How to sign “Favorite” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Favorite” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Hold your dominant hand open with all five fingers extended and spread slightly.
- Bring the tip of the dominant middle finger up to touch the front of your chin.
- Give the chin one firm, quick jab with the fingertip; do not rub or brush across the skin.
- Angle the palm inward toward your face so the middle finger points straight at the chin.
- Raise your eyebrows slightly and smile a little — the pleased expression marks it as a genuine favorite.
Practice tip
Jab, never brush: a rubbing motion changes the sign into TASTE instead.
