How to sign “Good morning” in ASL

Greetings & Politeness

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

Step by step

  1. Sign GOOD: touch your chin with flat fingertips, then bring your hand down into your other open palm.
  2. Sign MORNING: rest your dominant fingertips in the crook of your other arm (held across your chest), then lift them upward like a sunrise.

Practice tip

Two signs in sequence: GOOD, then MORNING.

Text-based guide researched from established ASL references (Lifeprint, university and public-health materials) and rewritten in original words. Signer-created photos and videos are a planned future upgrade.
