    This document summarizes key points from a TED talk video about how language shapes thought. It discusses that languages differ in their sounds, vocabularies, and structures. Some languages lack exact number words or have few color words. The language we speak guides our reasoning and attention, potentially shaping how we think about space, time, quantity, and other concepts with linguistic labels. The document emphasizes that our own language influences how we individually think, rather than implying other languages lead to inferior thinking.

    Summerizes the interesting points in the video “How Language Shape The Way We
    Think” by Lera Boroditsky on the TED Youtube channel

     Speaking language this is one these magical abilities that we humans have, we can
    transmit really complicated thought to one another.

     This abilities (speaking language) we humans are able to transmit our ideas acros vasr
    reached of space and time. We’re able to transmit knowledge across minds.

     There isnt just one language in the world, there are about 7000 language spoken around
    the world. And all the languange differ from one another in all kinds of ways, some
    language have different sounds, they have different vocabullaries, and they also have
    different structur.

     Some languages dont have exact number words. In fact, people who speak these
    language dont count, and they have trouble keeping trank of exact quantities.

     Language also differ in how they dive uo the color spectrum the visual world. Some
    languages have lots of words for colors, some have onlu a couple words “light” and
    “dark.” And languages differ in where they put boundaries between colors.

     People who speak different languages will pay attention to different things, depending
    on what their language usually requires them to do. The language guides our reasoning
    about events. Example of how language can profoundly shape the way we think. So
    language can have big effect like we saw space and time, where people can lay out
    space and time in completely different coordinate frames from each other. Language
    can also habe really deep effect that we saw with the case of number. Language can
    also have really early effects what we saw in the case of color. Language can have really
    broad effect, that means language can shape how youre thinking about anything that
    can be named by noun.
     How speakers of different languages think differently, but of course thats not about how
    people alsewhere think. Its about how you think. Its how the language that you speak
    shapes the way that you think.
