How to sign “Perfect” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Perfect” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Form both hands into F handshapes, joining thumb and index finger into a circle on each hand.
- Hold both hands in front of your chest, a few inches apart, with fingertips pointed at each other.
- Move the hands toward each other until the tips of the F handshapes touch lightly.
- Keep the palms angled slightly inward, facing each other, throughout the motion.
- Hold a calm, confident expression — the sign is a straightforward compliment.
Practice tip
There is also a P-handshape version that touches middle fingertips instead — do not mix the two mid-sign.
