Lately, i've been reading some fanfictions of a famous anime. There is one fanfiction that is really interesting, the main role has a condition called Synesthesia. The one who have this condition called Synesthetes. I began to wonder if there are people like that, so i googled it. And it's true, though only small part of people in the world who have this ability.

Synesthesia is a phenomenon where a person's senses cross-wired. When one sensory of a person is stimulated by something, automatically, the second sensory also sense that stimulation. For example, when we hear a sound, we can "see" the sound too. Get it?

There are 5 forms of synesthesia, Grapheme, Sound, Number Form, Personification, and Lexical. The most common form is grapheme--> Colour synesthesia. A person can see individual letter, such as alphabets and numbers that are "shaded" or "tinged" with color. Usually, "A" is most likely shaded with red color. So, when this person is reading words, actually he is reading colours.

Another common form of synesthesia is Sound-->Colour Synesthesia. A sound synesthete can see some shapes and colours, when they heard sound, voice, or even music orchestra. Some synesthete agreed that louder tones are brighter than soft tones or higher notes are smaller in shape and brighter than the lower notes. A sound synesthete can see each different colours from different voices that comes out from each different people.

The number form is a mental map of number when a synesthete think or see numbers. Personification is a form when a synesthete see or hear numbers or alphabets and then, describe / personalized them. For example: 3 is so serious, while 0 is pretty, smart and kind, K is a female, she is quiet but have a big responsible.
The lexical form is a condition where a synesthete hear, say or inner speech, they can immediately taste the words. For example: blue taste inky, love taste like chocolate.

If i've got to meet synesthete, i'll be very happy, because i can ask them about what my voice's colour, or maybe what my name taste like. I think, synesthetes are not weird people. They just have one extra feature for themselves. They also see what we see, taste what we taste, hear what we hear, but they do all of them in a different angle.
