1

A spelling relation rather than a guessed sound

A learner is comparing བོད་ཀྱི་དེབ with མིག་གི་ཆུ. The task concerns the written connective, not a compulsory pronunciation in every regional variety. In the first phrase, བོད ends in d; in the second, མིག ends in g. Another learner applies an inaccurate table that puts both endings in the same group.

An original comparison and the limits of attribution

The original practice phrase མེ་ཏོག་ལྟར་མཛེས་པོ uses a flower as the comparison for beauty. It is supplied solely as a short language exercise, not as a quotation from a named modern poet. One reader identifies the comparison marker; another adds a publication date, a political interpretation and a claim that the line belongs to a current WBBSE textbook. None of those added details has been supplied.

A small group of books

A learner receives the phrase དེབ་དམར་པོ་གཉིས and the task asks for its basic meaning. The head noun is book, the following adjective is red and the numeral is two. One proposed answer describes two red books; another describes a single blue book, and a third invents the owner and price. The task contains no transaction, date or possessive expression, so those details cannot be read from the phrase.

A neutral introduction with a negative alternative

The supplied introductory pair is ང་སློབ་ཕྲུག་ཡིན། and ང་སློབ་ཕྲུག་མིན།. In the stated ordinary self-introduction model, the first says that the speaker is a student and the second denies that identity. A learner notices the same subject and noun in both and translates both affirmatively. Another correctly preserves the difference but then announces an exceptionless law assigning every Tibetan copula solely by grammatical person.
