    Intent may be the same, but the words used to convey that intent changes with each language

    Depends on the bridge. If it’s a detailed one with a lot of ornamentation, it’s beautiful and elegant. If it’s a long and big bridge, I’d say it’s strong and long or sturdy.. Just because the word is feminine in German, I won’t use generalised descriptions.. I say it how it is. There are a lot of ornamental bridges in Europe, so I’d typically say they’re beautiful. Don’t know if it’s because of the adjective.

      Probably the same image of a bridge was shown, as bridges in Spain and Germany might differ considerably

    This is why I love the Latin Mass. Latin language is clear and has not changed in centuries.

    It could be opposite though. Thoughts have shaped the language

      Your comment is about the origin of language and I would say it’s too vague to be wrong lol.
      What she is referring to is the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis, the generally true principle that various languages influence their speaker’s perception of the world and cognition in different ways.
      Now I want to give myself a 4/10 because although also my explanation feels too vague to be wrong, I know that it could very well be

      @@hyperpony4865 I don’t think most linguists today agree with Sapir Whorf hypothesis. Even George Orwell wrote something similar to this in 1984. But they were being disproved in real world.

      Culture shapes language, language shapes culture. You think in language and is therefore constrained and influenced by it, and also inherently by it’s culture. There is no way around it. As someone that speaks multiple languages I’m truly fascinated by how differently I think in different languages, and there is even a noticeable difference in the way I think and feel between British and American Enflish. I just came back from backpacking through SEA and now I’m touched by Australian English (I picked up the accent, slang and intonation) and yet again it influenced me.

    Couldn’t agree more. As a native Brazilian, Portuguese being my first language, as an adult, as for my trained profession as a Spanish/English Court Interpreter, I know first hand, the importance of words.

      In portuguese you would say ‘a ponte é forte’, ‘eu quebrei meu braço’ e ‘ele quebrou o vaso’ quite naturally. Sure language can guide the reasoning process, but the examples used seem weak
