ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Language and thought

Language and thought are how we communicate what we are thinking. Language is like a bridge between our thoughts and the thoughts of other people. It's how we express our ideas, opinions, and experiences with each other. And it helps us to think as well - when we talk to someone, we can hear their ideas and use that to think of our own. Thinking is the process of using language and ideas to think about the world and make decisions.
