Major Categories of Tao (People)

2. Parte — parts of the body, either internal or external.

Minor Categories of Pangalan ng Tao

Names of personalities are either celebrity or non-celebrity. If the answer to celebrity is NO, that only means that the name belongs to a non-celebrity. You do not have to ask if it is a non-celebrity. Remember that one good strategy to win is to have common sense.

1. Celebrity — a celebrity can be an actor, a singer, an athlete, a beauty queen, or a TV personality
2. Non-celebrity — If the answer to celebrity is NO, immediately proceed to these categories: politician, president, historical, hero, fictional.

Minor Categories of Parte ng Katawan

Let us divide and define the sections of the human body: upper, middle, lower, limbs. Note the tips mentioned in each category.

1. Full (pangkalahatan) — Full-body part refers to the part of the body that is present from head to toe such as the skin, veins and blood.
2. Up (taas) — Up (or top) refers to the upper part of the body. It covers from neck to the crown of the head. If the answer to Up is Puede, it refers to a full-body part such as the skin.
3. Mid (gitna) — The middle part comprises from below the neck down to the navel. If the answer to Mid is Puede, it means that the body part belongs to the upper limbs, which are from shoulders to fingers; or a full-body part.
1. Limbs — Limbs in the mid section include those shoulders down to the fingers.
4. Low (babâ) — Low (or down) refers to the lower part of the body. It comprises from the navel down to your feet. If the category is Low, immediately ask Limbs? so that you would know if its between your navel and groin; or from your groin to your feet. If the answer to Low is Puede, it refers to a full-body part.
1. Limbs — Limbs of the lower part of the body include from your thighs down to your feet.
5. External or internal — Each part of the body is either internal or external. If it is not internal, it is understood that it is external. You don't have to confirm if it is indeed external; that's a waste of time. Remember: common sense works well.

Tip: When defining the parts of the body, rather than wondering what you would ask next, just look at the body of your partner starting from his or her head down to his or her feet, so that you don't miss a thing.

Minor Categories of Propesyon ng Tao

The easiest way to guess the profession of a person is to recall the people you usually meet or encounter.

1. Start with the profession of your family members. Begin with your parents, then your siblings, then your extended family member or anyone who lives with you in your house.
2. Recall the people you've just met or encountered on your way to the studio. 
3. Look around you (without moving your eyes and head). Moving your eyes or head is not allowed in the game. Who are the people working in the studio.
4. From your house, go to your place of work, office or school. Who are the people who work there.
5. Aside from your place of work or school, where else do you usually go? Church, market, mall, the streets? Be coherent in your thinking.

Minor Categories of Sakit ng mga Tao

The way to hit this question is also by looking at the body of your partner starting from his or her head down to his or her feet and use the technique of association. For example, if you look at the face of your partner, you see first his forehead. What condition would you associate with the forehead? Then you see his eyes. What body condition is associated with the eyes? An so forth and so on.
