How do you say i am done in sign language?

There isn't a single, universally accepted sign for "I am done" in American Sign Language (ASL). Here's why and some options:

ASL is Contextual: Signs often depend on the context of the conversation. "I am done" could mean:

* Finished a task: You could sign "FINISH" and then point to the task.

* No longer interested: "DONE" with a slight shake of the head can imply you're finished with something.

* Tired/Exhausted: The sign for "TIRED" would convey this meaning.

Common Solutions:

* "FINISH" + CONTEXT: Sign "FINISH" and then point to the object or activity you've completed.

* "DONE" + SHAKE: Sign "DONE" and shake your head slightly to emphasize you're finished.

* "I" + "DONE": Sign "I" and then "DONE", making sure to clearly express the subject.

Remember: It's always best to learn ASL from a qualified teacher or resource. They can provide context and ensure your signs are accurate.
