Story text

A study looked at how people from different cultures describe what they see, taste, and smell. They found important differences. For example, English speakers could easily name colors and shapes, like "triangle" or "green." On the other hand, they found it difficult to describe tastes, using a variety of words to describe the simple taste of bitter water. Similarly, speakers of Farsi, Lao, and Cantonese, who eat a variety of flavorful foods, easily agreed on words for tastes. Some languages, like Umpila from Australia, don't have many words for colors but are good at describing smells. This shows that our culture and way of life can really change how we see and talk about the world.
