And to answer your question: Maybe? I am not really sure I know only of
a single empiric study testing the weak version of the Sapir-Whorf
hypothesis. The finding is: Your native language indeed kinda
shapes your thought. But this effect, the so-called Whorfian effect is
quickly gone as soon as one knows more than just one's native language.

One important note: although for certain constructs the effect is gone it can still remain in other fields until one learns alternatives in those fields or find limitations in them.
