Classifiers
Classifier is a sign that represents a class or group of objects or subjects. It represents a group of referents. It can function or act as a "pronoun" which is referred to an object or a subject. E.g. the horizontal 3-handshape can represent a group of vehicles such as car, truck, bicycle, motorcycle, submarine, etc. Classifier can be an adjective that describes a size, shape, depth, texture, etc. of a person or an object. It can be used with a verb.
Classifier is one of the heaviest and the most important usages in sign language, especially in storytelling and poetry. Learning and understanding classifiers can significantly improve your expressive skills. When using classifiers, you may find them fun to learn and play in this language.
