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

In ASL, "about" is signed by making the dominant hand into a bent hand shape, palm facing down, and moving it in a small circular motion above the non-dominant flat palm. This sign means "approximately" or "concerning" in everyday talk. When talking about something, you first point to what you're discussing, and then make this sign in a flowing way. The circular motion shows how something goes around a topic or idea. This movement is used a lot in schools and regular conversations, especially when people want to talk about new subjects or numbers that aren't exact. Make sure to keep your hand motion smooth and not too big.
