How to sign “See” in ASL
BSL and ASL are different languages — this is the American sign. See the BSL sign for “See” instead
Step by step
- Make a V with your dominant hand, extending your index and middle fingers together.
- Start with the fingertips just below your eyes, pointing forward.
- Move the V-hand straight outward away from your face toward what you see.
- Keep your palm facing inward toward your own face during the movement.
- Aim your eyes in the same direction as the movement to show what you are looking at.
Practice tip
The two fingers are your eyes sending their gaze outward. Do not confuse it with LOOK, which points the palm out.
