How to sign “Seven” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Seven” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Touch your dominant thumb to your ring finger, pressing them firmly together.
- Extend your other three fingers straight upward while the thumb and ring finger stay joined.
- Hold the hand up in front of your shoulder in the neutral signing space.
- Face your palm outward toward the person you are signing to.
- Hold the handshape perfectly still with a neutral expression — the number itself does the talking.
Practice tip
Numbers 6 through 9 each pin the thumb to a different finger: pinky is six, ring is seven, middle is eight, index is nine.
