du

Decoding the Code Language

We need to find the code for the word 'serious' based on the given examples. We can identify the codes by comparing the phrases and their corresponding codes.

Step-by-Step Code Identification

  • Phrase 1: 'corrupt men' = 'vu ka'
  • Phrase 2: 'he is corrupt' = 'hu na vu'
  • Phrase 3: 'she is serious' = 'po na du'
  • Phrase 4: 'she faints' = 'po gu'

Finding Common Codes

  • Compare 'Phrase 3' ('she is serious' = 'po na du') and 'Phrase 4' ('she faints' = 'po gu'). The common word is 'she' and the common code is 'po'. Therefore, 'she' = 'po'.
  • Compare 'Phrase 2' ('he is corrupt' = 'hu na vu') and 'Phrase 3' ('she is serious' = 'po na du'). The common word is 'is' and the common code is 'na'. Therefore, 'is' = 'na'.

Identifying the Code for 'Serious'

Now, look at 'Phrase 3': 'she is serious' = 'po na du'.

  • We know 'she' = 'po'.
  • We know 'is' = 'na'.
  • The remaining word is 'serious' and the remaining code is 'du'.

Therefore, the code for 'serious' is 'du'.
