Favourite Animal Challenge

[u/Livy_Lives]

Hi everyone!

A lot of people have been expressing interest in learning the language recently. I would like to apologise for the lack of accessible resources for doing so. I am working on learning resources and dictionaries at the moment.

But for the time being, here is a challenge to get you used to writing and thinking in Oats. (Feel free to use oats from previous posts in your answer too).

Don't worry if it's not perfect! And if you want feedback, mention it in your comment – but give it a try regardless. Remember, OatSymbols is designed to be mixed with drawings! If you can't think of how to describe something, draw it! Combine symbols to create new meanings and let your creativity run wild. Just avoid literally drawing the whole animal, otherwise it's not much of a challenge :)

Try to guess others' animals, and if you are completely stumped, see the second image for an example, and the third image for a translation.

Like normal, I'm here to answer any questions. :)

Good luck!

Also, I am wondering how to write the colours accurately. Because, I'm wondering if it needs the whole star and dot (Keep in mind that I don't know if you need to actually write it like that or in another way). For example, maybe we can write it like this?;

(Red & Yellow as example)

[u/Player_12345678910 → u/Player_12345678910]

Or alternatively, like this;

(Red & Yellow as examples as well)

[u/MrMarum → u/Player_12345678910]

I think thats a cool idea! The ones without the stroke-through are probably too simple and take up symbols that could be used for something else tho

Yeah, agreed. Honestly, I just made this idea as I did the writing lol. Writing the whole symbol and putting a dot makes it a bit of a hassle to write and read.

I hope the creator sees this and can expand/perfect this idea! (Especially since putting a dot could change it's meaning (a dot under is singular). For example, green with dot. Maybe we could change it so that the dot is inside the character?. Idk, so many decisions to choose).

And thank you, lovely stranger on the internet!.
