<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hachyderm.io/@liztai" class="u-url mention">@<span>liztai</span></a></span> it&#39;s really very interesting and charming - my in-laws and wife always use &quot;kuali&quot; to refer to a wok, no matter which language they&#39;re speaking in. I&#39;m not sure if they know the Mandarin word for it - I sure don&#39;t!</p>

I&#39;m unaware of any partisan differences in U.S. foreign policy that would favor India (not fact checked). India won&#39;t break a Watergate but otherwise . . .</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://musicians.today/@mcmullin" class="u-url mention">@<span>mcmullin</span></a></span> yea most Malaysians pepper Malay, Mandarin, Tamil or other dialects in their English. Sometimes they switch to another language midway. Didn&#39;t realize how weird that is until I was in Australia and people keep reminding me to speak English 😆</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hachyderm.io/@liztai" class="u-url mention">@<span>liztai</span></a></span> <br />I’ve always been curious about this. In my home now we speak English and Mandarin, but only my wife is fully fluent in both, so her parents and I each speak to each other with a different proportional mixture of the two, either switching back and forth, using a stray word from the other language here and there, or using the vocabulary of one with the grammatical structure of the other.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hachyderm.io/@liztai" class="u-url mention">@<span>liztai</span></a></span> that&#39;s very interesting, thanks! I&#39;ve had it a few times where you&#39;re speaking to a friend with whom you might use one of a few languages and then you can&#39;t quite work out which it was language you were just speaking :)</p>

Yikes!
