How to sign “Tables” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Tables” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Hold your non-dominant hand flat and horizontal in front of you as the tabletop.
- Make a flat hand with your dominant hand, fingers together, palm facing down.
- Lay the dominant hand on top of the non-dominant hand to show the flat top surface.
- Pat the base hand twice with short downward taps of the dominant hand.
- Keep the base hand steady while the taps sketch out the flat tabletop.
Practice tip
Plural of “Table” — sign the base sign (often repeated) for more than one.
Fingerspell “Tables”
Letter by letter — a handy backup if you forget the sign above. This is not the sign itself.
