When do you use LIKE in ASL?
LIKE carries opinion talk: food you like, shows you like, people you like. With its negation it forms the basic approval scale every conversation eventually needs. Preference questions are also classic practice material between students. It is also a gentle way into longer opinions, since agreeing about a shared favorite keeps a new signer talking.
Lesson 49 of the challenge covers it in the likes-and-dislikes unit.
