How to sign “Chairs” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Chairs” 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 flat in front of you with its palm facing down.
- Raise your dominant hand and extend only the index and middle fingers together.
- Rest the two extended fingers on top of the flat hand, as if sitting on it.
- Tap the fingers down twice with small firm taps — this is the noun CHAIR.
- Point the fingertips straight down onto the hand, keeping the palm angled downward.
- Keep your face neutral; a single tap instead of two changes it to the verb SIT.
