In American Sign Language (ASL), the word "more" is shown by bringing your fingertips together on both hands. You form two flat "O" shapes. Then, you tap the fingertips of both hands together a couple of times. This sign is used in many situations. You might use it when asking for more food, more time, or more of anything. The gesture is easy to understand. It's often one of the first signs taught to children. This is because it is simple and practical. Culturally, the sign for "more" is important. It helps in both educational and everyday settings. It aids communication for those who are deaf or hard of hearing. Parents also use it with infants. They teach basic sign language to help kids express needs before they can speak.
