Yes "my mother tongue is heavier/more poetic than english" and all that, but have you also considered "my mother tongue is ten times funnier than english"?

Trying to find this one tumblr heritage post where someone was complaining about bilingual brain and how they see the direct translation of a word in both languages and then it details to hundreds of replies like (; and then another strange translation back to English.

One of the things I love so much about being bilingual is that I can understand double the amount of memes and laugh twice as much! But on the downside, no one else understands half of the memes I find…

Omg idk if you talk Spanish or if it’s just XXC, but with that little and wonderful doodle you gave me the amazing headcanon of XXC being bilingual and just randomly speaking Spanish out of nowhere and nobody understanding him
Tumblr media
[TL: XXC says "don't do coke in the bathroom"]
Shout out to the Spanish speaking MXTX fans. I don't think this is remotely what you wanted. (bonus below cut, TW: Drugs)

When saying goodbye to someone, my brain gets torn between saying "bye" and "dah" (an informal Indonesian word for "bye"), and I end up saying "Dye".
Which unfortunately also sounds like "Die".
Because of this linguistic mental mixup, I have, on multiple occasions, accidentally told my friends and parents to die.

heated argument Javier: DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW FRUSTRATING IT IS TO HAVE TO TRANSLATE EVERYTHING IN MY HEAD BEFORE I SAY IT?! YOU SHOULD TRY TALKING IN MY SHOES FOR ONE MILE! John: I think you meant- Javier: I know what I meant to mean! DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW SMART I AM IN SPANISH?!

if you did not grow up in a bilingual household watching the spanish dub version of the x-files then you missed the joy of hearing Mulder yelling "ESCULLAY"

Me taking German all the way up to German V in high school after a lifetime of knowing English as my first language: what the FUCK is a direct object???? What does past participle mean??? You mean to tell me there's a whole new conjugation depending on the TENSE???
My teacher: You know, English has the same stuff-
Me, who never understood it in my elementary & middle school English classes either: WHY DO LANGUAGES HAVE SO MANY RULES????? Who invented this shit????? I quit!
[to all the people who have the patience and effort to learn a new language, you are my heroes bc I'm still lost to this day 😭]
