This is why in my conlangs I prefer noun-descriptor order rather than the English version. It's also a useful thought process while writing, using larger chunks of meaning. There's a place for a kind of montage (random snapshots of a location/person/thing), but generally it's good to have a mental camera moving through the scene. E.g. describing a character's outfit as shoes, pants, shirt, hat, rather than shirt, shoes, pants, hat; the brain doesn't have to jump around as much.

I absolutely LOVE this explanation. I never thought of it this way!! I will use this video to help my interpreters better understand the English->ASL translation!!! Thank you!!

OMG! I can't stop screaming wow lol. This makes so much sense and is so helpful!!

That was an awesome and clear video to bring into the classroom. Thank you for using technology and addressing how ASL works.

Understood. Thank you!

That's an amazing illustration! Now to apply that to all of my sentences 🤔

We miss you Jeremy great video!

Ok, that makes perfect sense. Thank you!

OMG I think I finally get it. Thank you much. I always here go from big details to small ones but that leaves a lot of questions.

OMG. Thank you for this. It makes perfect sense!

thank you

I did not expect that outro

I am an interpretation major and this helped SO MUCH

What a GREAT way to show that concept thank you so much!

I agree with everyone else that this is a really good explanation and makes sense because I've read that the general rule of ASL (or other sign languages) is to start with the most important information first and then get more specific. ~:~

Damn you explained this so well thanks!

This is great! We're learning spatial mapping in class right now. Is there any way you'd be willing to make a video just like this but with a more advanced example? I'm still struggling separating the way my mind thinks in English vs the way it visualizes things in ASL.

1) Any advice on (as a hearing person) how to process ASL faster? I always have a 30-40 second delay when trying to “decode” the signs in my brain. 2) could you make videos about deaf and HoH culture?

That's it?! NOOO!!! :( Great contents, tho!
