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

The sign for "correct" in ASL uses crossed fingers moving down from the chin. To show the direction "right," you simply point to your right side with one finger. The "correct" sign came from early schools for deaf students in America, where teachers created signs using letter shapes. Pointing right as a direction is just a natural gesture that people developed over time. These two different signs for "right" help ASL users communicate clearly in their daily lives, whether they're giving directions or showing that something is correct.
