How to Sign "Please" in ASL

Category: Manners
Handshape: Flat hand

Step-by-step

  1. Place your flat dominant hand on your chest, palm facing in.
  2. Rub your hand in a circular motion over your chest.

Deaf-culture tip

The same circular motion on the chest means 'enjoy' — context and facial expression separate them.
