[@xNujeL]

Not to be THAT person, but it is scientifically proven that language affects people/the culture/how they view things. I remember this example of a people that doesn't have "time" in their vocabulary and anything regarding it, so they don't know the stress that westerners have when it comes to time (time is money, etc.) I just find that super interesting and this is why i love languages/different cultures

[@DamonAndJo]

I remember another example of a language that doesn’t have the verb “to have” so the idea of desiring tons of material posessions (like in western cultures) was pretty much nonexistent in their culture!

[@Luis-ej4ei]

But are their culture shaped like that because they don't have certain words or do they not have certain words because that's just how their culture is shaped?

[@xNujeL]

@@Luis-ej4ei it's not that simple. A culture doesn't just come into existence one day, like it's not a definitive or finitive thing with clear outlines, nothing you can really measure. Culture is continuously evolving and it's therefore very hard to get a grasp on it. Today's culture is different from a decade or two, so you can't say which came first. Culture and language are just way too intertwined. This is such a hard thing to explain lmao i'm sorry. I'd look at it like this: What would it be like if you grew up in culture where there is no word for time, for example? There is no word for it, so you won't get to know the concept. It doesn't matter which came first, originally. Because growing up, the word "time" not existing at all will affect you in your world view unknowingly.

[@Luis-ej4ei]

@@xNujeL I just thought it was a bit weird that you originally commented that language affects culture, to me language is a product of the culture it developed in. So a given culture not having a concept of time is what explains a lack of words describing time in their language, not the other way around.

[@Luis-ej4ei]

Which is connected to the concept of of loan words. Once one culture is influenced by another, new concepts/ideais etc. are introduced, which creates a need for words to describe them, and the language evolves to encompass the changing culture.

[@kaiken419]

Mai Kamegaya mmm i thought about this and I think because I’m not as fluent in French as I am in English, articulation or eloquence is a bit more difficult for me in that language so I would have to “edit” the way I reply to virtually anything. I was taught French in a formal setting and I’m still very insecure about speaking it so I stick to very textbook phrases and/or responses so therefore I don’t have the same charisma as I do in English. So I guess I would have to agree but I don’t do it intentionally if that makes sense?

I am myself, I try to not judge others, I'm good listener and like to be kind to others. When I don't like smth I just move away.

[@skincarewithaustin]

Paused the video because I had a thought when you were talking about love and how you say the same thing in English to all those you love: In English we do say we are IN love with our significant others. I think, at the very least, there's an emphasis on the idea that love is an encompassing experience that you share with someone else, whereas you can also acknowledge that you HAVE love (E.g. I love you), this weight of a feeling, for someone. That said, incredibly interesting conversation in this video - some things and concepts that I've not ever heard discussed elsewhere. You both are so lovely. Thank you for sharing this moment!

[@DamonAndJo]

o0o0o0o0o interesting observation! didn’t think about that! see that’s why i like y’all ♥️

[@YouWinILose]

I understand the desire to learn your lover's language to hear them purely so hard. When his English is good, that's super helpful, but it's not how he would naturally say these things to me. It's an approximation, and a communication barrier, something that (through an incredible amount of work and an incredibly expanding exercise) could be removed, and could bring us closer. Not just for lovers of course!

[@rosagosling828]

I also have a french boyfriend for over 3 years now, who brought me to France (Nantes), so for over a year now, I am perfecting my french language skills (the 5th language that I speak) 3.French people being waaay too honest is something I hate and love about them at the same time.

sis waist is really out here being that snatched

[@SecretTwilightGirl]

I think American abroad privilege is definitely mitigated by race. When I was in Asia, Japan was quite used to the idea of Black Americans but had heavily stereotyped ideas of it and even of what being American meant. I was asked if I knew how to sing, dance, and if they could touch my curly hair-was it real? I was told I look like Beyonce (I don’t). The typical American things foreigners “think” they know are all predominately middle class white people things. I grew up eating rice and beans-not hamburgers and hot dogs. My host family looked at me in shock and confusion when I said I didn’t really like those things, or milk and cheese and they asked what did I eat in America, I must be starving over there. I know so many black folk who go to Korea, China, etc. and who aren’t believed when they say are Americans they’re not blonde-haired and blue-eyed. Representation is getting slowly better in the media we export but one of my Latina friends visits her South American family every year and even she experiences this. Her family upon meeting her were confused that she didn’t “look more American” with light eyes and straight hair. It feels like a lot of countries don’t know what to do with a non-white American abroad. They have to ask “oh but where were you born” or “where are your parents from?” I don’t even bother adding in I’m Latina because there are already so many Americans who don’t get all Latinas aren’t Mexican or look like JLo.

[@arthimanivannan4300]

!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm Canadian, but I have Sri Lankan heritage. When I studied abroad in Sweden, I came across so many international students, but the ones who were most confused by my race were Italians & Spaniards. My Italian friend was convinced that Sri Lanka was part of Africa for a good 2 months (because apparently I'm SO dark I can't be Asian lol) & a Spanish guy literally asked me on Tinder if I was really from Canada because I had brown skin. They were so confused that I'm from a land of diversity... it was an interesting POV I observed

[@kiarastewart5570]

Completely agree!

[@diorgirl8523]

I agree. When I went to Italy for vacation, everyone assumed I was from mainland China even though I was speaking perfect English and I was born and raised in the US. I was treated differently than the white Americans as well.

[@nicolecooper1569]

Yup! People know the white middle class American experience since that’s most likely what they watched on tv. I live in Taiwan and people are always like “American?! 🤯But you’re black.” “Where are your parents from?” while they aren’t from the US (they’re Jamaican), there are tons of black people in the US and other Western Hemisphere countries who’ve been there for like 200+ years. Now compare that to let’s say a Polish descendant. Their ancestors probably came to the US in the 1930s.

[@LadyPinkster]

@@nicolecooper1569 I kind of understand it to a degree,that they are only used to hearing about black people coming from Africa and I can also see a lot of white tourists going there. Yet, I have so many darn questions.... Are they taught about us history even if it is a tiny chapter? Do they assume that all white who have blue eye only come from the USA, what about Russia. The other place we often stereotype as having blonde hair and blue eyed people.... What about former president Obama? Even if they do not learn about US history, which is fine. We barely learn about others... Did they think he came solely from Africa? I think the blue eyes and blonde hair has really screwed up a lot of people expectations on foreigners and locals alike.

[@nikeelisabeth]

Speaking of the "does languages affect the way we percieve the world?" it made me remember something I studied about in school. There had been a new language discovered in a remote part of Asia, where the people had no vocabulary for possessing things. There was no such thing as ownership in their culture, nothing belonged to anyone, they just shared. Instead they had an extensive vocabulary of different tastes and colours. Thought it was very interesting and it really shows how much culture affects language and the other way around.

[@jasminbaumer3775]

Damon! Not really related to this video in particular, but can I just say thank you so much to you and Jo. I just moved countries from Germany to the UK (Brighton, yay!) a week ago without really knowing what I’m doing. No perfect plan, just going with the flow, following my heart. Jo and you inspired me years ago to go do an exchange semester in France, and have kept me longing for more exploring ever since. Now I have finally followed my heart completely and moved to a City where I will hopefully find a place to feel „home“ in a sense. It’s so interesting to hear you both talking about never feeling like you really belonged in your home country, because I’ve always felt similar and was finally able to just shut up, go and act on that feeling to find my place in the world. So basically, thank you for sharing your stories and experiences and brilliant attitude with the world. I hope we can meet some day so I can thank you in person for being a wonderful influence on my personal life without even knowing :) and if you ever come down to the wonderful seaside in Brighton, please let me know! 😄👯‍♀️😊 - Jasmin

what you said about tone in english is so true! I'm in high school and have been taking french for five years.

I just wanna make a correction on an inaccuracy. The Greek language doesn't have 7 different words to express 7 different kinds of love. I mean, there are words that express emotions of desire such as lust, passion, fondness, infatuation, adoration, intimacy and yearning but they're not the same as love.

[@imannoyed]

[@Destiny-zb2te]

5:15 I feel and relate to this on so many levels Damon! I was born and raised in the US but with Mexican parents and I never really felt 100% “American” you can say, so it’s so true where it would be easier for me to leave one day because I don’t feel so attached to this culture that I was born into.

[@gautierjo]

I'm a conference interpreting/translation/linguistics master student and one of my research areas is the theory of linguistic determinism and relativity which is based on the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. I'm very pleased to hear that Damon and her friend are on the same wavelength as me, because I also think that the language you were raised with does frame your way of thinking and learning new languages gives you the opportunity to overcome this boundary

[@barbarasammut6786]

What you said about language shaping the way you see the world 🙌🏻 so true!! I’m from the US and was living in South Africa and telling someone about my stepsisters and stepfather and they were like “we don’t have that terminology in my language, they’re your sisters and your father, there’s no distinction between step vs full, you’re family”

[@whiteaesthetic4680]

This video was so aesthetically pleasing. I’ve been blessed.

[@PhoenixBlade538]

Can we please keep up these wine talks and you just hanging with friends and having good convos? I love it!

[@jbhann]

She’s insanely fire hot. Maybe it’s the light. Nope, it’s her. Why doesn’t Rosa have a channel?

[@xiiioet3556]

Agreed

[@MALIK-sx2qq]

I really like the simple ascetics it gives late night talk with a friend vibes . The conversation about warmer climates vs colder climates in relation to focus or emphasis on arts and sciences is interesting . Although the deeper I think of it ,it’s very simple and if taken too literal can be problematic . Similar things are said in eugenics and white supremacy thinking . A lot of black and brown people live in warm climates ( as well as cold) but people of color are stereotyped to live in warmer climates. Saying “black and brown “ people in warmer climates don’t focus more on arts ,science, mathematics due to being outdoors is cheap and over simplistic because it ignores the accomplishments of black and brown peoples “the library’s and university of Timbuktu, sailing, art , bronze and iron work , navigation, mathematics , medicine , etc there’s so much because there’s so many regions and people but I’m typing off the top of my head . Saying that ignores or omits the accomplishments of black and brown peoples and civilizations in favor of white peoples under the guise of being about climate . Also remember the renaissance in Italy and Europe wouldn’t have happened with the Asian , and African traders at that time . ❤️

As I foreigner living in the US for many years now, I must say that Americans are very sensitive. Everything has to pass through multiple filters.

[@martinasurr]

Rosa’s way of talking about italians... SO SPOT ON! As an Italian myself, I now finally understand why people find my way of talking weird in foreign countries!

[@chilenaerrante]

About the I love you thing and languages, I once read a book that had a quote I will never forget. the translation would be something like, One can only experience feelings for what one's language has a word. And I seriously believe language shape our way of thinking and seeing the world.

[@HodoA]

I'm with a Belgian and I think that the Francophone culture in regards to brutal honesty is so refreshing now but the few months our relationship was filled with emotional outbursts on my part when he'd give me unwanted opinions like food I had just made. I'm from one of those mentalities where if something is negative or can be perceived negative by another person even if you aren't wanting it to come off like that, I would rather not say anything at all. I think that there are times for both approaches to life but it's always funny to me how people from Anglophone countries tend to have similar experiences in that regard with francophone partners. Love the discussions on this channel and your own Damon!

[@lunaeclipze]

All the ladies Damon hangs out with are so classy imma follow everyone's igs

[@alexiabalan7216]

I love when he says things like "well it's true" because it's like yeah that's true but it doesn't mean anything or what you think it means

[@dkdkdkcjchnbjvv6951]

Damon you literally have the coolest friends

[@susyking1788]

It’s been a while since a live human being inspired me to like my body the way it is and be okay with wanting to alter myself as a person aesthetically (Ex. The way I move my body, my posture, basically my mannerisms) as well as dress and adorn myself as I wish + be ok with showing how I want to see & be myself just because I enjoy/feel like it. Thanks Rosa for inspiring me and thanks Damon for introducing your wonderful friend, your red wine talks are always so wonderful to watch.

[@nomadicvibesofelle]

Rosa's hair is giving me dirty dancing vibes. I love it!

[@kjade8007]

Seeing Rosa was exactly the motivation I needed to get my shit together tonight. Goals!!!!

[@alicegiuditta]

Rosa's accent got progressively more street lol

[@MadalenaMatos]

Hey! I’ve been reading The Doors of Perception recently and it do says that we humans transmit (or try to) our experiences and way of seeing the world through words and symbols, and because of that process/ condition we create social groups surrounding this way of connecting and sharing ideas, whether it’s our family, group of friends or even cultural groups. Just remembered this related to what you were talking about how culture influences your way of thinking :)

[@brendaseixas2140]

What Rosa said about everybody already knowing american culture bc of al the shows and movies we watched growing up is so true

[@mallurkina007]

I also studied languages in college and this video made me remember all the classes I took back then. I really like this format!

[@MusicalMar]

Ms.Rosa can we talk about this outfit? 🔥 She’s snatched and serving!!!

[@rosagosling828]

Mar J im posting about it and other info on doing sustainable fashion stylishly on my insta @itsrosacecilia later today xxx

[@bunneyvibes]

I love how you and your guests always speak so intelligently I learned a lot from you guys

[@RussianGingerelle]

About the Russian language though. It's not entirely true that the word order doesn't matter. It is not fixed, that is correct, you can put any word pretty much anywhere. But! It does change the tone and , sometimes, even the meaning of the whole utterance.

[@marjory62]

Best duo ever on that channel, Rosa is a must

[@rsmith1820]

I love how the accent goes from Posh to Chilean when she says LATINA & I love the BRUTALLY HONEST & OPINIONATED FRENCH My 1st trip to Paris the sales woman said (not asked mind you), "You aren't going to buy THAT." & she looked like suddenly she realized I hadn't bathed in a month. I laughed so hard she just shook her head & floated away. That would NEVER happen in NYC. The salesperson would wish she had never been born.

[@himanshudutta4663]

This is officially my favorite KZbin channel. You guys make me feel alive

[@josepha133]

I think language definitely does affect our behaviour / mentality! In Spanish for example having ser and estar for to be immediately influences the way in which your perceive the rest of the sentence wherein in English that nuance doesn’t exist.

[@DamonAndJo]

The fact that some people say “Estoy casado” instead of “Soy” 😂😂😂

[@josepha133]

DamonAndJo haha wonder how long that marriage is going to last 😂

[@thaispinheiro8109]

This video is absolutely everything. I've had a long distance cross cultural relationship and jeez I just wanted to sit there with you guys, have some wine and talk about it. Part 2 please

[@bellea8163]

"I'm from Acton" the Londoner really jumped out and I want us to be friends

[@xXurshureXx]

Such a cool vid ! I really reckon that language shapes your thoughts and the way you see the world. Grew up in a finnish-german-french household and I literally change persona when I switch between languages. Not only that, but for example finnish, they are so many words for different types of snow or nature in general. I just find it so fascinating.

[@jasz28]

I looooove this. Alsoooo i need Rosa's outfit pleaseee. Where is it from 😂

[@rosagosling828]

I know, that top is to die for

[@missonyx1lala]

I am learning about the Sapir-Whorf theory in Sociology here in British Columbia, Canada! I am traveling to Europe next year with my boyfriend and am now realizing I should study language to travel more freely. He is practicing German and I am practicing Spanish. French is not my strong spot but watching your videos I believe is helping. Thank you!
