How to sign “Discussion” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Discussion” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Hold your non-dominant hand flat in front of your chest with the palm facing up.
- Bring the side of your dominant index finger down onto the center of that palm.
- Repeat the downward tap at least once more with a quick, brisk motion.
- Keep your face engaged and slightly animated, matching a lively back-and-forth conversation.
Practice tip
Use repeated quick taps — a slow single tap would read as a different sign entirely.

Letter by letter — a handy backup if you forget the sign above. This is not the sign itself.
