==Examples== An example of Lincos from section 3 of Freudenthal's book, showing one individual asking another individual questions:{{citation needed|date=March 2022}} {| class="wikitable" ! Lincos text ! Meaning |- | ''Ha'' Inq ''Hb'' ?''x'' 2''x''=5 | Ha says to Hb: What is the x such that 2x=5? |- | ''Hb'' Inq ''Ha'' 5/2 | Hb says to Ha: 5/2. |- | ''Ha'' Inq ''Hb'' Ben | Ha says to Hb: Good. |- | ''Ha'' Inq ''Hb'' ?''x'' 4''x''=10 | Ha says to Hb: What is the x such that 4x=10? |- | ''Hb'' Inq ''Ha'' 10/4 | Hb says to Ha: 10/4. |- | ''Ha'' Inq ''Hb'' Mal | Ha says to Hb: Bad. |- | ''Hb'' Inq ''Ha'' 1/4 | Hb says to Ha: 1/4. |- | ''Ha'' Inq ''Hb'' Mal | Ha says to Hb: Bad. |- | ''Hb'' Inq ''Ha'' 5/2 | Hb says to Ha: 5/2. |- | ''Ha'' Inq ''Hb'' Ben | Ha says to Hb: Good. |} Note the difference between "good" and "bad" as compared to "true" and "false"; 10/4 is a true answer to the question, so ''Ver'' ("true") would be a valid response, but since it wasn't reduced to lowest terms, it wasn't what Ha wanted and so he responded ''Mal'' ("bad") instead. The book separately teaches Ver and Fal for true and false.{{citation needed|date=March 2022}} Another example, showing meta-conversation:{{citation needed|date=March 2022}} {| class="wikitable" ! Lincos text ! Meaning |- | ''Ha'' Inq ''Hb'' ?''x'' 4''x''=10 | Ha says to Hb: What is the x such that 4x=10? |- | ''Hb'' Inq ''Hc'' ?''y'' ''y'' Inq ''Hb'' ?''x'' 4''x''=10 | Hb says to Hc: Who asked me for the x such that 4x=10? |- | ''Hc'' Inq ''Hb'' ''Ha'' | Hc says to Hb: Ha. |}
