How to sign “Excuse me” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Excuse me” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Hold your open hand at your chest, fingers together.
- Brush your fingertips upward against your chest twice.
Practice tip
Fingertips brush UP for EXCUSE-ME; a fist circles for SORRY — different signs.
