To sign 'turn,' hold both hands in front of your body in relaxed, open '5' handshapes with your palms facing down. Move both hands together in a smooth, rotating motion, as if guiding an object to change direction. Keep your palms facing downward throughout the movement.
To sign this clearly, perform the 'turn' sign and smoothly guide your hands to the left to indicate the specific direction. This spatial agreement visually maps out the route for the person watching, making your directions much easier to follow and understand.
Use the 'turn' sign while shifting your hands in a curved, sweeping path to show the car's movement around the corner. Incorporating the actual shape of the path into your sign makes the description much more visually accurate and natural in ASL.
Sign 'turn' and then confidently point downward with your index finger to indicate that the change of direction should happen at this exact location. Emphasizing the downward point helps clarify that the turn needs to happen right here, avoiding any confusion.

You can easily specify the direction by physically moving your hands to the left or right while performing the sign. The spatial path your hands take visually communicates the exact direction of the turn, making it clear to the person you are signing with.
No, 'taking turns' or 'my turn' uses a completely different sign. That concept is typically signed using an 'L' handshape that rotates toward the person whose turn it is. The sign shown in this video is specifically used for a physical change in direction or path.
No, turning a page has its own specific sign. For a book, you would hold one hand flat to represent the book's surface, while your other hand mimics the physical action of pinching and flipping a page over. Always match the sign to the specific type of action.
