sounds funny but it is a fact all languages are negetive. and no language is rich enough to explain the 5 senses namely sight,sound,taste, tiuch and smell.can you explain the smell of rose to a person who has never seen or smelled rose?can you explain the tase of honey to a man who has never tased honey in words?not possible. you can teach only by negetive metod telling honey is not the taste of sugar not of fruit juice so on and on. when we say this is elephant we really mean is it is not a cow. not a lion not a giraffe etc. so it is the negetivism which is the foremost description of any language

A very funny perspective if I may say so. If language could indeed describe everything, we would not have needed our sensory organs at all. The purpose of language is to communicate and describe to others what you feel, not the ‘feeling’ itself. Our five sensory organs do the ‘feeling’ for us.
