How to sign “Huge” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Huge” 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 hooked claws: curl your index fingers like hooks and keep your thumbs extended outward.
- Hold both hands in front of your chest with the palms facing each other and the fingertips close together.
- Pull your hands apart in a wide, forceful motion, spreading your arms broadly to show great size.
- Open your mouth into a "cha" shape and widen your eyes to intensify the meaning.
Practice tip
"Huge" is the BIG/LARGE sign made bigger and bolder — the "cha" mouth shape turns "big" into "huge".
