Aaliyyah Posted February 20, 2012 I always think in English - although I speak three other languages and its the fourth language I was exposed to as a teenager. I guess spending half of my life here made that happen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lately, i have opened a store in la.today, i had my first somali customers!! 2 tids came in, first thing they said was, ar kan yamani waaye!! I said, habarta.....! just kidding. I correct them & told that I was Somali all the way!! Next q's...u know what it was? I just said, i dont like to talk about that crap. they wanned computer services, they ask me if they can bring the money when picking up their laptop! I told them no, they gotta pay now or get the hell outta of Dodge city!! lol...but in nice way. I told them to come back when they got the money!! lol........i charge them lil extra cuz i know that even when we fix their shyte, they gonna complain more!! I told them to upgrade their laptops to win7 for $250 per machine. Their systems were running Vista. I dont fool around with TDs!! Their brains dont work.

Sensei Posted February 21, 2012 Malika- Do not mean to be facetious but that is the only time I do without language. Ahmed Diidaat once once asked of his native language, answered(paraphrased) : Not sure, but I dream and curse in English. In my case, I guess, I dream in English/Somali and curse in Urdu.

NGONGE Posted February 22, 2012 Depends on what you're thinking about. I even sometimes "think" in languages that I don't even speak. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Narniah Posted February 22, 2012 I don't think I think in any language tbh. I just think. Dreaming is another story, that I do in several languages. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
