In this episode of Everything Explained, we explore how the language we speak subtly shapes the way we think. From color perception to spatial and temporal reasoning, grammar, and even bilingual cognition, words act as lenses that nudge attention, memory, and interpretation. We dive into the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, practical examples from daily life, and experiments showing how language categories guide what we notice and remember. Whether it’s choosing a word for a mood, framing time, or naming objects, language influences habits, judgments, and perspectives. A clear, thoughtful guide to understanding how words don’t just describe reality—they help shape it.
