Mama Can You Sign That Again
MOM: The American Sign Language (ASL) sign for "mom"
Also run across: DAD
There are a variety of ways to express the concept of "mother." A good general version of the sign for "mom" or "mother" is made by touching the tip of the thumb of your dominant "open up"-manus (besides called a "5"-paw) to your chin. You lot may see it tapped twice; y'all may see the fingers wiggle; but the most bones form is to but touch the pollex of a five paw to the chin.

You may exist told that certain forms of the sign are more "intimate" than others. For instance it has been claimed that the wiggled-fingers-version indicates a closer relationship. While that may exist true in some cases -- or fifty-fifty often enough to exist considered a "tendency" -- I would hesitate to lump all instances of the wiggled-fingers-version of the sign MOM into a divide category. In that location is enough overlap that you should assume the signer simply means "mom" -- and rely on other clues to decide if the signer had a shut human relationship (or not) to their mother.
As noted to a higher place in that location are several variations of the sign "MOM."
Some people wiggle the fingers while signing MOM.
Some people use a double tap on the chin.
Some people place the tip of the thumb of your correct "A" paw on your mentum then open the "A" hand into a "five" hand.
