What is the letter y in sign language?

The letter "Y" in American Sign Language (ASL) is signed by:

* Starting with your dominant hand in a "Y" handshape (thumb extended, index and middle finger extended and touching, ring and pinky fingers closed).

* Bringing your hand down from your forehead to your chin.

Think of it like tracing the letter "Y" starting at your forehead and ending at your chin.

Keep in mind that sign language variations exist. If you are learning ASL, it's important to learn from a qualified instructor.
