What is the primary function of your dominant hand? Switch support in two-handed signs Act as a support or base in two-handed signs Form two-handed signs Perform the action in two-handed signs

Two-handed, non-symmetrical signs have one dominant hand which moves and one passive hand which serves as a base. For right-handed signers, the right hand is the active or dominant hand, while the left hand is the passive or base hand. For left-handed signers, it is the opposite. Meaning: sushi. More examples: read, help, investigate, painting.

You should use your non-dominant (left) hand as "partner hand" for signs in which both hands move, and as a "base" (non-moving) hand for two-handed signs in which only the right hand moves.
