How to sign “Discussions” in ASL

Everyday Life

The BSL sign for “Discussions” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.

Step by step

  1. Hold your non-dominant hand flat in front of your chest with the palm facing up.
  2. Bring the side of your dominant index finger down onto the center of that palm.
  3. Repeat the downward tap at least once more with a quick, brisk motion.
  4. Keep your face engaged and slightly animated, matching a lively back-and-forth conversation.
