Language plays a big role in how we see other people's thoughts and feelings. Here’s a simple breakdown of how it works:

1. Talking and Showing Feelings:

   • About 70% of how we communicate is through body language and expressions, not just words. This shows how much language shapes how we understand what others mean.

2. Cultural Background:

   • Studies say that people who speak two languages might feel emotions differently, depending on which language they are using. This can change how they understand other people's thoughts.

3. Understanding Others:

   • Research shows that kids start to understand what other people are thinking around ages 4 to 5. This understanding is affected by the complexity of the language they hear as they grow, which helps them grasp what others might be feeling.

In short, language not only helps us talk but also changes how we see and understand the minds of others.
