“THE SECRET CODE STRATEGY”
THE BOGO MYSTERY - STEP 4
Key
Step 1
koyar car tocon = there were three sharks
bekoya aar tefo = there wasn´t a lion
koya aar toco = there was a shark
koyar dar patan = there were four turtles
bekoyar bar patan = there weren´t two turtles
Step 2
Nouns: add -n to make the plural form
Cardinal numbers: add -ar to the letters of our alphabet - e.g. 1 = aar; 2 = bar; 3 = car; 4 = dar
Verbs (there was/were): add -r to make the plural form; add be- in front of the affirmative form to make the negative
Step 3
1. koyar ear tefon
2. bekoya aar toco
3. koyar far patan
