me learning asl: how do you say y’all

I’m working towards my ASL Interpreters Certificate in Texas, and so naturally I had the exact same question for my teachers. They way that my teachers (all Deaf) tend to sign “y’all” is with a ‘Y’ handsign facing the signer’s chest, then pulling it around like you’re signing “everybody” or “all you people” but with an ‘L’ hand instead of a general pointing hand.

That’s the technical kind of way. Most of the time though I’ll see people skip the ‘Y’ hand and go straight to just using a loose “L” hand to gesture outwards.

Thank you for blessing me with this knowledge
