How does language impact our thoughts?

Is it true that as English speakers we can view an object differently than a person who speaks German?
I recently have been intrigued by the correlation between language and thought. Chapter 8 discusses language, thinking, and reasoning, but my favorite part of the chapter is how language impacts our thoughts. The book gives an interesting example that the Inuits have approximately a thousand words for snow, so therefore they see minute differences among types of snow, unlike non-Inuits who would not perceive these variances. It is strange to think that just because Inuits have a plethora of words for snow, they are able to see things that we are not! The book debates whether this is in fact true, but nonetheless, the topic is fascinating!
Can the Inuits see something that we cannot???
I think this chapter will be interesting to understand the association between language and thought.
