Language notes
languages other than English. This applies to
private messages as well as social media posts.
✧ We are interested in learning other languages! So far, we have only studied German, but we have plans to learn other languages, including French, Spanish, and Russian.
✧ We practice languages by using them in English conversations or making posts in them on social media. We put translations [in brackets].
✧ If the message is not in English at all, it will be translated in its entirely at the end of the message but NOT italicized.
✧ If most of the message is in English but part of it is in another language, the non-English part of the message will be italicized and the translation given immediately following, even if it is mid-sentence.
✧ English used in sentences that are otherwise in another language will be italicized.
✧ We translate all foreign language use except for usually not translating the following German words/phrases: Guten Tag [hello], Guten Morgen [good morning], ja [yes], nein [no], and danke [thank you].
✧ Additionally, we may stop translating certain words and phrases with individual friends if it becomes clear to us that they have become familiar with those words or phrases.
✧ We use neopronouns in other languages! Please see this page for information about that.
✧ If you know any of the languages we use, please feel free to message in them and/or correct us if our use of the language is wrong!
