Can I use this sign for carrying a conversation?
No, 'carry' in ASL is typically used for physically transporting objects. For abstract concepts like 'carrying a conversation', you would use signs related to 'chat', 'talk', or 'continue'.
Does the direction of the movement matter?
Yes! 'Carry' can be directional. You can move your hands from left to right, right to left, or forward, depending on where the object is being moved in your story or real life.
How do I show carrying something very heavy?
You can show weight through your facial expressions and body language. Furrow your eyebrows, tense your arm muscles, and make the carrying motion slower and more labored to indicate a heavy load.
