How to sign “Compares” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Compares” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Shape your dominant hand into a slightly curved cup, letting your fingers relax and curve gently.
- Hold the curved hand up in front of your chest in neutral signing space.
- Twist the hand once at the wrist, rotating it through a single smooth turn.
- Let your palm orientation roll with the twist instead of holding it fixed.
- Purse your lips and narrow your eyes slightly, as if studying two things side by side.
