To sign "good to see you," start by signing "good": place the fingers of your flat dominant hand near your chin and move it forward. Next, sign "see" by forming a "V" handshape with your dominant hand, bringing your index and middle fingers near your eyes, and moving them forward. Finally, sign "you" by pointing your index finger directly at the person you are greeting. Keep a warm, friendly facial expression throughout the entire phrase.
Start by signing a friendly "hello," then smoothly follow up with the sequence for "good to see you." Make sure to add an enthusiastic smile and bright eyes to match the genuine excitement of reuniting with a friend.
Begin with the warm greeting "good to see you," then seamlessly transition into the sign for "how are you." Remember to furrow your eyebrows slightly during the second half to clearly indicate that you are asking a question.
You can use this phrase as a warm compliment when arriving at an event. Sign "good to see you" smoothly, ensuring each of the three distinct signs—"good," "see," and "you"—flows naturally into the next without feeling robotic.

No, you do not need to sign the English word "to." ASL has its own distinct grammar and syntax that is much more concise than English. Simply signing "good," "see," and "you" in sequence perfectly conveys the entire meaning of the phrase.
While "good" is often taught using two hands—where the dominant hand moves from the chin to land on the non-dominant palm—it is completely acceptable to use the one-handed version shown here. The one-handed variation is very common in casual, flowing conversational phrases.
Always maintain eye contact with the person you are greeting! In ASL, eye contact is essential for polite and effective communication. Trust your muscle memory; your hands will naturally move into the correct positions within your peripheral vision while you look at them.
