Benny,

I have some or many q’s for you sir. I need some help with my translation. How do I say: to sign something like a contract,a sign (restaurant sign and advertisement sign), signal (traffic signal, car light signal, and physical gesture).

You truly are the best Mandarin teacher in the world. Thank you all your help mr. Benny.
