Artificial language mapping – form the word for “happiness” Given translations: • jalkamofti = happy birthday • moftihoze = birthday party • mentogunn = goodness Which option means “happiness”?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: jalkagunn

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
By aligning recurring morphemes across phrases, we can discover the pieces for “happy,” “birthday,” “party,” “good,” and the abstract noun suffix “-ness,” then recombine the correct ones to form “happiness.”



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • jalkamofti = happy birthday
  • moftihoze = birthday party
  • mentogunn = goodness


Concept / Approach:
“Birthday” appears in two phrases; the shared morpheme is “mofti,” so mofti → birthday. Then “hoze” must be party. In “mentogunn = goodness,” split as mento → good and gunn → -ness. In “jalkamofti,” the remaining part “jalka” maps to happy. Therefore “happiness” = happy + -ness = jalka + gunn.



Step-by-Step Solution:

Map mofti → birthday (common element in two phrases).Map hoze → party (paired with birthday in one phrase).Map mento → good; gunn → -ness (from goodness).Map jalka → happy (from happy birthday).Compose happiness = jalka + gunn → jalkagunn.


Verification / Alternative check:

Reconstruct given phrases with mappings to check internal consistency; all align with the translations.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

mentohoze: good + party; meaning “good party,” not happiness.moftihoze: birthday party; given.hozemento: party + good; still not happiness.gunnajalka: reverses order; the language examples place the base before the suffix.


Common Pitfalls:

Misidentifying the abstract noun suffix gunn as a stand-alone word; ignoring order patterns.


Final Answer:
jalkagunn
