Embodiments relate to a system, program product, and method for use with an intelligent computer platform to decipher analogical phrases. A phrase is compared to an analogy classifier database in order to identify a match between the analogical pattern and an analogy entry. If a match is identified, generating an idiomatic structure from the analogical pattern. An analysis is then applied whereby the analysis includes building a set of outcomes of the generated idiomatic structure based on semantic analysis into corresponding metadata for the idiomatic structure. An ontological database is searched for evidence of a pattern associated with the set of outcomes and each entry in the outcome set is scored according to a weighted calculation from the ontological database based on congruence with the pattern. An entry from the outcome set is selected based on the scoring and is represented as a meaning of the analogical pattern.
