In American Sign Language (ASL), the letter "G" is shown with a special handshape. To make the "G," form a fist with your main hand. Extend your index finger and thumb parallel to each other. Keep the other fingers curled into the palm. The palm should face sideways. The index finger points forward, and the thumb points up. This handshape is part of the ASL manual alphabet. It's used for fingerspelling words and names without signs. Fingerspelling is often for proper nouns or technical terms. It's also used when a signer doesn't know a word's sign. The manual alphabet is key for ASL communication. It lets you spell words letter by letter. Learning these handshapes is crucial for ASL beginners. It helps them communicate well in different situations.
