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

In ASL, "cute" is signed by making a "5" handshape, touching your index finger to your chin, then twisting your hand outward while closing it into an "A" handshape. The sign means something is sweet or pretty. When you make this sign, it looks like you're gently pinching someone's cheek, just like many people do with babies. This simple gesture is perfect for everyday talks and can describe anything from puppies to nice outfits. When signing "cute," people usually smile or make a warm face to show they like what they're talking about.
