How do you say sing in sign language?

There are two common signs for "sing" in American Sign Language (ASL):

1. The "Singing" Sign:

* Handshape: "S" handshape (index finger and pinky extended, other fingers tucked in)

* Movement: Start with your dominant hand near your chin, and move your hand in a gentle, circular motion away from your face, as if you're singing a high note.

* Location: Near your chin.

2. The "Sing" Sign (More literal):

* Handshape: "5" handshape (all fingers extended)

* Movement: Start with your dominant hand near your mouth, and move your hand back and forth, as if you're singing a song.

* Location: Near your mouth.

Both signs are commonly used, and the choice depends on the context and personal preference.

Important Note: Sign language varies slightly between regions and cultures. It's always a good idea to consult a local sign language instructor for the most accurate and current signs in your area.
