How do you say kiss in asl?

You can't directly sign "kiss" in ASL. It's generally considered inappropriate to sign a gesture that directly mimics the action of kissing.

Instead, you can use one of the following options, depending on the context:

1. Sign "LOVE" and then touch your lips: This is the most common way to express "kiss" in ASL.

2. Sign "KISS" (the English word): You can sign the English word "kiss" if you're talking about the concept of a kiss or need to use the word in a specific context.

3. Sign "MAKE OUT": This sign is used for a more passionate kiss.

4. Sign "HUG" and then touch your lips: This indicates a kiss as part of a hug.

5. Use a phrase like "give a kiss" or "send a kiss": This can be used when you want to express the act of kissing without directly signing it.

It's important to consider the context and the people you're communicating with when choosing how to express "kiss" in ASL.
