Start with both hands flat. Hold your non-dominant hand in front of you with the palm facing up. Place your dominant hand above it with the palm facing down. Move your dominant hand straight down toward your non-dominant hand, showing the space between them getting smaller.
Sign 'less' just before signing 'sugar' to clearly indicate that you want a smaller amount.
To emphasize 'a little less', start with your dominant hand closer to your non-dominant hand and make a very small downward movement.
Sign 'less' followed by 'time' to show the decreasing availability of time for your activity.

While they look similar, 'decrease' often involves a repeated downward motion or moving the hands down in steps, whereas 'less' is typically a single, deliberate downward movement.
Yes, your dominant hand should be the one on top doing the moving, while your non-dominant hand stays still on the bottom as the base.
Absolutely! Making a very small downward movement means 'a little less,' while starting with a larger gap and closing it can mean 'much less.'
