How to sign “Minute” in ASL
BSL and ASL are different languages — this is the American sign. See the BSL sign for “Minute” instead
Step by step
- Point your dominant index finger like the minute hand of a clock.
- Hold your non-dominant hand flat and steady in front of you as the clock face.
- Tick the index fingertip forward a short distance across the base palm.
- Drive the ticking from your wrist, keeping the finger itself still.
Practice tip
The same ticking motion can mean a second or a moment — context decides.
