In American Sign Language (ASL), the word "help" is shown with a special hand gesture. To sign "help," make a fist with your main hand. Keep your thumb pointing up. Place this fist on the open palm of your other hand. Move both hands upward together. This gesture can show who is being helped. It can be directed towards yourself or someone else. The sign for "help" is flexible. It can be used in many situations. You can offer help or ask for it. ASL values clarity and context. Facial expressions and body language often go with the sign. They show how urgent or serious the help is. Understanding these details is key for good communication in ASL.
