How to Sign "Like"
“Like” is signed by pulling your hand from your chest outward while bringing your thumb and middle finger together:
- Place your dominant hand on your chest, fingers open.
- Move your hand outward while bringing your thumb and middle finger together.
- It should look like you're “pulling a feeling out.”
Tips
- Visualize pulling a thread of connection from your heart.
- Use natural movement — don't snap the fingers shut suddenly.
Common Mistakes
- Confusing it with “same” or “want” — be sure to use the thumb-middle finger pull.
- Starting too far from the chest — always begin at the chest area.
Think: “I like this — it comes from the heart.”
