I do this all the time lol. My husband's native language is Ukrainian and mine is Danish, but we speak to each other in English, and sometimes we can't even understand what the other person is trying to say. 🤣

@Nightwings Body language works great at times, or frustratingly pointing at something and asking "what am I trying to say???"😂

@Cassieeeee Lmao! Asking the other person what you're trying to say is too relatable! 🤣

I know enough Spanish to carry a conversation, but whenever I’m speaking it, I’ll know the words and whatnot but will sometimes struggle with how to properly phrase them. I imagine my sentences in Spanish have come out similar to that plenty of times. 😅

My favorite was when my grandmother told me I have to come with my grandfather, but instead of saying "with" she used the German "mit" and ended up saying I have to "come mit him," which sounds like she was telling me to commit him.

@BohemianBabe I grew up to my great grandma asking if we wanted "sprit-e lite" cause she couldn't say sprite light 🥹😂 It's a good memory 🥹

@Pretzel slang, "thingy" is an informal word used to refer to something whose name is unknown, forgotten, or when you can't be bothered to use the correct term. It's a general placeholder for a small item, device, or even an event, especially when you don't have the specific word for it.
