In what language do you think?

[Deleted member 84247]

Same with English you just don't know the language well enough.

I know the language well enough to know that there aren't that many insults considered as curses or cuss words. At least not in modern English.

Oh, you wanted curse words specifically. You'd be right, that's not how our language is set up. The language does have a history of absolutely demolishing people in a nonrepetitive way, but "swearing" always used to be about an offensive way of using non-offensive words, so there aren't that many actual swear words in the language.

"I speak English to God, Filipino to the ladies, and Quenya for the horses."

No, seriously, I think in English whenever I speak to foreigners (I have to translate what I say for a second) or when I write. Filipino for my everyday conversation and dealings. And French for my greetings.

Just English. Ofc it's easier to talk to the locals in Filipino, even though I'm not as fluent with it, being a foreigner and someone who consumes mostly Japanese and English media. I feel more confident typing and conversing online through English, too.

It depends on who I'm talking to. If it's just in general or if I'm talking to someone who can speak English, then I think in English, but when I'm talking to my family, I speak in Mandarin Chinese.

Spanglish, with a bit of broken Japanese thrown in.

I speak native internally. But as long as you're multilingual, there are bound times when you suddenly speak in other language. Even if the language in question was broken, you're so compelled to use it because you can't see any other way to express that certain thought.

 

[TheKillingAlice]

I switch between English and German. If my brain thinks itself fancy, it will spice things up with Japanese.

 

[mysterious_cube]

Mostly English, but I can think in my native language (dutch) too

 

[RavenRunes]

English. Now and then I think in Geordie. Think it's the same language? I challenge you to come here and understand a single word anyone says to you
