How to sign “Advice” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Advice” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Hold your non-dominant hand out in front of you, flat and open with the palm facing down.
- Rest the fingertips of your dominant hand on the back of that hand, starting in a flat O handshape.
- Slide the dominant hand outward across the back of the base hand while opening it into a spread five handshape.
- Repeat the short outward slide a second time — the noun form uses two quick movements.
- Keep both palms facing down the whole time, as if laying opinions out on a table for someone.
Practice tip
The verb advise uses one long movement; the noun advice repeats it twice, short and quick.
