How to sign “Agents” in ASL

Everyday Life

The BSL sign for “Agents” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.

Step by step

  1. Hold both hands in flat B handshapes with your thumbs resting alongside your fingers, not forming P shapes.
  2. Raise both hands to the neutral signing space in front of your chest with your palms facing each other.
  3. Move both hands straight downward a few inches together in one smooth, level motion.
  4. Keep both palms facing inward toward each other and both hands moving evenly as they drop.
  5. Keep your expression neutral and avoid any initialized P handshape when you use this sign alone.
