How to sign “Couple” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Couple” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Extend the index and middle fingers on both hands.
- Hold the hands side by side at chest height, fingertips toward each other.
- Wiggle the dominant fingers toward the other hand's fingertips in small pulses.
- Angle the palms inward so the fingertips nearly meet.
- Use a neutral or warm expression suited to describing a pair of people.
Practice tip
Two finger-hands pairing up — this sign means a dating or married couple.
