How to Say "Thank You" in Sign Language
In American Sign Language (ASL), the sign for "thank you" is simple and elegant:
- Place the fingertips of one hand near your chin or lips.
- Move your hand forward and slightly away from your face, as if you are blowing a kiss.
- Keep your palm facing up or outward.
This gesture is a polite way to express gratitude and is widely recognized in ASL.
