How to sign “Emailed” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Emailed” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Shape your non-dominant hand into a C, curving your fingers into a loose tunnel.
- Hold the C hand at chest height with its opening facing sideways.
- Extend the index finger of your dominant hand, tucking the other fingers away.
- Thread the index fingertip straight through the tunnel of the C hand in one pass.
- Use a single smooth pass for the verb; repeat the pass for the noun.
