it's a well-known fact among our circle that my partner speaks half-greek half-english without realizing (a true bilingual, in a sense) and he's always shat on for it by our friends that are not very fluent in english. Given that, I've been living under the illusion that his greek must not be as sharp? Seeing as he is not exercising it instinctively? And always switches to english for more technical/politically advanced discussions?
But today he showed me a post he made on a greek politics subreddit and tell me why this shit is better written than most articles in current newspapers. I feel like shit now.
#partnertypes im sorry i was unaware of your game#all the poems and birthday cards you've written me are in english#SOME IN JAPANESE.#all your creative writing is in english#half your texts are in english#how was i supposed to know you can pull words like παραδοπιστία#and φωτεινό άλως#out the backlog#i sound so dumb saying this#thinking that my partner cant speak his native tongue all that well#but you guys ive spent two years with this person unable to string more than 20 consequitive greek words in a live conversation#so i was just like.....i dont know#i mean#I think I HAVE lost my ability to speak greek expertly#or i just think i sound way smarter in english#because it's easier#So i guess i was projecting#glad to know he language mogs me#in....3 languages now...#yaplord ito yaps
