@David Yes, I should have been more clear in my own stance on this. I of course make no presumption that concept can not be understood in one language over to another, but I find interest in the idea that some concepts become more important than others, and that context that is given weight in everyday conversation in one language is not as important in another.

This article that was shared with me is unfortunately in Swedish, but it brings to light some subtle differences in Finnish and Norwegian ways of describing spatial inference, and shows how research uncovered that this carries over to filmmaking for example.

I suppose gender is another one of those concepts that becomes interesting to me. Everyone understands gender, but in some languages it's not an important aspect of describing an event. It's easy then to assume that gender occupies the mind of some people more than others, if one is forced to consider it each time one is describing an event to another person. Not saying that is the case every time, but for me it's part of understanding that there are many factors playing into how different perspectives are formed.
