How to sign “Evidences” in ASL

Everyday Life

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

Step by step

  1. Curl your dominant hand into an E handshape, fingers bent with the thumb tucked beneath them.
  2. Hold your non-dominant hand flat in front of your torso, palm facing upward like a tray.
  3. Tap the dominant E hand down onto the non-dominant palm two times, with a short bounce between taps.
  4. Keep the dominant palm facing upward as it lands, so the curled fingers do the tapping.
  5. Hold an assertive, serious expression — this sign presents something as a proven fact.

Practice tip

Plural of “Evidence” — sign the base sign (often repeated) for more than one.

Fingerspell “Evidences”

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