How to sign "g" in ASL
How to Sign "G"
“G” is represented with a handshape that mimics the letter in ASL fingerspelling:
- Extend your index finger and thumb horizontally (like a pinching motion).
- Keep the other fingers tucked in.
- Palm should face sideways (thumb on top, index pointing forward).
Tips
- Imagine you're showing the width of a small object — that’s the shape!
- Keep your hand still and clearly visible to the viewer.
Common Mistakes
- Rotating the palm up or down — keep it sideways.
- Spreading the index and thumb too far apart — it should look compact.
Think: “Small gap = precise G!”
