How to sign "today" in ASL
How to Sign "Today"
“Today” combines the signs for **“Now”** and **“Day”**:
- **Now**: Both hands in “Y” shape (thumb + pinky), palms up at shoulder height, drop slightly.
- **Day**: Lay non-dominant arm flat horizontally, dominant arm bent resting vertical then move downwards like sun rising.
Tips
- Keep the flow of Now → Day smooth and connected.
- Use natural speed—don’t rush the transition.
Common Mistakes
- Doing only one part—need both Now and Day together.
- Misusing handshapes or motion—follow standard finger orientation precisely.
Think: “This moment + the sun rises—today.”
