"Can deaf people think?"
Me: Can the people who asked that question think?
B Simms I think it was in terms of if they think with a voice
Literally. Beat me to it... how are these the top Googled questions? 🤷♂️
Kyle Emerson I agree. I think it was more asking if they have a voice in their head. Which is something I’ve wondered
@@kyleemerson831 You're probably right, though I initially took it the way Mixxie and Lia did.
It depends on the person and how much hearing they have. I have an internal voice because I can hear people's voices (though I can't understand them), and I speak English as well as ASL. Someone who's more significantly deaf than I am won't necessarily give the same answer. Like with a lot of the answers to the questions discussed here, it varies depending on whom you're talking to.
The scientific community has found that the answer to this very mind blogging question is
No.
"Do deaf people think?"
Lord have mercy, they're deaf not brainless!!!
exactly omg haha 😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah 🤣
"who was the one that searched this?!" 😂🤦♀️
😂😂😂🤣
I know. What idiot thought that that was a good question?
I can't stop replaying 3:50. The way the eeeeeeeeeeee on the screen stretches, his facial expression, the way he stretches his hands to represent it going on annoyingly, and the audio accompaniment demonstrating the sound. It's perfect. It's like understanding how annoying a sound is in four languages.
ikr? I also love the fact that both his hands are signing the letter "E" too, making a unique onomatopoetic word! That's so cool that signing can do that!
Facts bro! They're being so passionate
@@sdsign4229 omg i didnt even notice that the sign is also e
@@percyweasley9534 it was my favourite part as a asl beginner I saw the e shape with his hand and got excited I realized that 😭
As someone who is half deaf and hears that sound at least 5 times a week, I had to skip it because hearing it triggered the sound in my deaf ear. In my younger years it was tolerable, but now it hurts. :(
As a non-deaf with slight spectrum disorder who doesn't understand nuance in communication, I really appreciate how extreme the facial gestures of deaf people can be. It helps me to read their emotions.
I’m deaf and aware autistic people use sign language but never realised this before thanks for sharing your experience.
Mute people can also use it it’s also good for babies as they pick up sign before speech
*"Deaf people can do everything except hear"*
Perfect end of the year
Aamir Ali honestly that’s the best response to that question
We know that already those people are probably trolls
Aamir Ali that Rhymed
Aamir Ali exactly
The likes were 666 sorry
I love how Lia responded to the 1st question with
"Deaf people can do EVERYTHING. Except hear. I AM NOT JUST MY EAR."
You go girl!
Roma Alexie Espeleta well they CAN speak just not that much so like half
@@ashhhyyyy hii I am aware of that, that is why I put an emphasis on the message she conveyed 😊
She looks good btw
she looks so lesbian my gaydar is tingling hard,
@@xxX-fj7uo wtf lmao
I love how deaf people are so much more expressive in their looks when they are talking. I could just watch Lia talk for hours and not get bored, in a not creepy way, of course.
yep, facial expressions are everything in sign language
I’m hard of hearing and was never taught how to sign. I actually realized a few years ago that my inner voice is just like reading subtitles. I think in written English as strange as that seems, lol.
@Meg I was kind of expecting them to say they think in written language. It’s very interesting that different people think differently!
Wait same! Like closed captioning! I'm deaf and went deaf very recently but even when i was hearing I thought in written English. Luckily when i went deaf i already knew ASL though
“Can deaf people think?”
....
“That’s the most commonly asked question”
Wtf
I've never thought about that!
I was shook
I was like "wtf" too at the beginning, but if you think about it it does make a lot of sense. When we think, thoughts appear in our head as voice and speech. Babies don't know speech, so they think in pictures. The concept that a person who doesn't know how voice is even supposed to sound like, who doesn't know what sound actually is, can think in sentences, in real voice inside their head - it's an interesting thing.
I know thats fucked up, like wtf theyre people.
Im pretty sure they mean if they hear when they think
Kinks _ well not it does make sense. When we think there’s that little voice in our head. Without sound how do they hear that little voice. It’s the same little voice inside your head that’s reading this. Well if your not reading this out loud that is
"Can Deaf People Hear?"
(Bruh in Sign Language)
With hearing aid
I know like why do you think they are called deaf people if they can hear
@@rahilasaeed2938 no there are different kinds of deafness. Some deaf people can hear certain sounds and noises. Maybe that's what people googled can deaf people hear anything at all? Yes some people are more deaf than others. It depends. But some deaf people CAN hear some sounds
I think its 🤚(but the thumb is folded) 🤞✌️(closed & a bit tilted) 👉 (but 2 fingers)
Coclear implants
1:26 that little cute laugh is so beautiful
As a deaf person myself, despite being deaf since birth I still don’t always appreciate how varied the hearing situation is for different deaf people. But it’s so diverse with many who may say they find things to be different. Also, every country seems to have their own sign language. USL (US) and BSL (British) are very different.
Some deaf people were born hearing and lost their hearing so they are better at speaking because they were born hearing in a hearing world
“Can deaf people think?”
Deaf: hm, let me think about that
It prob meant do deaf people think in a voice or is it silent with sign language
Lol
Aestheticz国民 I watched a video, they say they think in sign language 🤟, but sometimes when they dream they can hear talking
✊ (yes)
Nope.
Their facial expressions are stronger than non deaf people.
Dekross YESSS AND IT SO MESMERISING and amazing 😍💓💓😁😁😁😁
Dekross Yes, that's a big part of sign language
Well since they can't normally speak, or hear themselves speak, not only does sign language and body language play an important part, but obviously, so does facial expressions! Kinda like tone of voice. So being very expressive and kinda exaggerating helps emphasize on what they're saying. Sign language comes in different languages, so Asl is American sign language, there's British sign language, Irish sign language, and more. So it's not all the same.
I think they have to be
Yeah well because maybe they rely on it. Just saying
Omg this was sooooooooo refreshing not hearing a bunch of words that come out of people mouths... Learning sign language to beat the language barrier. People use words so loosely now.. I felt every passionate moment they were speaking. Even physical felt a vibration. Ugh just loved this video 💖
hi don't use God's name in vain
@@mariamendoza8934 Hi stop bothering people on the internet about your imaginary friend :)
@@mariamendoza8934 Stop judging others, that's also a part of that religion you seem to follow.
The fact that "Do deaf people think?" was the top search is proof that there is massive percentage of people who don't think.
Agreed
I think the question is actually "how do they think" because they think in a different way that's hard do understand for people who aren't deaf
I feel like maybe what people were trying to search was if they had an inner voice
@@elfamosoabraham5880 yes this
Thinking to hearing people is not usually visual. It's almost entirely sound. So when someone isn't woke they might not know how to actually ask that question in a different way.
imagine being as cool as mixxie. THEIR NAME IS MIXXIE.
not expecting to find a haseul icon here lol
@@DEEJAYNH10 i mean... all hail god haseul am i right
@Rahmanullah Sudarmin she is from the korean girl group loona! she is their leader, but she is currently taking a break from activities
Ikr?? The letter X is so cool... (No wonder Xgaster is a good parent, look at me go, making references)
stan haseul and loona
it's funny how some hearing people think that deaf people can't talk. when i was in junior high, i have a deaf classmate who's so loud. he's funny and is very energetic. sometimes he laughs in the middle of a class discussion, lmao. and we would just laugh it off. but he's not often staying in our classroom cause he hangs out with the other deaf students. he's very talkative and funny that we would often choose to chat with him than actually listening to the teachers lol. he's just such a funny person. we would often joke around and he would say f*ck off or f*ck you as "ma yo!" and we would just laugh with him.
i hope everyone learns that deaf people are the same as everyone. they chat during class discussions. they laugh, very loudly that is. cause they couldn't hear themselves and wouldn't know if they're being too loud. they joke around too. they're very loving and caring. unlike some hearing people
Thank you
Thank you Mixxie and Lia for doing this video! You both have such kind spirits.

Yes

2k Subs Before 2020 Challenge you failed the challenge u only have 800 subs
I think the first question about deaf people being able to think was actually trying to ask “ do they have an inner voice like in your head voice “
If they've always been completely deaf and could never hear then having an inner voice would be impossible since they were never exposed to a spoken language or sound in general. Their thinking would be purely visual. The same way someone that was always blind would be incapable of thinking visually and would have their thinking be all auditory.
@@Justin-zk8jq Huh?? So they think in hand signs? Like if a deaf person was to be reading this exact sentence they wouldn't be able to hear it in their heads? They would sign it in their minds?
@@s.a.8548 This is what I think the Google search was actually trying to ask, "Do they think in sign language?"
@@s.a.8548 right. If they have never experienced sound before they couldn't possibly simulate it in their thoughts. They wouldnt need to visualize the whole sentence in order to comprehend it though. Just like we don't need to read word for word in our heads. Human brains work faster than that.
@@Justin-zk8jq I'm so confused but thanks. The brain works in wonderful ways.
i remembered the time i went to a local hospital and fell in a love with a random high school deaf girl. I was 10 and i still remembered her face and expression. Im 22 now
The “did I just hear the phone ring?” Got me 😂😂 I love when people embrace their struggles and figure out a way to make a positive out of it even if it’s just comedy.
"I speak to myself in my own language
But then I'm like...
What do I mean????" 😂😂😂
Me trying to do schoolwork lmao😂
@@umbraexe3069 omg yes😂😂
Weirdly that happens to me to than I try to explain it to myself and like wait i know what i mean then I stop trying to explain it
I do that too, not being deaf. I do think I'm weird tho
Accurate, even if I can hear 😂
Nobody:
Google: Do blind people *breathe?*
As a blind person wearing my glasses I can say we don't breath
@@ramry1011
Hah lol, u epic dude 😂 😂😂
What
Ok I've seen these comments all the time and..
1. If you say nobody then nobody does it so saying somebody does it after saying nobody makes no sense
2. You just want likes, youtube is corrupt like that now.
@@crossbrightt4509 no,saying nobody means that nobody mentions it.
And what's that about wanting likes? Is it not allowed to make a joke nowadays?
Glad to see the deaf community so active and connected, the mute community has been silent for years
*HITS REPORT*
4:51 Aww...... she had to say all that because she saw people who don’t really approach deaf people as much or maybe treat them differently. I really think they are filled with fun!!
And yeah!! She said they also have their own way of enjoying music, being a musician (amateur of course), It is amazing to know they do, but also I’m curious to know in what unique way they can feel the music. 😃
They are just Amazing people!!
They literally chose the two cutest people alive for this video.

Thank you for posting this video. I met and have had encounters with a number of deaf people in my lifetime. I have found them to be some of the most kind, considerate and well mannered people I have ever met.
I once attended a stand-up comedy routine performed by a deaf person. It was during an ASL class. The audience was made up of deaf and hearing people. While the performer signed for those who were deaf, there was a voice coming over the speaker to interpret his signs, for those of us who are just beginning to learn sign language. It was quite the experience. The entire audience was laughing. It didn’t matter if you were deaf or hearing. We all enjoyed it. It was quite a memorable experience and one I’m glad that I had.
Sign language is amazing...so expressive!!! I love how the signing just flows together, much like a very well-written book or crafted story *^^*
My elderly neighbor is deaf and his wife recently died who was also deaf so I'm learning sign to communicate easier with him
We had a sign language club for a trimester at my school and we mainly watched ASLMeredith here on CZcams, I would recommend her (If you're in the US lol) Hope you're able to sign to him soon!
Thats great!
Holly crap that's so AWSOME and SWEET
That’s fantastic!
Bless your soul
I thought that the girl is talkative when she didn't even talk. Wow.
they both seem like very talkative people even if they're deaf lol
She is talking
In her language
Would you say that to a Spanish speaking person or a French? Probably not
ASL is the language of the Deaf community, it is how they communicate. So regardless if she is making noise or not, she is talking
Madeline Tuflija preach
@@madelinetuflija3055 yes I understand, she is communicating with us 😄
@@madelinetuflija3055 no, the definition of talking is "to engage in speech" and the definition of speech is "the expression of or the ability to express thoughts and feelings by articulate sounds." So no, not talking but she is communicating.
As a blind person I find this music video very relaxing
I think what the first question was really asking "do you hear an inner monologue?" or "do you think in language?", which is actually a very good question imo
That was a great conversation. Thank you so much Mixxie and Lia. I didn't know that you can sometimes hear your ears ringing. I feel like this would be a great platform to share with children. Growing up, my friend had a brother who was deaf. His parents bought a family car for the kids to share. It was a standard. He drove it like he was the boss. All the best to both of you. Thank you.
I loved the girl's answer, "I'm not just my ear."
I need that girls @😭

Things I learned in this video:
- Different things about Deaf people.
- icards and subtitles in the upper part of the screen don't mix.
Bo Grisel agreed
Which is hilarious because it's a video about a disability
Yes, that was soo annoying
wayv full screen mate, try it
I think it might have been so the words are near their faces
It's very important to not just get the word translation but also the tone from facial expressions because we can't really 'hear' sign language. A lot is expressed through a face's "non manual markers" which are important in communication, especially in sign language which is visual rather than auditory. So putting the subtitles at the top closer to their faces might be a way of getting us to see their expressions as we read the words.
Brilliantly chosen communicators to answer these questions! I really enjoyed the whole thing, laughing out loud at times, and having some of my own questions answered too. Many thanks. 🙂
This video conviced me to take special education major during my college entrace exam last year. I really love their smiles and how they look so expressive, somehow they make me realize that even with disabilities, you can still enjoy life and be happy. Now I get to meet with deaf community directly and get to know them more. They're surely inspiring!! 💛
My mother was taught to read lips instead of sign language. She does it so well that she can tell when people have accents.
that's amazing!
Oh wow, that's incredible.
I was born deaf and had years of speech therapy after my hearing got fixed, and I can’t really read lips, but I can usually tell when someone has certain kinds of accents and speech impediments from the posture of their tongue/lips
@@summeradan9665 I only get 1 word out of five Trying to lip read A telly show is actually funning.
I can do this too! I've been lipreading all my life. Sometimes I turn the sound and captions off when watching tv and I can lipread whole sentences and pick up on accents.
Lia is married y’all, sorry to burst your bubbles
ye she was wearing a ring on her finger 😂
so people aren’t allowed to say she’s attractive?
Avril Xan Menting not what I’m saying lol
Abigail Russo so what are you saying? what’s wrong with people saying she’s attractive? how does being married change that? people can still compliment her.
that's not what she said. You just can't marry her anymore :)
They both look so wholesome, I want to be friends with them so bad.
I love how expressive they both are, I wish more people would be like that too.
Wow, as an Italian I almost understood the sign language.
Ema Tavox 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
lmao 😂😂😂
For people who dont get it: italians when theyre angry they flap their hands and do weird italian things such as speak as loud and as fast movements as they can while yelling vafanculo
@@MrKrypt I've seen an Italian couple do a hand dance, with the song of 'We No Speak Americano' and became very interested at their fast hand movements so I searched them up. I saw a review about it and acknowledge them more, for example, they're italians and before Italians dance, (sometimes), they do a hand dance first, I don't know if that was correct, but that is how I view it. I was so interested at that fact that until right now, I adore them and their characteristic of doing the previous action. In short of that, Italians are amazing for that
(I'm not an Italian, I don't live in Italy, that is said because some people might think I'm overcomplimenting a country I don't live in)
Porca troia pure io😂
I think a standard sign language should be taught in all schools around the world
Not sure if you know but sign language isn't universal, it varies from country to country. But otherwise, I wholeheartedly agree that at least the basics of the countries sign language should be taught in school!
@@seherling207 They should totally make some kind of universal language that can be draw on your hand and teach it at schools. That way not matter where you are in the world you can talk with anyone even if they are deaf or blind.
@@averywallace6677 language is affected by culture, well its part of it. Some hand gestures can be offensive or does not make sense to a person of another culture. That's why its nearly impossible to have a universal sign language or even a speaking universal language. People try with Esperanto but...not that commom
Absolutely 👍🏻
@@averywallace6677 I want to add something to this! We discussed a bit about sign language interpreting in class this week and apparently an International Sign, short IS, does exist
It's just not a fleshed out language, like there is no fixed grammar and no standard vocabulary and primarly used for simple conversations. It's rather a mixture of signs from a bunch of signs languages from all around the world, mainly western ones.
It heavily relies on your mimic, gesture, and body language. Not everyone knows it though bc most don't have the chance to use it regularly. The non-existant standard vocabulary proves to be a hurdle as well, as it requires knowledge of at least one other expansive sign language, eg ASL. If someone knows ASL they will have an easier time with IS than eg someone who speaks Malaysian Sign Language where signs differ a lot from ASL
I just noticed that deaf can speak like us, with same voice modulations of ours with their facial expressions. So much energy in their actions..Wow..Simply beautiful!
Okay these two are adorable I learned sign language because of two reasons 1. I was a daycare infant teacher and wanted to communicate with the babies better and it was very effective I recommend it for any parent with young children or babies it made life for the babies so much easier
2.I perfected signing for a crush he was so darn cute and the sweetest thing ever I remember sitting by him and he never said a thing no one else was deaf like him so he felt out of place I already knew basic signing and he was elated that someone his age knew something about his way of communicating besides the teachers. We were great friends we went out every weekend to go to the movies or skating or the game arcade. He was awesome so sad he moved he could've been my future husband that I met from high school lol
People like u think you’re so open minded towards disabled individuals but u aren’t. Y’all always describe disabled people as cute and adorable. We aren’t innocent children
The facial expressions they make them seem so much more lively then some of us hearing people.
Well the facial expressions are an important part of sign language as it's how tone is conveyed so naturally, deaf people are much more emotive
I know. It is just so interesting to see how much more expressive they are compared to hearing people.
The way we use tone in our voice, they use facial expressions as their voice tone
Stolen comment.
@@Dekross does it matter? damn y’all r sensitive stfu
Love how animated the girl is. It’s like I can literally hear her speak through her hands.
That’s the point of sign language
@@karimabushaikha9725 And that's the joke
@@karimabushaikha9725 yes, because is how the "talk"
She's probably Italian
which one?
I think it's funny that they added music to this video. Amazing how much we hearing people depend on it just to keep our attention focused.
I had a friend who is deaf and we were in a minor collision with another vehicle, he was the only one to basically remember every detail about the crash. Deaf people notice so much when they are on the road.
ooh nice! Of course I've heard that Deaf people are very vigilant but I've never heard a real-life example, so thanks!
@@abyss6484 yeah in social situations (like the pub or club) or on the road James is very observant. Can always rely on him to remember more details than most but when he's comfortable at home he can miss the obvious sometimes xD but we love him still.
It’s like I can “hear” them talking even though they’re signing.
Yes

Yep. Same😍
MrSeweryn747 shut up idiot. That’s not at all what she was saying Grow up
@@MrSeweryn747 i believe that this video was made to prevent the stigma that deaf people are different or weird. Shes just curious. Negative comments aren't really needed.
trueeee
They are silent but still seem fun to talk to.
I liked when the girl said, "We're not out there to get you, we could be your friend". I cried, honestly. Don't dismiss someone just 'cause they can't hear, they might turn out to be the most wonderful person you will meet.
Nobody:
Google: Can deaf people _feel_
Actually, people search that and it appears there if its asked a lot
Lmfao.
Up
I'm about to googled that right now thanks mate
What the kind of question is that-
Is it weird that I can imagine what their voice is like
no i did that too
Absolutely weird also Absolutely amazing 🥰
Having taken ASL classes with hearing people, the tone I imagine for people when I interpret their sign in my mind (not translate it, but the tone I ascribe it when processing...it’s hard to explain. Their signature unique style I suppose) often matches their speaking voice but not always!!
For mixxie I would think his voice would sound mediocrely deep, but at the same time I would say his voic would sound high as well.
For lia I would say she would sound like those tasty producers like the one who does the narrating.
Me too!
i work at a grocery store and i have 2 regulars that are different levels of hearing impaired. one guy i write with and i can tell he appreciates that i make that effort to communicate with him (i don't know how to sign yet.) he's very nice and i always enjoy when he comes in. another lady has hearing aides but has zero volume control and her aides actually cause a delay in her processing so she yells veeerrry loudly and kind of slurred so she sounds a little "intense." she's labeled a "difficult" customer but i've gotten to know her and her impairments (i could tell when she got her hearing aides upgraded bc she wasn't slurring anymore and i mentioned how excited i was for her and we celebrated a little). idk i always find it so fun and interesting to interact with people who interact with the world differently than i do bc it kind of widens your perspective and perception. plus, they're just normal people who deserve the same treatment as able bodied people! so be nice to everyone!!
I took 4 semesters of ASL, i wouldn’t call myself fluent, proficient enough to have conversations though.
I think everyone should know how to sign it’s so useful in everyday situations. Loud spaces, distances. Plus when I was working in fast food having deaf customers come in and my being able to talk to them without a pen was wonderful. Their demeanor would change instantly see someone’s mood shift to bright and happy because I took time to learn their language
Absolutely!
The girl's facial expressions gimme life. She seems funny and sarcastic as hell

WHOLE ASS MOOD
Girl what
I don’t think that’s a mood
It is not. It adds to ASL to give more meaning of what they are signing.
Aint a mood
People don’t understand the meme world where when we say “IT’S A MOOD”, we mean we do that sometimes. Sometimes I talk to myself in my head and I don’t know what I’m thinking.
Two incredibly beautiful people!!
Thank you for reminding me of why it's important to learn ASL and sharing your experiences beautiful souls 😍😍
(Im recently relearning ASL myself as an adult in mid-twenties for first time since i was a toddler)
nice! I hope it's going well! I've seen lots of Deaf person recommend Bill Vicars for learning ASL, and that's how I started before learning it at school :)
When I was about 7 years old, I participated in 1 or 2 seasons of a pre-Girl Scouts program called Brownie Scouts. The Brownie Scouts had a manual and in that manual was the English alphabet in sign language. I learned it and I never forgot it. I am now 40 years old. I have no hearing impairment and haven't ever had any hearing issues. Since I learned the English alphabet in sign, sometimes I will be walking and I will repetitively sign a couple words that relate to what I am thinking about while I'm walking. It only happens when I'm walking-usually I have to be walking for about 5 mins or more. Its a phrase, or a word - just walking and repetitively signing. I'll just be walking along and then notice I'm doing it. Not much of a point to this post, other than saying it happens to me, a funky little quirk. Communication is a diverse and complicated thing. There are so many benefits to being open to different forms of communication (from any sentient being). (Obviously) people miss out on so much when they exclude or dismiss communication from others outside their usual comfort zone. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks!

@@Hello-nj6pg really, wow I didnt know that
No but think about it, when you’re thinking you have a voice in your head and deaf people don’t have that (unless they lost their hearing after learning to talk maybe) so maybe the question was just wondering about that and was worded badly
I mean what did you just heared in your Head when you read my Comment?
A Voice i guess? How does that work for Deaf people. Oh, and Person over me already said that. Ups.
MIXXIE DUDE!!!! So cool to see you on this! You look awesome
I love how they are more expressive than most of the people that are able to hear. It catches the eye and makes the conversation more interesting.
I agree with the comment that Sign language should be taught in school as a standard language. Deaf exists in every nationality.
Okay but there isn’t a single universal sign language. I do agree we should be taught sign language in school but that doesn’t mean you’ll be able to use it with deaf people in every nationality because it differs a lot and even what we use in USA isn’t the same as what’s used in UK
A lot of charter, private and even some public schools here offer ASL as an option for Language Arts in high school, and it's actually pretty popular at the campuses that offer it (I would have probably taken it if it had been available back when I was in school). I'm glad to see more kids taking advantage of the opportunity, and hopefully that means the upcoming generation will be able to interact more with the deaf community.

My ASL was the highlight of my week back last spring and that previous fall semester. I go to a community college, and my professor was a totally awesome woman. She was a bit on the older side and had multiple deaf siblings, she was also raised in a time that being deaf was thought to be a disease. The number of jobs that open up to you once you get certified is uncanny! Not to mention, the deaf community is soooo sweet! I would have taken ASL over Spanish in a heartbeat 💗
My high school offers ASL as a language you can learn instead of taking Spanish or French. I decided to take it, and I don't regret it :)

But at least people could use sign language in their own country, that is good enough.
why is buzzfeed giving deaf people such old computers though?
marina kasparov honestly I think it’s just a prop
Did you see them read anything off of the computer during this video? lol It's a prop
Kassie May issa joke
And where did they get them from lol
@@CloutTV.dont be disrespectful to my homies
It's Friday 18th June, I'm Brazilian and I'm drunk right now, I searched for "videos to deaf people" and this video shows up. I'm incredibly happy about it. Those two people were so expressive, I'm happy to found out they are so alike even though they cannot listen.
Amazing video....thank you for posting!
Google: Can deaf people laugh?
Actual deaf people: **laughs in sign**
Funny, but untrue
@@kittenmimi5326 Its..... a joke
@@Dishsoap6851 I did say it's I knew it's a joke. After that I'm just trying to state what it actually is . Also... your username. Nvm then

No idiot we luagh in voices. Dude stop disrespect us deaf. Do u wanna become deaf? Exacly... stop it
Went to high school with a deaf girl. Her license plate on her car was INDIIY - stood for I’m not deaf I’m ignoring you. Lol
Littlebit31 lmao 😂 😂 that’s the funniest thing I have read today 😂 😂 😂 this made my day.
😂😂😂
Epic now I know someones license plate
My friend's licence plate: IM DEAF.
Awesome vid!! Thanks for posting! :D Starting my ASL learning this year.
Nothing could bring more happiness than support to them, they are real-life angels, just look at their smiles.
*Deaf People:* _* exists *_
*Memers:* _What Music do you like?_
I think the Naruto Hand signs counts as rap for them
😂😂😂

A lot of us like music, and a fair number of us are musicians. I know a deaf person who plays piano, and I play violin.
They can feel the muic’s vibrations
she's so expressive and seems like a kind-hearted person
Him as well
Don't forget Mixxie!
You Are thirsty
Yeah Alot of deaf people are like that, they show expressiveness through their facial expressions because they cant with their voice usually
He drowns puppies and she shoots kittens
They seem really friendly. I think it'd be very nice to have them around and hang out with them. They're so lovable 😍
"Do deaf ppl think?"
Why would they not think? 😬
The question about whether they have an inner voice is the only legit one worth answering. And the girl´s response was so interesting!
Yes!! It was kinda good question!! An important question
I think all question were good and worth answering
You should check out the "do blind people dream" video lol
Also do "deaf people think in sign language".
@@jonathon9581 About that question it is interesting only for people who never saw anything.
Captions be like: “[Music]”
Gramps deaf people: 💃
@Jacob Harvath what did he do?
😂😂😂😂
*Blind people:*
LOL
Thank you for this!!
Oh my god this just is really incredible. I love your hair and gauges by the way!!!!! I'm at 1 1/4 but like, thats incredible. keep striving and prospering you two gorgeous beings.
The girl was out of this world adorable.
She is cute & funny.
@@RoshanMenon2876 She is so animated and witty.
They both were! It was too much to handle for me 😊
Fuckin ayyy
You could never jam out together in the car. Instant deal breaker.
IS NOBODY GONNA TALK ABOUT HOW CUTE MIXXIE IS? LOOK AT HIM-
ikr?
Ikr
Yeah
Yup.
Tf is wrong with your taste
To deaf people, ads on TV must feel like the stupidest thing ever.
They are so sweet mixxie is like the calm one and friendly one and ayla is the talkative and extrovert one damn i love both of them
Me: Can we get an F in the chat?

I learned ASL in high school and was pretty good at it. One of my best memories signing was surprising this deaf man at the mall. He was trying to raise awareness for the deaf and was handing out ASL alphabet pens and I started signing with him. He was so amazed and thankful a hearing person was signing with him. Only a few tables away a group of girls started mocking us by moving their hands around and trying to mimic us and staring at us. They were really rude making fun of us, but I’ll never forget making his day. Juan, if you’re reading this, thank you for signing slowly so I could keep up and thank you for not saying anything about my slow or incorrect signing.
Such a heart warming story. I like your story. You can be a support to those who are deaf. You know what, my name is Juan too lol but I'm not a Spanish dude
I have a question, what made you pick up ASL because you didn't have to since you were not deaf.
How do you know the girls weren’t just trying to sign along with you? Cause honestly that sounds like something I would do, like, try to help even if I can’t really contribute much of anything.
@@numptymuffin4464 Yeah, or maybe they were trying to mimic some sentences? But who knows tbh
I started to learn ASL bc I also saw a deaf man at the mall and he was handling out the same stuff. I didn’t know how to say thank you but he just seemed so nice and he keeps motivating me today even though he doesn’t know. Where did you meet the guy? Imagine it’s the same one lol
@@melissasanchez5066 I'm pretty sure anyone who's grown up around speaking people will know how to lip read "thank you" and some other common courtesy phrases.(even I can do that, and I'm not deaf or hard of hearing lol. Though this may be an ignorant assumption on my part; so if it is, please excuse me >.
One of my favorite things I think about deaf and mute people is how expressive they are.
I love deaf people's expressions, theyre so lively and understandable
2:28 "Do deaf people think in sign language?" I found their answers to this very interesting.
Oddyssey ur mom gay xdxdcdx
@@birdsplaybs1234 My thoughts are almost exclusively like that. I only have words in my head when I'm planning what to say or write. EDIT: Just to clarify, I am hearing.
@@emilyredbird7497 omg me too! although the reason why I don't think in words most of the time is because I can't speak in my native language that well. I usually think visually (with pictures)
IKR its like I know ASL but I dont think in ASL
I usually think in scenarios more than words.
okay.... mixxie is the cutest person i've ever seen omg
@@rumallya2941 why does it matter?
He is trans! 😊
I don’t care what gender, sexuality, whatever. He’s cute and so is his name
Alois _ He’s a he... he has a CZcams channel and his about days “transgender man”. So he doesn’t go by they/them.
Talaveth That might me true in this case, but nevertheless some (trans) men go by they/them. You don’t *have* to be non-binary or trans to go by they/them :)
Love the first guy he seems like a chill person to hang out with.
They are both absolutely adorable of the most expression filled people I have ever seen on this channel! I absolutely love it!❤
