How to sign "who" in ASL

How to Sign "Who"

“Who” is signed by tapping an “L” handshape twice at your chin with slight facial expression:

  • Form an “L” handshape with your dominant hand (thumb and index extended).
  • Hold it near your chin.
  • Tap the tip of your index finger to your chin twice gently.
  • Raise your eyebrows slightly to indicate questioning.

Tips

  • Use eyebrow raise to show the question tone.
  • Do two distinct taps—don’t roll or slide the finger.

Common Mistakes

  • Using an index finger only shape instead of “L.”
  • Tapping shoulder or cheek—must be chin.

Think: “L at chin, eyebrow up twice—who?”
