RE: Language Affects the Way we Think!!!
Just passing through with some pay it forward love because you were featured by @imagendevoz
I read somewhere that some cultures have no word for the color blue. That really made me think. Certainly blue will still exist yet in the minds of those people it would probably exist as a shade of green.
As a child it took some effort for me to learn right and left. It sure would have been a nice shortcut to learn the directions simultaneously.
Hi @headchange, yes indeed, colour perception is another very interesting theme in relation to language. Have a look at this extremely interesting article: http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20180419-the-words-that-change-the-colours-we-see, fascinating stuff....!
That article pretty much proves the point that larger vocabulary translates into richer life experience.
Being an artsy type I love to work with color. Interaction with a culture who only acknowledges dark and light would be leaving out a large portion of my life experience.
This makes me wonder what levels of perception may lye hidden in the cultures I have yet to become familiar with.
Your post has really made me think.
Nice nice, i think that's what this is all about.... happy to have contributed to a thinking process....
Hahahaha.. @headchange : I just remember that we have no word for blue in my mother languages, Aceh. We will claim blue as green (ijo)... Thanks God that I have learnt another language before Acehnese.
