How to sign “Womans” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Womans” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Open your dominant hand into a 5, with your thumb sticking out to the side.
- Touch the tip of your thumb to your chin, fingers pointing upward.
- Bring the hand straight down until your thumb-tip rests on the center of your chest.
- Keep your palm angled toward your face through the short downward slide.
- Hold a neutral, respectful expression — this is the everyday adult-female sign.
Practice tip
Plural of “Woman” — sign the base sign (often repeated) for more than one.
