How to Sign "Milk"
“Milk” is signed by alternating a squeeze motion with your dominant hand:
- Form your dominant hand into a loose fist.
- Squeeze the fist open and closed two or three times quickly, like milking a cow.
Tips
- Think of the squeeze—not forceful, just gentle pumping.
- Perform two to three squeezes at comfortable speed.
Common Mistakes
- Squeezing too slowly or too hard—it should be rhythmic.
- Using an open hand instead of a fist—handshape matters.
Think: “Pump the fist—milk.”
