How do you say stop in sign language?

There are two common ways to sign "stop" in American Sign Language (ASL):

1. The "Stop" Sign:

* This is the most common and widely recognized sign.

* To sign it: Make a "C" shape with your dominant hand and hold your non-dominant hand flat with palm facing you. Bring the "C" hand down across your palm.

* Visual: Imagine you're making a motion like you're pushing a button to make something stop.

2. The "Enough" Sign:

* This sign is often used when you want to indicate that you've had enough of something.

* To sign it: Hold your dominant hand in a fist with the thumb sticking out and place it on your chest. Then move it away from your chest in a stop motion.

Important Note: The context of the conversation will determine which sign is more appropriate.

Remember that sign language is visual, so it's essential to see the signs demonstrated to fully understand them. There are many resources available online, such as videos and websites, that can help you learn more about ASL.
