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!"

I speak hindi, and honestly, my normal day to day speech is now 50% English, so much that I have to Google English words into hindi

Even for simple words like table I am like wtf was it in hindi again

English words are so common in Hindi nowadays that it is a very frequent occurrence....I for the life of me cannot remember what they call a table in Hindi, fuck.

I don't know Hindi at all but I feel confident saying that 'fuck' isn't the word for 'table' in that language.

I'm not so sure that Ikea hasn't named a table 'Fuck' yet though.
