How to sign “Transfers” in ASL

Everyday Life

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

Step by step

  1. Shape your dominant hand into a hooked two, with the index and middle fingers bent like claws.
  2. Start the hand off to one side of your body at about chest height.
  3. Swing the hand across to the other side in a smooth downward arc.
  4. Keep the palm angled down toward the floor through the whole arc.
  5. Finish with one confident sweep; a single trip from side to side.
