  • @eliasola4life She said she was in Cameroon several years ago, and she didn't mention in what city I think, so maybe at the time and place there weren't televisions. I live in Peru. Many people have a television where I live, but there are still small villages in the mountains that don't have electricity, much less television.

  • @Fahrstuhlgeist the fact and response i made to this stays and focuses on the subject about her saying they do not have televisions to know about snow(she could have just said they do not have a word for snow because they do not see it) Of course she is not spreading lies on the video its jst a stereotypical comment for her to say that......and btw i come from there so I know.........

  • the part where she talks about the people in Cameroon not seeind or knowing snow because they do not have televisions is a stereotypical comment. And changing the word as white as snow to as white as goatmilk changes the whole concept... Please they know about snow and they have television. please they do not live in the bush..

  • @XxJurzk1d31xX cute, hot, sexy, handsome, beautiful THERE ARE YOUR 5!!! We only care about looks xD

  • She just bull shitted that 10 minutes

  • great work, I've to do presentation about this theory and this video helped me much, thnx!

  • great i'm no english major but im pretty sure we dont even have 5 words for the same thing....soooooooooooo does that mean we don't care about anything...lmfao

  • I don't have the same thoughts as everyone else that speaks English, so linguistic relativism isn't true. The weak argument could be true, but the strong argument isn't. There were some researchers using Hopi as an example for the strong argument, but that's been debunked.

  • Thank you, so easy, better than reading in those creasy books

  • thank you very deep very well done
