How to sign “Young” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Young” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Shape both hands into bent B handshapes, with the fingers together and slightly curled.
- Hold the hands in front of your chest with the fingertips pointing upward.
- Brush the fingertips upward on or just in front of your chest.
- Repeat the upward brush once more, for two brushes in total.
- Keep the palms facing your chest and the movement short and quick.
Practice tip
The quick upward brushes suggest fresh, rising youth.
