You jesus hating degenerates!

I only talk one language at a time!

[-] frezik@midwest.social 7 points 2 days ago

And it's English, just like Jesus spoke.

Citation needed

As a good Lutheran, I read the bible and Jesus speaks German all the time

[-] FundMECFSResearch 3 points 2 days ago

Now slow down there buckaroo.

I said I only speak one language at a time.

Men have needs. And I need many languages to keep me satisfied. I’m a good christian though so I only speak one at a time.

(/s, although my native language is not english)

"It's just a phrase" you mean!

I'm not homolingual but I am spanish-curious

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

it’s actually impossible to be bilingual because you can only ever be speaking at most one language at a time

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

"Do you speak both English and Spanish?"

"No."

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 days ago

"What about Czech?"

[-] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 days ago

Language hybrids and creoles exist, you could make an argument that those are "speaking two languages at the same time"

Bilingual people do sometimes speak in a mixture of multiple languages to people who speak the same languages

Me, trying to sound cool as an aromantic asexual atheist:

Actually I'm alingual as well

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

aromantic

I had to read that several times to understand how organic chemistry relates to your post.

[-] EldritchFeminity 8 points 2 days ago

Can't somebody smell nice without having to bring chemistry into the equation?

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Hum... Actually, no.

I experimented with French for four years in late high school/early college, but didn't we all? I feel like I got it out of my system. I don't even really think about that stuff anymore.

I think it's in reference to how bi people are often told they are being "greedy" for wanting all/both sexes rather than just having the '"one" the speaker expects. This usually then leads to the misguided conclusion that they are promiscuous and unfaithful - https://lgbtqiacounseling.com/bisexual/bisexual-stereotypes/#Bisexuals_are_Greedy_or_Unable_to_Commit

Something something "tower of Babel."

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 days ago

So what am I, being trilingual?

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 days ago
[-] OrnateLuna 15 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

You are even more confused, there are only 2 languages

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Aw fuck. Which one is made-up?

[-] Jyek@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 days ago

You better be Mormon. Polyglotimy is only allowed for them for some reason.

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)
[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

I'm up!

What about three trilinguals at the same time?

[-] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Entire comments and jokes as hashtags is the most Tumblr thing

[-] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

What's "heterolingual"? You can only talk to people who speak a different language than the one you use?

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Like Han and Chewbacca.

Pidgins are languages in their own rights. Maybe code switching would fit better but actually no, that's on the spectrum of bilingualism.

Edit: since pidgins (unlike creoles) aren't used as primary languages, I guess I now get what you mean
