American Sign Language: "will"


To express the concept of "will" you can use the sign "FUTURE."
 

The sign for "future" is made by slicing a "flat hand" forward through the air.  The farther you move your hand, the further into the the future you are referring.  This sign "FUTURE" can also be used for sentences such as, "Will you go to college?" (YOU FUTURE COLLEGE YOU?).  You can also use a double arching movement to mean "someday" or "the distant future." 

will = FUTURE:
 

"Do you think someday you will teach ASL?"

 



See: FUTURE:


Also see: SOMEDAY


Also see: LATER


Note: If you mean, "strong willed" see: STUBBORN
If you mean "will" as in the document that describes what to do with your belongings when you die, you should use fingerspelling and spell W-I-L-L.
