How to sign “True” in ASL
The BSL sign for “True” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Raise your dominant index finger to your lips, touching the fingertip to them lightly.
- Point the finger slightly sideways so your palm faces your non-dominant side.
- Push your hand forward several inches in one quick, firm motion.
- Keep the finger stiff and the movement short, stopping cleanly at the end.
- Pair the sign with a confident nod and steady eye contact when you want to affirm something.
Practice tip
One production does heavy duty: it also covers sure, indeed, really, very, and you're welcome in context.
