How to sign “Field” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Field” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Shape both hands into flat B handshapes, with the fingers together and extended.
- Hold the non-dominant hand still in front of you, its palm facing your dominant side.
- Face the dominant palm toward the non-dominant hand.
- Move only the dominant hand forward, sliding it off the front of the non-dominant hand.
- Keep the non-dominant hand frozen while the dominant hand moves away.
Practice tip
This sign also means major, discipline, and career; for an open field of land, use the AREA-based sign instead.
