How to sign “Meet” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Meet” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Extend both index fingers upright, keeping your other fingers and thumbs tucked closed.
- Hold the hands out in front of your chest about a foot apart, with your palms facing each other.
- Bring the two hands toward each other until their lower edges meet in the middle.
- Do not let the fingertips touch — the meeting happens at the base of the hands.
- Aim the movement between the two people or spots to show who is meeting whom.
- Keep your eyes on the meeting point and give a slight nod for a friendly greeting.
Practice tip
Two index fingers walk toward each other like two people; for a whole group, switch to the MEETING sign.
