This article examines the. strong version of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis to see whether language truly determines thought. Since Idioms and proverbs represent culture, animal idioms and proverbs in both English and Persian were collected from authoritative dictionaries, and, native speakers were asked to determine the connotation of each one to see whether it is positive, negative or neutral. It was found that the differences between these two languages on the part of idioms and proverbs are negligible and it is a strong support for the weak version of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis
