How to sign “Days” in ASL
BSL and ASL are different languages — this is the American sign. See the BSL sign for “Days” instead
Step by step
- Extend your non-dominant arm in front of you, bent at the elbow, hand pointing to the side.
- Rest your dominant elbow on the non-dominant hand, with your dominant hand pointing up.
- Lower the dominant hand down and to the side until it rests on your non-dominant forearm near the elbow.
- Keep the non-dominant arm perfectly still — only the top hand travels.
- Hold a neutral, matter-of-fact expression — DAY is a plain time marker.
Practice tip
Plural of “Day” — sign the base sign (often repeated) for more than one.
Fingerspell “Days”
Letter by letter — a handy backup if you forget the sign above. This is not the sign itself.
