It reminds me of Czech, where a fixed list of prefixes can be used to modify the meaning of any verb, with very creative possibilities!

Same in Polish, with some curse words providing very flexible bases for every situation.
Do you know of a resource that shows pictograms for Polish like the one the parent shows? My partner is Polish and I’m slowly acquiring the language, butI have always struggled to visualise the meanings of the Polish equivalent prefixes
Most of them are the same as in Polish. The "prefixes" are called "przyimek" (plural przyimki) in Polish, try googling for that. Here's an example: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/73/ad/c8/73adc83b89ba15c7a79f...
Same in many other indo-european languages. See Language tree: https://images.mentalfloss.com/sites/default/files/196.jpg
