Form a loose '5' handshape with your dominant hand, palm facing down in front of your chest. Rock your hand side to side at the wrist a few times. Be sure to pair this motion with a facial expression like a slight grimace, tilted head, or pursed lips to emphasize the feeling of uncertainty or being 'so-so'.
Sign 'I', then use the wobbling hand motion for 'kinda', followed by 'tired'. Make sure your facial expression matches the feeling of being slightly fatigued.
Point to the person for 'you', sign 'kinda' with the rocking hand motion, and then sign 'hungry'. Remember to keep your eyebrows raised since this is a yes/no question.
Sign 'movie', then use the 'kinda' sign with a hesitant facial expression, and finally sign 'good'. The facial expression shows that it wasn't great, just okay.

Yes! The sign for 'kinda' is the exact same sign used for 'so-so,' 'sort of,' or 'more or less.' It conveys a general sense of being in the middle or feeling uncertain about something.
No, 'kinda' is a one-handed sign. You should use your dominant hand to perform the rocking motion in front of your chest.
A gentle, relaxed rocking motion is best. Doing it too fast might look frantic or nervous, while a couple of smooth tilts back and forth perfectly convey the casual nature of the word.
