How to sign “Worth” in ASL

Everyday Life

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

Step by step

  1. Shape both hands into F handshapes, pressing each thumb against its index fingertip.
  2. Hold both F hands in front of your chest with the fingertips nearly touching.
  3. Tap the two F hands together twice at the fingertips, using small crisp taps.
  4. Turn your palms to face each other so the fingertips meet edge to edge.
  5. Keep a thoughtful, appraising expression, as if weighing the value of something.

Practice tip

This is the tail end of the sign IMPORTANT — Lifeprint glosses it for worth and value; use the COST sign for prices and fees.
