How to sign “Cities” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Cities” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Make flat hands with both hands, keeping the fingers of each hand together.
- Touch your fingertips together in front of your chest, forming a small rooftop shape.
- Separate your hands slightly while sliding them sideways to a new spot.
- Touch your fingertips together again once the hands reach the new position.
- Angle both palms downward and toward each other, keeping the rooftop shape intact.
- Keep your expression neutral and your shoulders still; the hands paint the skyline.
