How to sign “Tuesday” in ASL

Time

BSL and ASL are different languages — this is the American sign. See the BSL sign for “Tuesday” instead

Step by step

  1. Make the letter T with your dominant hand, thumb tucked between the index and middle fingers.
  2. Hold the handshape up at chest height with your palm facing forward.
  3. Trace a small clockwise circle with the T handshape, moving from your elbow.

Practice tip

Initial-letter T plus a clockwise circle — same motion as the other weekday signs.

Fingerspell “Tuesday”
