How to sign “Fine” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Fine” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Open your dominant hand into a flat five handshape, spreading all five fingers wide.
- Touch the tip of your thumb to the center of your chest, just below your collarbone.
- Slide the hand a few inches outward and away from your chest, leading with the thumb.
- Keep the palm angled slightly toward yourself as the hand glides forward off the chest.
- Smile softly or keep a relaxed face — this sign means being okay, not making a payment.
Practice tip
Never use this for fee, cost, thin, or small — Lifeprint warns the sign only covers feeling okay or something being cool.
