How do you say the word impossible in American Sign Language?

The sign for "impossible" in American Sign Language (ASL) is a combination of two signs:

1. "Can't": The sign for "can't" is made by extending your dominant hand with your palm facing you and wiggling your fingers.

2. "Do": The sign for "do" is made by bringing your dominant hand, palm facing down, towards your chest in a circular motion.

To sign "impossible," you combine these two signs:

1. Start with the "can't" sign.

2. Then, quickly transition into the "do" sign while keeping your fingers wiggling.

The movement should be fluid and continuous, emphasizing the inability to "do" something.

Here are some things to note:

* Palm orientation: The palm of your dominant hand should be facing you during the "can't" part of the sign and facing down during the "do" part.

* Finger movement: Keep your fingers wiggling throughout the entire sign.

* Speed: The sign should be executed smoothly and quickly.

Remember that visual learning is crucial for ASL. Watching videos and practicing with a qualified instructor will help you master the correct sign and nuances of its execution.
