How to sign “Choice” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Choice” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Press your dominant thumb against your index fingertip to form a small pinching shape.
- Hold the pinched fingers out in front of your chest, facing an imaginary row of options.
- Close the fingers onto one option and lift the hand upward and toward your chest.
- Angle your palm downward while you draw the selected option inward.
- Finish with a small decisive nod of the head, since choosing is an intentional and confident act.
