ASL Vocabulary: HOW

Signing Tip: This sign is used in two ways:

1) As a wh-word sign: the dominant hand would repeat the forward movement twice. (see video #1)

2) Asking how someone is: you should only move the dominant hand forward once (see video #2)

Grammar Tip: This is a wh word question which means you should furrow your eyebrows and sign HOW at the end of your question.

Grammar Tip: When asking how someone is, you should always raise your eyebrows (similarly to asking a yes/no question).
