Well, I only use anglicisms if it's a word that's used in preference to the native one. Example; emparedado vs sandwich.
THAT'S THE BEST STRATEGY

And there are a few exceptions where the generally preferred word is an anglicism and yet I prefer the native one; example camión vs truck.
I AM THE SAME

I was trying to think about my mom but she's basically spoken english to me my entire life


I feel like though from what i remember being in India, it's pretty common to mix in english phrases and words with Hindi. Though, I'm not sure about replacing words exactly ^^;

I am jealous of bilingual people. I wish I grew up with people speaking Hindi to me but ig my mom never saw a reason to since everyone else around me spoke English only. It's okay though. Maybe i can learn on my own someday.

I don't see it with a good eye, really. We are losing our own language :kijoongstare:
Tbh I don't think dropping random English words makes you any cooler. It kinds makes the opposite effect to me

Language is weird. Ig with how globalized are world is becoming, maybe this kind of evolution is inevitable. But ofc, you don't want to forget your roots or lose the language altogether.

It is not really a good thing tho. I don't see how globalisation is a good thing, when it imposes a single "international" language.
I think it would be better if everyone spoke four languages and all would have same power globally. Don't you think so?
We are losing our diversity... Languages are dying...

Yeah it's not great to force people to adapt to one way and forget the old completely. I don't want to come off as boomer as say progress is bad, but it would be nice if one side wasn't so dominant....
