How do you make an X in sign language?

You make the sign for "X" in American Sign Language (ASL) by:

1. Start with your dominant hand in a "5" handshape: Your thumb is extended, and your other fingers are curled into your palm.

2. Move your hand diagonally across your chest: Starting from your shoulder, move your hand in a diagonal motion across your chest, ending at your opposite hip.

Important Note: The direction of the diagonal movement (from left to right or right to left) depends on the context of the sentence.

Example:

* "X marks the spot": You would move your hand from your right shoulder to your left hip.

* "They crossed out the word": You would move your hand from your left shoulder to your right hip.
