Does language influence to the manner we are thinking? This video answers definitely "yes":
The speaker gives several examples. For instance:
- Direction
Language of tribe of hunters in Australia has no words "left" and "right". They use sides of light to point the direction, for instance: southwest. So all of them have very good possibility for navigation on territorial.
- Count
Some languages have no particular numbers. So the peoples that uses these languages are impossible to study math.
- Nouns
The consequence from the video is - the language influences on the shape of how people are thinking. And we should not only understand it but ask ourselves how we can think different about thinks.
