1. The most common way:
* "Happy" Sign: Make a "C" handshape, palm facing you, and move it in a circular motion around your face.
* "Birthday" Sign: Make a "B" handshape, palm facing you, and move it back and forth across your chest.
2. A more literal translation:
* "You" Sign: Point to yourself.
* "Birthday" Sign: Same as above.
* "Happy" Sign: Same as above.
You can sign either one of these ways to wish someone a happy birthday in ASL. The second way, while being a more literal translation, is less common.
Remember, ASL is a visual language, so it's important to pay attention to facial expressions and body language when signing. A big smile and a happy expression will make your birthday wishes even more meaningful!
