This question is, can you think of examples of how language affects cognition? so this question is really getting at our understanding of linguistic determinism.
00:15
And this is simply the idea that language affects the way we think.
00:19
So this question is asking for examples of linguistic determinism essentially.
00:26
And i think the best sort of means of going about this question is simply, thinking about how language might affect how you view the world.

And for me, as someone who is multilingual, i like to look at how words aren't able to be described in another language.

So i'm filipino, so i am able to speak to gallic in addition to english, but i also took spanish for almost five years in school.
01:02
And what i was able to learn is, or essentially what i grew up with, were having to translate certain words.
01:10
And throughout my, i guess, journey as going up multilingual or going up bilingual and then picking up another language in school, was that there are just some words that you can't translate.
01:22
And i think my favorite word in tagalog, or one of them, is the word kewig, and it's spelled like this.
