How to Sign "Green"
“Green” is signed by shaking the “G” handshape near the side of your face:
- Make the “G” handshape with your dominant hand (thumb and index finger extended, palm inward).
- Hold your hand beside your face, just below eye level.
- Shake it gently side to side a few times.
Tips
- “G” shape and shaking suggests freshness or growth associated with green.
- Keep the shake controlled—don’t let it wobble too far.
Common Mistakes
- Using wrong handshape—must be a clear “G.”
- Shaking too vigorously—keep it gentle and rhythmic.
Think: “G‑shape gently shaking, leaves sway in the breeze: green.”
