Each word on the left can be combined phonetically with a word on the right to form a new word or phrase. For example, ALL + SEW = ALSO. The pairs are shown here:
The lines connecting the words spell out the French translation of the new, combined English word, with one letter added.
- ALL + SEW = ALSO = AUSSI + O
- AWK + SHUN = AUCTION = ENCHÈRES + I
- DISK + HOVER = DISCOVER = DÉCOUVRIR + L
- EYE + SCREAM = ICE CREAM = GLACE + V
- FORE + TEA = FORTY = QUARANTE + Y
- MISS + US = MRS. = MADAME + E
- PURR + PULL = ALSO = VIOLET + W
- SEE + SUN = SEASON = SAISON + E
Sorting the French words alphabetically and taking the extra letters in that order gives OLIVE YEW. This is a misheard version of I LOVE YOU, which becomes JE T’AIME in French. Since the JE is given, the answer is T’AIME.
