Which term means equivalence or matching in language?

• A. Pagtutumbas
• B. Pangheuristiko
• C. Pang-interaksyunal
• D. Diglossic na kalagayan

Answer: (A)

Equivalence or matching in language is about finding an expression in one language that corresponds in meaning or use to an expression in another language. That idea is captured by pagtutumbas, which conveys the act of making things correspond or be equivalent across languages. The other terms refer to different ideas—heuristics (rule-of-thumb methods), interactional language use, and a diglossic situation—none of which specifically denote equivalence between languages.
