English

[Prince of China]

I think in English. But if I remained in China where my I wouldn't forget most (90%) of my Mandarin, I would think in Mandarin.

I lived in Brazil for a year, about 6-7 years ago.
I was about eleven years old and I went to an english/american school there...
I tell you, when we were moving back home to sweden I could barely remember any swedish, I had actually started to think in english fulltime!

It still happens that I can't remember the swedish word, so I use the english word instead.. One of my friends is the same, so we can pretty much have whole conversations in mixed swedish and english!

Wonder if Swedish will disappear..? Everybody here knows english anyways..

 

[Varg|Hund]

I'm half-english, so I think in english all the time

 

[venturon]

I think in Latin! Beat that!

I think in Sumerian. Consider yourself beaten

For most things I think in English, but for some objects that I learn the names of in other languages I think of in the corresponding language. For example: Pfeffernuse (German), or Gayung (Indo).

I like english better than dutch, so I often think in english. I do have to mix a bit of dutch in at times when doing so, and if I'm talking dutch I think dutch as well.

About dutch vs. old english, if we're talking about the same old english, it is sort of similar. Certain vowels are pronounced in a more dutch/'germanic' way which makes it sound less english and more dutch/german.

 

[Sprafa]

I think in English. It started as an experiment, but then it evolved into an addiction.

"The slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts."
~George Orwell

I try not to think in any language, doing so tends to limit the types of thoughts you can have. Basically any thought you have will be a re-run of somebody else's thought. Of course I'm kinda having a hard time expressing what I mean in english. Also this is why some slang is actually a good thing.

Just to explain the "korvben" thingy i talked about earlier.

Korv = sausage
Ben = Leg or bone

We love to connect words with each other here, so you can make up new words all the time. Korvben would mean sausage leg/bone (ewww) and isnt really a Swedish word... we dont have legs on our sausages mind you

Wow, I've never heard of that one.
Although Sweden is a pretty small country, the dialects change alot from north and south.
Norrländska is the best, I love how the words are combined.
Can't imagine somebody from i.e. the states trying to understand norrländska, or even worse, skånska.

Aw, to bad.
Thought that it could be a food of some kind, it's varies so much.
95% that I've spoke with from south of Sweden never even had a real palt or a nice parisare.

 

[Maxi]

Bingolotto?

Exactly, that show owns! I never understand where the hell they get the money to throw away all that stuff, it's mindboggoling.

One time they gave away like 3 cars and a few vacations and alot of otherstuff.

 

[moppe]

Bingolotto?

GAH!
Go away.

You're the only person who actully enjoys watching Bingolotto.
I don't know if you live in Finnland at present time, but the avarage Svensson hates Bingolotto.

Palt? Ohgodno :|
/me runs.

I wish I could speak Norrländska or Göteborgska properly, I hate my current dialect. Ever heard Östgötska? Linköping and ölburk and brödrost. See where I'm going with this?

Real palt is the most perfect food in the universe.
Östgötska must really be hard.
Svenska:
Hej, jag heter moppe och mår bra.
Norrländska:
Hej, ja hete moppe å mår ba bra.
But well, you got to know how to say it.

 

[Champ]

It often happens that when talking with my friends and such I need a specific word, but I can only remember it in english. Also swearing is alot nicer in English (Serbian is the coolest though)

[Atomi]

I live in Finland and consider myself good at English. I think in Finnish of course, it's my first language and the one I love so dearly.
