If in a certain language, 'oka thi' means 'cold weather'; 'doja tu' means 'hot climate' and 'tu ni oka' means 'weather is hot', which word in that language means 'is'?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) →ni
Given statements
-
oka thi = cold weather
-
doja tu = hot climate
-
tu ni oka = weather is hot
The common word in 1 and 3 is “cold weather” and “weather is hot” is weather, and the common coded word is oka. So, oka = weather.
Now compare:
-
doja tu = hot climate
-
tu ni oka = weather is hot
The common meaning is hot, and the common coded word is tu. So, tu = hot.
That leaves: ni = is
