How to Sign "Cousin" in American Sign Language (ASL)

In ASL, "cousin" is signed by making a "C" handshape and moving it from your chin outward. The sign mixes the letter "C" with a movement that looks like the sign for "family," making it easy to remember and use in everyday conversations. You can say if it's a boy or girl cousin by adding "male" or "female" after the main sign. The sign is used a lot when people talk about their families. Most ASL users everywhere do this sign the same way.
