How to sign “Agreements” in ASL

Everyday Life

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

Step by step

  1. Touch your forehead with the tip of your dominant index finger, palm facing left.
  2. Bring both index fingers together side by side in the space in front of your chest.
  3. Press the fingertips together briefly with palms facing each other and hold the contact.
  4. Give a small firm nod of the head as you finish, to show mutual understanding.

Practice tip

Plural of “Agreement” — sign the base sign (often repeated) for more than one.

Fingerspell “Agreements”

Letter by letter — a handy backup if you forget the sign above. This is not the sign itself.
