So, someone just signed "Thank You" in ASL. Awesome! Now you want to respond with a polite "You're Welcome." But how do you sign *that*? There are a few ways, and the best one depends on the context.
**The Most Common Way:** The most widely used sign for "You're Welcome" is similar to "Thank You" but with a more relaxed hand movement. Simply bring your flat hand slightly outward from your chin. Think of it as a gentle nod of acknowledgement. This is versatile and works in almost any situation.
**A More Formal Option:** Sometimes, people use a sign that more directly translates to "It was nothing" or "No problem." This involves a slight shake of the head while signing the concept of 'nothing' or 'problem' with handshapes near your forehead.
**Ultimately:** ASL, like any language, has variations. Don't be afraid to observe how native signers respond. Practice these signs, and you'll be responding to "Thank You" like a pro in no time!
