# How to Sign “House” in Sign Language

A house is more than just a building – it’s a home, symbolizing warmth and love.

## Signing “House”

1. Hand shape: Form both hands into a “closed-5” handshape.
2. Hand location: Bring both hands in front of your body, palms facing each other, fingers touching in a triangle shape.
3. Movement: Starting with your fingers touching, move your hands downward in a triangle shape, then downward.
4. Facial expression: Keep a neutral facial expression.
