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

In American Sign Language (ASL), you show the word "know" by tapping the side of your forehead with your fingertips, usually with a flat hand. This action shows the idea of having knowledge in your head. The cultural background of this sign comes from the visual and spatial nature of ASL. In ASL, concepts are often shown by gestures that relate to their meaning. The sign for "know" is simple and used in many situations. You might see it in schools, casual talks, or when showing you understand something. It's important for beginners to practice how they move and place their hand. This helps make sure their communication is clear and accurate. Like many ASL signs, facial expressions are also important. They help show the full meaning, so it's good to notice the non-manual signals that go with the sign.
