It´s really interesting how culture and language are closely connected...
For example, in Chinese there´s no an ´individual subject´ like ´I´ ,´je´or ´yo´...because Chinese people don´t think of themselves as individuals, but as groups...
In most African languages the word ´foreigner´ is translated as ´mzungu´ which actually means ´western white-skin foreigner´, because those are ´foreigners´ to them..., the term ´mzungu´ doesn´t apply to the Hindu or the Chinese, who share with them the every day life...

There´s one theory that says that Language determines Culture, or is it the other way around..?

What do you think?
