How to sign “Connects” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Connects” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Shape both hands into loose open-F handshapes, each thumb tip resting against its index fingertip.
- Hold your hands apart in the signing space in front of your chest.
- Bring both hands toward each other and hook the fingers together into interlocking F shapes.
- Angle your palms toward each other so the hooked fingers cross like two chain links.
- End with a brief firm hold, adding a small nod when used as a statement.
