To sign 'belong,' form an open, flat handshape with your dominant hand, keeping your fingers together. Hold your hand in front of you with the palm facing forward, and push it slightly forward. In ASL, the concept of belonging is often expressed using possessive pronouns, so this flat-hand motion is directed toward whoever owns the object. If you are talking about a third person, you would direct the push toward the space where you have established them.
Point to the jacket to establish the topic, then push your flat palm forward toward the person you are asking to indicate 'your' or 'yours.'
Point to the phone, then push your flat palm firmly toward the space where you previously established 'him' to clearly show his ownership.
Point to the keys, but instead of pushing your hand forward, bring your flat palm to rest on your chest to show they belong to you.

Yes! If you mean 'belong' as in fitting in, feeling at home, or being part of a community, you would typically use the sign for 'CONNECT' or 'JOIN' rather than this possessive flat-hand sign.
Usually not. In ASL, you don't typically sign a literal translation like 'IT BELONG YOU.' Instead, you simply use the possessive sign, like 'YOUR' or 'THEIRS,' to convey the entire meaning of 'belongs to.'
