In What Language Do You Think? by Nobody: 1:39am On Oct 23, 2014
I'm just curious as people are becoming multi-lingual, wanted to ask, in what language do you think? As for me, I speak english and yoruba languages fluently, and also, a little bit of french. However I think in english. What about you?

I don't think it is possible to think in igbo if you speak english because igbo those not have enough words to use. For example if you are thinking of the colours in a rainbow how would you think of it in igbo.

cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy funny thread.

I think in English darling...and I always thought its a bit strange. So I'm glad its quiet common to think in a language you use the most in multi lingual people.

I think in English but more often than not, some of my thoughts are in yoruba, especially those times when my thoughts are specifically emphatic or when I'm appreciating things and an anglais adjective doesn't capture it.

I've also try to imagine whose voice we use in our head when chatting.
