I am sure I experience synesthesia as I have associated shapes and images in my head associated with numbers, letters, words, basically anything that relates to language. These associations mostly appear to be things I experienced at the same time learning a word or an early association. Some are almost geometric colorful shapes, not solid colored but a rainbow gradient, and may move or be animated like a bursting color orb. Some are motion oriented and I cant describe them. It's almost as if the word is invisibly dancing in my mind with a shape I cannot see.
A silly example I have is the word shit. When I was a child curse words were not spoken at home but at my fathers shop were regular experiences. I was maybe 3 or 4 when an employee of my fathers was using some kind of wooden square frame with a lever on top and spring. It was some kind of press to stamp logos or something. I was playing on a portable staircase nearby when he squeezed the lever and then yelled "SHIT!". So now when I hear shit I see a vague image of this mans face and/or a square frame with a lever being pushed. If I think about the word I see my fathers early shop and remember that portable staircase.
The word fuck has a very odd animation in my head. I see what is a squarish human skull being held by the jaw and flipped upward 90 degrees by flicking the wrist holding it.
