How do you sign SHARE in American Sign Language?

There isn't a single, universally recognized sign for "share" in American Sign Language (ASL). The sign used can depend on the context and the specific meaning of "share." Here are a few possibilities:

1. Sharing something physically:

* "Give" sign + "To" sign + "Person" sign: This is a common way to sign "share" when you're giving something to someone. You can use the sign for the specific object you are sharing.

2. Sharing information:

* "Tell" sign + "To" sign + "Person" sign: This is used when you're sharing information or a story. You can add the sign for the topic being shared.

3. Sharing an idea or opinion:

* "Think" sign + "Together" sign: This sign implies collaboration and sharing of ideas. You can add a sign for the specific idea being shared.

4. Sharing a space or time:

* "Together" sign + "Space" sign (for space) or "Time" sign (for time): This conveys the idea of occupying the same space or time with someone else.

5. Sharing a resource:

* "Divide" sign + "Equal" sign: This indicates splitting something into equal parts, implying fairness and equal sharing.

It's important to note that ASL is a visual language, and signs can change depending on the context. If you want to learn the most accurate sign for "share," it's best to learn from a qualified ASL instructor. You can also check online ASL dictionaries or videos for different signs.
