How to sign “Decision” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Decision” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Touch the tip of your dominant index finger to your right temple to begin.
- Slide your dominant hand downward while changing the index finger into an "F" handshape.
- Raise your non-dominant hand into a matching "F" handshape beside the moving hand.
- When both hands reach lower-chest level, drop them sharply downward a few inches and stop dead.
Practice tip
A shorter version starts directly in F hands and drops once — it also means "determine".
