Good afternoon everyone, I hope you’re doing fine.

My definition of language is exactly the same definition that you gave in your post but also I think that covers many things that work side by side to transmit an idea, thought and feeling; our gestures and body language play an important role at the time to communicate, they have to be aligned with the other to really convey what we think and feel because if they do not, people will think that we are lying and probably that will create problems in our relationships with the others. Words work like a two-edged sword and can affect people’s live and the bonds that we have with the people we really love, sometimes is not what we say if not how we say it, usually people when are angry they do not think of how their words will hurt the other one so I think that we should just take a moment to breath and think how to communicate in an assertive way our discontent, I read a phrase that says ,”do not promise when you are happy, do not respond when you are angry, do not decide when you are sad”, words can change everything in just a second and it could have horrible consequences or beautiful results if you do not let yourself be carried away by your emotions.

Have a nice afternoon.

Hello, good evening.
From my point of view and based on what you have shared with us, I think that language and words have the power to commit us in any situation since they affect the perception that others have of us, they represent who we are. That is why we must be careful when we want to transmit a message because it can hurt or heal.
In addition, I think that words have the potential to influence our behavior and our mood. We must recognize that words contain deep and influential meanings.

Hello guys!
I couldn’t agree with you more, because all the languages have the same purpose and it is to transmit the different thoughts we have, on the other hand, we can say that with words you cannot only build but also destroy and more if we talk about feelings, it means that words can destroy a person since inside them, that’s why we should choose carefully the words we are going to use when we are in a conversation. But there are other ways to say something, and those are related to the body language and the tone of voice, because sometimes is not related to what you say, it is more about the way you say it.

Hi! For sure, I also considere words have power. Words by itself does not have a significant impact, what really give them an impact is what is beyond the words, since the tone of voice, or body language, beside your actitud may interrupt the message. For example, let's suppose you have to announce good news to your friends, if your attitude seems disinterested, the reception of the message will also be disinterested.

Hello Anita!

Focusing on the theme that words have power, I think that for me the weight and influence of words and what we say is greater than we think. I feel that they can destroy and create. Sometimes a single word can change everything, by this I mean aspects of life such as mood and decision making. That is why it is important to take care of what we say, since as my mother says "what you confess with your mouth, that will be"

Hello Mel,
I really like your comment, honestly I agree with you, becuase some people don't weigh their words and this can affect to the other people.
Also, I love your phras  ❤

Hello, hello.
Well, I consider that the definition of language is alright! because we use the language every day to communicate what we are feeling or thinking about or until to make recommendation about our lives.
On the other hand, words are really strong and power and i agree with you about words can build or destroy emotions or feelings. I have been thinking about what will happen if we use our knowledge about the language andevery day we say positive phrases to people that we don't know or you can say it to you when you are looking at mirror, everything would be better.
At the end, I just want to say that leanguage a channel where you can change a little bit society and yourself learning from other people's culture.
Thanks.

That's right words are a unique and great  way  to communicate with them, is also a way to share with different countries,religions,and customs. Besides they work to  express what you feel and think to the rest of the world and the amazing part is that you don't need to use complete sentences so that others can understand what you need. That's why those tiny strokes that at times are written on a paper and others are pronounce in mouths are so magnificent and powerful that could destroy entires countries or unite them.

Hi! Thank for your comment
I agree with you,words have power don't only when we talk if not when we write  too.

My definition of language is the way that people can express their opinions, feelings, and other things that they want through their voice, words, and actions. There are other definitions and different types of language that people use every day in different situations, for example, Henry Sweet said that” language is the expression of ideas by means of speech-sounds combined into words. Words are combined into sentences, this combination answering to that of ideas into thoughts” and American Linguists Bernard Bloch and George L. define it as “a system of arbitrary vocal symbols by means of which a social group cooperates”

According to the image, “The words have power” I think that is true because sometimes people say something that can affect positively or negatively in the life of these people. Also, I think that depends too on the way they are transmitted and their body language, their facial expression, and tone of voice at the time of expressing or saying something, because it can affect other.

But, what is your definition and what do you think about this image?
