Answer 2

A mnemonic (pronounced [nəˈmɒnɪk] in Received Pronunciation) is a memory aid, and most serve an educational purpose. Mnemonics are often verbal, something such as a very short poem or word (which may be made up), particularly lists. Mnemonics rely not only on repetition to remember facts, but also on associations between easy-to-remember information and to be remembered lists of data, based on the principle that the human mind much more easily remembers data attached to spatial, personal, or otherwise meaningful information than that occurring in meaningless sequences. The sequences must have some connection to a person's existing semantic associations; if a random mnemonic is made up, it is not necessarily a memory aid.

Answer 3

Mnemonic is a very general word. It is defined simply as some device which aids the memorisation of something. The word comes from the Greek mnemonikós, which refers to the mind.
These devices come in a variety of forms. One common sort is rhyme. The following reminds people of the number of days in each month of the year:

Thirty days hath September,
April, June, and November;
All the rest have thirty-one
Excepting February alone:
Which hath but twenty-eight, in fine,
Till leap year gives it twenty-nine.

Many mnemonics also take the form of acronyms. To recall the spelling of the word mnemonic, say, you could memorise the following phrase:


Monkey Nut Eating Means Old Nutshells In Carpet.
Taking the initial letters of each word spells out MNEMONIC. Of course, if you find it harder to memorise the sentence than the spelling of the word directly then the mnemonic serves no useful purpose. However such sentences are often easier to learn, especially for words with tricky spellings.

Answer 4

It's a way to remember something. A short rhyme, or a word association, any way to make the information more easily retrieved from ones brain!

But for the words you have said, not sure what you mean . . . .
