We use language to encode and decode our thoughts in order to transfer or exchange them with others. So you have a set of tools, pretty similar to the people around you. When you think of something and want to tell someone, you must express the thought using words that you know. That person must also know those same words and agree on their meaning. We also associate words with one another. These associations are very different for different people and can easily affect the personal meaning of the spoken word. We will never truly understand what someone is feeling by words alone.
