>>11554343>>11554323>>11554315I speak 6 languages. Some concepts exist solely in 1 language, or are absent from others.
The word "cheap" does not exist in french.
Some other concepts are more developed in certain languages. For instance there are two words, one feminine, one masculine, for all "supreme" concepts like God or the State in Albanian.
Albanian also has different words for all parents, lineage or "race" related positions depending if it's from the maternal or paternal side.
For instance, "fis" is your patrilineal lineage and "farë" (meaning seed) is your matrilineal lineage. Dajë is your mother"s brother while Xhaxha is your father's brother.
Some languages use extensive qualifications for their interactions. You can say "you" in 6 different ways, of 7 if you're from south America ("vos"), in spanish as opposed to only 1 in English.
I'd say the prime benefits are on social ability and verbal IQ. It's also better to read important litterature and philosophy / science in their original language, you grasp the concepts A LOT better.
If you plan on learning languages, you need 1 germanic, 1 latin, 1 slavic, 1 proto-euro (greek, albanian or armenian) and 1 indo-aryan, maybe 1 celtic if the latin one isnt french/spanish, to fully grasp on the broadly European language, including your own. Once you start drawing parallels between russian and french for instance, you're ready to read Tolstoï or Camus and fully comprehend their train of thought.
