In American Sign Language (ASL), "how are you" is shown with a mix of signs. To sign "how," put both hands together with bent fingers. Palms face down, then twist them a bit. For "you," just point at the person. This phrase is often used as a greeting. It also asks about someone's well-being. Facial expressions are important in ASL. When signing "how are you," a friendly face shows real interest. ASL is a rich, visual language. It's used mainly by the Deaf community in the U.S. and parts of Canada. Knowing its cultural details is key for good communication.
