Hello! I'm writing an essay about how the language we speak shapes the way we think. I found some differences between how Spanish and English people name some feelings and I wanted to find out whether this affect the way we feel them or not. Thank you so much! (Only English-speakers please).

Re: English survey
Sorry Albapoulain, I did try to answer but I couldn't work out what the survey was asking for. Is it:
a. a list of verbs which the definition could plausibly fit?
b. any single verb which the definition could plausibly fit?
c. the single verb which is the best fit to the definition?
d. a single verb for which the given definition would be an apt dictionary definition?
e. something else?
And must all the answers be different from each other?

The Sapir Whorf Hypothesis, at least in its stronger variants, has been pretty thoroughly debunked.

My interpretation was c.) or d.) and no to the last question, not that it matters too much.
I didn't choose to answer .. you could easily write "like" for all the answers or break out your inner thesaurus and go wild.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
