How do you sign contrite in language?

You can't "sign" contrite in language because it's a word, not a sign.

If you're asking about sign language, you'd need to specify which language you're interested in.

For example, in American Sign Language (ASL), you might express the concept of contrite through a combination of signs:

* "Regret" sign: This sign involves a handshape like a "C" with the thumb extended and tapping the chest twice.

* "Sorry" sign: This sign is made with a palm-up handshape, moving from the chest forward.

* "Sad" sign: This sign involves a handshape like a "Y" with the index finger pointing towards the cheek.

These signs, along with facial expressions and body language, can convey the feeling of being contrite, which means feeling remorseful or sorry for something you did wrong.

Remember, signing is not just about translating words, but also about conveying the meaning and emotion behind them.
