To sign 'PO' (often used for Post Office), you simply fingerspell the letters P and O. First, form the letter 'P' by pointing your index finger forward, pointing your middle finger down, and resting your thumb on your middle finger. Then, smoothly transition into the letter 'O' by curving all your fingers to touch the tip of your thumb.
To express this, start by pointing to yourself for 'I', then sign 'need' and 'go'. Finish the sentence by clearly fingerspelling the letters P-O to represent the Post Office. Make sure to keep your hand steady and avoid bouncing as you spell.
Begin by fingerspelling P-O to establish the subject of your sentence. Then, use the sign for 'closed' by bringing both hands together, and finish with the sign for 'today'. This clearly communicates that the Post Office is not currently open for business.
Start by signing 'nearest', then fingerspell P-O, and finish with the sign for 'where'. Because this is a WH-question, it is crucial to furrow your eyebrows and tilt your head slightly forward to signal that you are asking for information.

In everyday ASL conversation, fingerspelling P-O is the standard abbreviation for 'Post Office'. It is much faster and more common than spelling out the entire phrase. You will frequently see this abbreviation used when discussing mailing packages, buying stamps, or running errands in the community.
No, you should keep your hand in a stable, comfortable position. Bouncing your hand up and down between letters is a common beginner habit, but it actually makes fingerspelling much harder for others to read. Focus on keeping your wrist still and only moving your fingers.
To sign 'PO Box', you simply fingerspell the letters P-O, and then follow it up with the standard ASL sign for 'box'. You can sign 'box' by using flat hands to outline the parallel sides of a square box in front of you.
