Does the language and its sound, grammar etc. influence the mindset,

It does. I saw some studies I don't have on hand anymore, but there are lots of examples of concepts that simply exist in one language and not in another. Like how Spanish speakers don't know what love is ;)

The whole concept of "closure vs. justice" does not exist in German speaking countries because there's simply not any word for such a concept.

>>9140722

that's bullshit.

but the german counterpart concept of closure is more literally "to close a transaction", through just and appropriate vengeance.

that's called "slapstick comedy" in english. just because you don't have a word for it doesn't mean you don't have the concept of "schadenfreude"

Influence, yes, but its only a mild influence. Different cultures are perfectly able to comprehend one another, there's no real barrier to meaning a la Sapir-Worf. We don't think in words at all, but in images and in abstractions.

Schadenfreude means to take pleasure in another's misfortune generally, not just laughing when babby goes boom boom. You're right that the English have this concept, wrong that its slapstick. English doesn't have a single WORD for this concept, but then German doesn't really either, "schaden-freude" is two words glued together in the usual autistic German fashion.
