What format are thoughts?

Do we remember things in images, words, feelings, or something else?
What I mean by this is when we think of something lets take “I love you” for an example, do we remember the words, a image, or feelings?
This questions comes from thread
Could we understand someone else’s thoughts if they spoke a different language?

I personally would go with we remember with feelings and them feelings can rekindle words and images. Feelings does seem like a cop out because it is such a vague concept, the only reason I don’t go with words is because as this would make sense with nouns with adverbs how could this be done? Plus if we remember in words what about someone with no language? Can they not remember things or would it them be in a different format (if you could say format)

I really don’t know, help?
