To sign "turn around," start with your dominant hand in a "1" handshape, meaning your index finger is pointing straight up while your other fingers are curled into your palm. Begin with your palm facing forward. Smoothly rotate your wrist so that your palm turns to face inward toward your body. The upright index finger acts as a classifier representing a person, and the twisting motion visually mimics that person physically turning their body around.
Sign "please" by rubbing your open flat hand in a circle on your chest, then use the "turn around" sign. The index finger clearly shows the physical action you want the person to take.
Point to your side to indicate "he," use the "turn around" sign to show his change in physical direction, and then sign "leave" to complete the sequence of his actions.
Use the "turn around" sign, then point to the person and sign "shirt." The rotation of your hand perfectly illustrates the physical movement you are asking them to do.

No, this specific sign uses the "1" handshape, which represents a person. If you want to describe a vehicle turning around, you would use the "3" handshape classifier (thumb, index, and middle fingers extended) to represent the car making a U-turn.
Yes, the direction can change based on your story! Generally, you start with the palm facing forward and twist it inward toward yourself to show someone turning to face you. You can reverse the motion to show them turning away from you.
No, this sign is literal and refers to a person physically changing their direction. To express an abstract concept like a situation improving or a business "turning around," you would use a different sign, such as the sign for "change" or "improve."
