General waving:
* Open palm, fingers together: This is the most common way to wave, similar to a regular hand wave. You move your hand back and forth from your wrist.
* Open palm, fingers spread: This is a more casual wave. You move your hand back and forth from your elbow.
Waving goodbye:
* Open palm, fingers together, move hand back and forth from your wrist: This is a common way to wave goodbye. You might also add a slight downward movement to the wave.
* "See you later" sign: This sign is made by opening your hand and bringing it down to your chin, then moving your hand forward, palm facing the person you are waving to.
Waving hello:
* "Hello" sign: This is a common way to wave hello. You make a "C" shape with your dominant hand and touch your forehead, then bring your hand down to your chin.
Other ways to wave:
* Specific sign: Some signs can be used to "wave" to someone, like a sign for a specific person's name or the sign for "friend."
* Facial expressions: ASL is a visual language, so facial expressions play a big role in conveying meaning. Your facial expression and body language will help people understand what kind of wave you're doing.
Remember, ASL is a living language, and there can be variations depending on the region and individual signer. If you're unsure about the best way to wave in a particular situation, it's always a good idea to ask a fluent ASL signer for guidance.
