How to sign “Together” in ASL

Everyday Life

The BSL sign for “Together” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.

Step by step

  1. Form both hands into A fists, with your thumbs tucked up along the fingers.
  2. Press the two fists together in front of your chest, palms facing each other.
  3. Keeping the fists touching, stir them in a flat horizontal circle, as if mixing a pot.
  4. Make one full, smooth sweep of the circle in a single continuous movement.
  5. Hold your torso relaxed and keep your eyes on your conversation partner.

Practice tip

Start from the WITH sign — two fists pressed together — then stir. The circling motion is what says 'all of us as one.'
