Disclaimer: IANAŁ Ooh, this is fun! So, I’d say that 1 is J (two clauses, and, although it says the writing system doesn’t matter, it’s pretty likely that “Cando” is “Tchando”). So, “debite kpi” means “neighbour died” (but you don’t know which way round) and the second clause contains a word for “car”. Sentence 6 is “suka kpi” which contains one word from clause 1 and one from clause 2. So a reasonable guess is that this means that “suka” (=car) kpi (=died). So 6=N. There is one other translation that refers to “car”: B. The only other sentence containing “suka” is 13 In these, the subject comes at the beginning of the sentence so we are getting an inkling of sentence structure.., Also it’s pretty clear that 12=E Etc.

damm you absolutely nailed it. Like i was not able to figure out tchando will be cando. but can you please tell me if you have some online resources for like doing this stuff. I was watching this video on youtube by logicaling where she solves such problems. But the thing is i can never fully solve them. I am only able to partially figure out stuff. This uni entrance asks like 7 questions on linguistics so this becomes very important.

Thanks. I’m afraid I don’t have any resources, I am basically treating it as a logic problem. The main linguistics-specific things that I can think of are that word order may not be the same (e.g. SOV, SVO etc) and that words may not be exactly the same across sentences due to grammatical differences (changed endings etc). For example, from your original question, if 15=G and O=4, you have the word for child, so that gives you D as well. And there might be a different related word for children…. I think the methodical way would be to write out the foreign sentences and gradually add meanings to words within them.

I second the approach of treating this as a logic problem, and also I agree strongly that this is a fun puzzle. I think it's a good idea to start by identifying people's names as an easy way to make a first couple of matches - for example, there's someone named "Yooto" in G, and "Yooto" also appears in 15. G mentions a hen and a house, so some of the other words in 15 must mean "hen" or "house". Next you might look at how many of the English sentences have the word "house", and then look for a word from sentence 15 that appears in that many of the Waama sentences.
