How to Sign "Bathroom"

“Bathroom” is signed using the letter “T” handshape and shaking it side to side, like you're asking where the toilet is:

• Form the letter “T” with your dominant hand (thumb between index and middle fingers).
• Hold it out in front of you at about chest level.
• Shake your wrist side to side two or three times.

Tips

• Think of “T” for toilet — it’s quick and efficient.
• Use a short, clear wrist shake — no big arm movement.

Common Mistakes

• Using other letters like “B” or “R” — it must be a “T”.
• Making the motion too large or too slow.

Think: “T is for Toilet — Bathroom request.”
