How to sign “Sure” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Sure” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Press the tip of your dominant index finger lightly against your lips.
- Hold the hand with the palm facing your non-dominant side, left if you are right-handed.
- Push the finger straight forward several inches in one quick, firm motion.
- Keep the finger stiff and the movement short and decisive, like tapping the air.
- Pair the motion with a confident nod and steady, direct eye contact.
Practice tip
Think of shooting the word forward from your lips — one sharp push says you are sure.
