How do you say doubt in sign language?

There isn't one single sign for "doubt" in American Sign Language (ASL). The best way to express doubt depends on the context and what you want to convey. Here are some options:

1. "Not Sure" Sign:

* This is a common way to express doubt.

* The sign is made by forming a "Y" shape with your index and middle fingers and moving them back and forth across your chest.

2. "Think" Sign + "Maybe" Sign:

* This combination conveys uncertainty and possibility.

* The "think" sign is made by tapping your temple with your index finger.

* The "maybe" sign is made by moving your hand back and forth with a palm facing forward.

3. "Question Mark" Sign:

* This sign is made by tilting your head to the side and raising your eyebrows.

* It indicates that you are questioning something.

4. "Not Believe" Sign:

* This sign can be used to express strong doubt or disbelief.

* The sign is made by moving your open hand back and forth across your chest, as if shaking your head "no."

5. Using Facial Expressions and Body Language:

* You can also use facial expressions and body language to convey doubt.

* A furrowed brow, raised eyebrows, and a skeptical look can all indicate doubt.

Example:

Let's say you want to express doubt about someone's story. You could sign:

* "Think" + "Maybe" + "Not Believe"

* "Not Sure" + "Question Mark" sign.

Remember: ASL is a visual language, so it's important to pay attention to the facial expressions and body language of the signer, in addition to the signs themselves.
