Hey Johnny, did you know that the way we speak can pereive the world?
OH really Lily? HOW SO?
t's called the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. It suggests that the structure and vocabulary of a language influence how its speakers perceive and think about the world.
: Fascinating! How does that relate to English?
Well, English is a language wiith many words and concepts. But some languages have unique words that english Does not.
Como estas?
Estoy Bien!
For example, some languages have specific words for emotions or ideas that english might not have
So, you're saying the language we speak can limit out understanding of certain concepts?
It's like having a puzzle with missing peices. We can still see the picture, but those missing pieces might hold they key to a deeper understanding
HMMM......
