American Sign Language: "decide"



Do sign "decide" by touching the tip of your index finger to your right forehead.  Then change the handshape into an "F" hand as you move the hand downward. At the same time as you are changing the right index finger into an "F" hand, bring up your left hand into an "F" handshape.  Then when both hands are at approximately lower chest level, drop them both "decisively" down a few inches to a quick stop.


 DECIDE (full version)


animation decide


There is shorter version of the sign for DECIDE. 
You just do the sign starting with "F" hands and bring them down sharply.  This sign can also mean "to determine."
