Ideographs



When I was studying ideographs I wanted to convey ideas that could not be expressed in only one word in the english language, in theory, giving my ideograms and actual purpose. The image on the right stands for the word "prozvonit". This is a Czech word that means to call a mobile phone, let it ring once so the other person will call back, saving the first person money. The image in the top left stands for the word "cafune" this is a Brazilian Portuguese word that means to run ones fingers through someones hair. The last image at the bottom represents "torschlusspanik". This is a German word that refers to the fear of diminishing opportunities as someone ages.
