How to sign “Coming” in ASL
BSL and ASL are different languages — this is the American sign. See the BSL sign for “Coming” instead
Step by step
- Point both index fingers forward so the two fingertips aim toward each other.
- Rotate the two index fingers around one another in a small circular motion.
- Draw both hands toward your body in one smooth arcing movement.
- Keep your palms angled inward toward yourself as the hands arrive near your chest.
Practice tip
The same circling motion moves away from you to mean "go" — direction decides coming versus going.
