How to Sign "Sit" in American Sign Language (ASL)
In ASL, "sit" is signed by extending both hands with palms facing down, fingers together, and bringing them down in a smooth motion as if sitting on a chair or surface. The sign copies how people sit down. You can change the sign to show different ways of sitting by making the movement faster, slower, or more formal. The basic sign is used all the time when people talk, teach, or tell others what to do.
