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

In American Sign Language (ASL), "new" is shown with a special hand gesture. You start with your non-dominant hand open, palm up, in front of you. Then, take your dominant hand and place it above the other hand. Move it in a small arc, like scooping something up. This shows the idea of something new appearing. The sign is simple and used often. It's important for beginners to learn. It helps in everyday communication. The gesture shows how ASL uses visual movements.
