How to sign "we" in ASL

How to Sign "We"

“We” is signed by touching your dominant index finger to your chest on the dominant side, then curving it over to touch the opposite side of your chest:

• Use your dominant index finger.
• Touch the right side of your chest (if right-handed), then arc the finger to touch the left side.
• The motion is like drawing a small rainbow across your upper chest.

Tips

• Think of “we” as including both sides of your body — representing multiple people.
• Keep the arc gentle and smooth.

Common Mistakes

• Just pointing without making the arc — the curve motion is essential.
• Using other fingers or handshapes — always use the index finger.

Think: “We” means both sides — you and me together.
