How to sign “Accepts” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Accepts” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Hold both hands loosely open in front of your torso, fingers relaxed and slightly apart.
- Keep both palms angled toward each other as you begin pulling your hands inward.
- Draw both hands back toward your chest in one smooth, welcoming motion.
- Close your fingers into flat O shapes as your hands arrive at your chest, as if gathering something in.
- End with your fingertips near your upper chest and your palms facing your body.
- Pair the motion with an open, willing expression — you are taking the offer in.
