How do you say welcome in sign language?

You can't say "welcome" in sign language in the same way you say it verbally. Instead, you use different signs depending on the context:

1. "Welcome to..." (specific location)

* Sign the location first, then use the sign for "welcome".

* The sign for "welcome" is made by bringing your open hand from your chest outward, palm facing forward.

* Example: "Welcome to the party" would be signed by signing "party" first, then "welcome".

2. "Welcome" as a greeting

* "Hello/Hi" - This is the most common way to greet someone and can be interpreted as "welcome".

* "Nice to meet you" - You can also use the sign for "nice to meet you" as a warm greeting.

3. "Welcome" as an expression of approval

* "Good" - You can use the sign for "good" to indicate approval or welcome something, such as a new idea or a guest arriving.

Remember: Sign language varies across different regions and languages. It's important to learn the specific signs used in your local community.
