It gets worse when you know more than two languages, even moreso when they overlap. I've had numerous times when my brain freezes and goes "Was that the word for it in Italian... or Spanish...? Which one is it?" check "They're the same! FUCK!"
41 u/SuccessValuable6924 Sep 02 '24 And the reverse "I'll just say it in Italian, must be the same as Spanish" and then you get punched in the face. 40 u/2074red2074 Sep 02 '24 This is a huge trap in French. The literal translation of "excited" is excité(e) and that's what Google Translate will tell you. But in French, excité(e) means excited in the sexual sense, like horny. 17 u/wicosp Sep 02 '24 Same in Italian, btw. Do not say sono eccitato if you’re not ready to get frisky.
