The sign for compliment is a modified version of the sign for SCHOOL
and/or CLAP. The difference between the two signs is that the
sign for compliment is done a bit softer and the contact is more
from the finger area of the dominant hand to the palm area of the
non-dominant hand, (not so much palm to palm contact as in the
general sign for SCHOOL).
Also the sign COMPLIMENT is sometimes held a bit more out from the
body -- especially if you are complimenting someone directly (done
slightly in the direction of the person receiving the compliment).
COMPLIMENT:
Also, you could express the concept of "compliment" via other
methods such as informing someone that someone else had said
something POSITIVE about them or
NICE about them.
