So this quiz is a bit of an informal experiment to test the extent to which sound symbolism may play a role in the phonetics of basic concepts (such as big/small) across languages. I played around on Google translate and tried to be fair by including some examples where I don't think reality matches sound symbolism theory (or my perception of it). I think it will be interesting to see the results. Let me know if I made any mistake!
