Question 1

A visual shows: [picture of running person] = 'vel', [picture of sleeping person] = 'mak', [picture of singing person] = 'talo'. A new picture shows a person eating. From the pattern (pictograph = verb), what would the eating verb be called?

Accepted Answer

A new word not yet defined — the pattern shows verbs are depicted by action pictures

Answer

The eating verb is a new word — you can only infer it would be a verb shown by an action picture.

Question 2

Picture key: [circle] = 'one', [two circles] = 'two', [three circles] = 'three'. [Square] = noun. You see: [square][two circles]. What does this symbol string mean?

Accepted Answer

Two nouns

Answer

Square=noun, two circles=two → 'two nouns.'

Question 3

A picture shows three paired images: [sun→day], [moon→night], [cloud→rain]. A new image shows [snow]. By the pictographic pattern, what would [snow] likely represent?

Accepted Answer

A weather/environmental word (e.g., 'cold' or 'winter')

Answer

The pattern maps weather phenomena to weather-related words; snow fits the same category.

Question 4

A visual shows symbol associations: [arrow pointing right] = future tense marker, [arrow pointing left] = past tense marker, [dot] = present tense marker. You see a sentence with a [dot] before it. What tense is the sentence in?

Accepted Answer

Present

Answer

A dot = present tense marker, per the established visual key.

Question 5

Image associations: [tall vertical line] = man, [shorter vertical line] = woman, [horizontal line] = child, [wavy line] = animal. You see: [wavy line] + [shorter vertical line]. What does this combination likely mean?

Accepted Answer

Animal and woman (or 'a female animal')

Answer

Wavy line = animal, shorter vertical line = woman → 'animal and woman' or 'female animal.'
