refrigerator" is
signed English. I disagree, but do the sign the way your local
instructor wants it just to be safe eh?
You could also initialize the sign for "DOOR" to mean refrigerator.
