Common phrases in ASL
How to sign the phrases people ask about most, sign by sign, and where fingerspelling comes into each. Names, above all, are fingerspelled, so introductions are where the alphabet gets used most.
- Hello HELLO
- Thank you THANK-YOU
- Please PLEASE
- Sorry SORRY
- I love you I-LOVE-YOU
- My name is… MY NAME
- What's your name? YOUR NAME WHAT
- Nice to meet you NICE MEET YOU
ASL a Day teaches and checks the fingerspelling alphabet. For signs, learn from Deaf teachers and signers; these pages describe the common form of each.
