We are multilinguals, of course...
(Lets do this tiktok trend, in writing and late, because who gives a fuck, i certainly don't)
We are multilinguals, of course every website we are on asks us if we want it to be translated into another one of our languages.
We are multilinguals, of course we remember that specific word we are looking for in every language except the one we are currently speaking.
We are multilinguals, of course every website randomly decides what language it should be in.
We are multilinguals, of course we mix up our idioms on accident.
We are multilinguals, of course we mix up our idioms on purpose, 'cause its funny.
We are multilinguals, of course we don't know what language to use when answering the phone from an unknown number.
We are multilinguals, of course people who find out ask you to 'say something in that language', leaving us completly lost as to what to say.
We are multilinguals, of course every timne we write using word, the wrong language is used for correction.
#disclaimer: the languages I speak fluently are all considered to be of high prestige where I live (and around the world too)#so this is probably really different for people speaking minority and lower prestige languages#like if the language comuntity is not big enough to have translations of word programs and websites#also I am very aware that the answering the phone from unknown numbers thing is not something every one does#but i have a tendency to not have all numbers saved so i do answer#linugistics#multilingual#multilinguism#also in case you're wondering my languages are french german english and a german dialect that i will not specify further
