To sign 'consider,' form your dominant hand into a '1' handshape with your index finger extended. Point your index finger toward the side of your forehead, just like the sign for 'think.' Then, move your finger in small, continuous circles near your temple to represent the ongoing process of thinking something over.
Start by pointing to yourself for 'I', then use the circular motion of 'consider' while looking thoughtful. Finish by signing 'your' and 'offer'.
Point to your side to indicate 'she', sign 'consider' to show her ongoing thought process, and then sign 'move', 'new', and 'city'.
Begin with the sign for 'please', transition into 'consider' with a gentle, continuous motion, and conclude by signing 'all' and 'options'.

The sign for 'think' typically involves a single, direct tap or movement toward the forehead. 'Consider' uses the exact same handshape and location but incorporates a continuous circular motion to indicate that the thought process is ongoing.
Yes, absolutely! The sign for 'consider' is frequently used to mean 'wonder,' 'mull over,' or 'think about.' Your facial expression and the context of your conversation will help clarify exactly which English concept best translates your sign.
While the exact direction of the circles isn't strictly regulated, most signers naturally make the circles move forward and outward from the forehead. The most important part is keeping the movement smooth and continuous to show an ongoing thought process.
