How do you say are welcome in sign language?

You can't directly translate "you're welcome" into a single sign in American Sign Language (ASL). It's more about the context and the specific situation. Here are a few options:

1. "You're welcome" as a simple acknowledgment:

* "Okay." (This is a common way to acknowledge a thank you.)

* "No problem." (Sign "problem" and shake your head "no.")

* "It's nothing." (Sign "nothing" and wave your hand dismissively.)

2. "You're welcome" expressing gratitude for the opportunity:

* "I'm happy to help." (Sign "happy" and then "help." You can use a gesture of helping someone.)

* "It was my pleasure." (Sign "pleasure" and gesture towards yourself.)

* "Thank you too." (Sign "thank you" twice, once for them and once for yourself.)

3. "You're welcome" as a continuation of a conversation:

* You can sign "I'm glad you liked it" (Sign "glad" and then "like" and point towards them).

* "What else can I help you with?" (Sign "help" and then "what else" while making a gesture of offering assistance).

Remember, the best sign to use will depend on the specific situation and the tone you want to convey.
