Do you think your personality changes when you speak different languages?

Spoiler: For moi

A definite yes. I think I retained my childishness and cutesyness from my childhood in my Chinese, while my French self, is a lot more formal and reserved. As for English, I think everyone here has at least an inkling as to what I’m like irl lmao. I’m just slightly less hyper

Uh...

I think more about choice of words.

Some words sound way cooler in english.

A "whatever" is cool, but "tanto faz" sucks a lot

So I say more "pode ser" instead, which has become a meme where I work

Well I mean, I am too afraid to cuss in my mother language..

Not really, but I definetly swear a lot more Estonian!

I rarely say Fuck or other swearwords when speaking english, but when speaking estonian I quite often say faking (Basically fucking, said in an estonian accent...) I also use other estonian swearwords like kurat, paganama, persse, vittu and so on.

I love how you listed a bunch of swear words right there
My international swearing classes last year are quaking

I'm waaaay ruder in my native tongue... I've had to use English a lot with authorities and people older than me so I kinda got used to being more polite. My voice also gets higher when I speak in English so I guess that's also why it sounds friendlier? I know a few other languages in a sense that I'd survive but I don't think I'm good enough to have a distinct personality yet, lol.

wow we have the same swearwords here but the spelling differs a little, I got so confused when I suddenly understood what I read lol

 

[jasque]

In brazilian portuguese, the only ones that dont swear are the people on television

(I think in america even those curse lol)

 

[Mayday]

There was actually a study on this. Like most people, I also change personalities. I tend to be more uptight and polite than in English though.

 

[SapphireBlueSea]

speaking in my language it's diffrent from english i find it hard to express myself more in english and communicate also more cautious i'm not this good in it
and i don't swear in my language (it's not common to swear here only if you're really close and they don't mind it also if you are in a fight or a bad person ppl will look at you as a rude and not educated ) and in english not this much lol

You know, I've always been fascinated by Estonia. I've never been there, but I feel like it's the ultimate country. In way that, when aliens come to Earth, I'm 100% sure they'll land in Estonia, because any other choice would be dumb, and I don't think aliens are dumb.

really? I do agree about Estonia being the ultimate country, but how did you come to be so facinated about Estonia?

I used to listen to Finnish and Estonian music on German TV back in the 2000's, and then I searched some more on YT, and then I realized Estonian is the most beautiful language, alsooo nice flag and nice pointy roofs, so everything looks cozy
