How to Sign "Go"

“Go” is signed by pointing with your index fingers and moving them forward:

  • Extend the index finger on both hands (other fingers curled).
  • Hold them slightly forward and away from your body.
  • Move them forward together in a crisp, directional motion.

Tips

  • Motion should be clear and intentional.

Common Mistakes

  • Sliding or waving fingers — keep movement direct.
  • Using bent index finger or wrong orientation.

Think: “Go forward — clear direction.”
