How do you say together in sign language?

There isn't one single sign for "together" in American Sign Language (ASL). The sign used depends on the context. Here are some possibilities:

1. "With" or "along with" (together in a general sense): The sign for "with" is a simple "W" shape with your dominant hand moving across your non-dominant hand.

2. "Together" in the sense of "united": You would use the sign for "united" which involves putting your hands together in a fist and then pulling them apart.

3. "Together" in the sense of "at the same time": You would use the sign for "same time" which involves touching your dominant hand to your non-dominant hand, then pointing forward with your dominant hand.

4. "Together" as part of a phrase: Depending on the phrase, you might use a different sign or combination of signs to convey the meaning of "together."

Example:

* "We are going to the store together." (You would sign "we" "go" "store" and then use the "with" sign.)

It's important to note that sign language is complex and nuanced. The best way to learn the correct sign for "together" is to study ASL from a qualified instructor.
