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

ASL signers make the "finish" sign by sweeping both hands outward and down with palms facing down. You can make the movement stronger to show more emphasis in your signing. The sign shows that something is done or over, and people use it to talk about things that happened in the past, just like clearing something off a table would show it's gone. Making this sign is easy and natural. ASL users add this sign to other signs all the time to make phrases about completing different activities, like eating or working. Sometimes people just use one hand to sign it when they're being casual.
