Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Does anyone else speak a mix of their languages ever?
3·1 year agoTotally agreed, but that doesn’t only apply to arabs, as I personally notice a lot of italians (for example) doing it (mixing english with italian), and for both the motives are different whether it is globalization, colonization or the famous sense of western and/or white supermacy.
Personally i only do code switching with other multi-linguals, but other than that it would only seem pretentious and not very polite.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Sincere questions I find myself asking.
5·1 year agoI wasn’t talking about saying things publicly, i was pointing towards the fact that even private conversations would be surveilled, hence, any joke or discussion made would be question to suspicion without intended targeting.

7·1 year agoI speak english, italian and arabic. and it’s so much fun to switch between the three with other multi-linguals, personally sometimes i find it hard to switch to english after speaking italian for a long period of time, and when i read english text i tend to pronounce the numbers in italian as it feels much easier and makes more sense for me.
I think it’s overall a fun experience.
