Full Version: Do You Think In Viet Or English?

Viets only, because yeah, this poll was designed for Viets. If a Chinese person voted other or English it totally skews the results, but if a Chinese person votes Viet, that person would be lying. Not good either way.

When i was small i remember thinking in Viet, then when i grew up i started to think in English.

Everyone is welcomed to give a reply and have input, but if your not Viet please null your vote.

EDIT: to be even more precise, people who can SPEAK viet should vote too. People who are part Viet should vote as well. But if you can't speak Viet, or you're 100% non-Viet blood, then null your Vote.

Thoughts are always in english, regardless of the situation, but I voice my thoughts in both languages. It just depends on who my intended audiance is.

I was referring more to like how you normally think. For example, right before you sleep and you think about what happened during the day or what you want to do in life or the next day, heck, maybe even ponder on the meaning of life. What language would you think in? Naturally.

Of course you think in Viet when you speak in Viet, but lets say your just thinking to yourself. Or you see a bunch of weird objects and you're trying to count them, what would you count in by natural instinct, or right before you sleep in which language would you think in and such.

Ah, it kind of depends on what I am thinking about. If I am thinking about a Vietnamese person or thing, then it's got to be Vietnamese. Like wise for the American thoughts.

You could still give your side of the story. Do you think in English or the language passed on to you by your parents?

ngo.ngochy

In English, mostly. I don't think I can think something like "What the !@#$ is wrong with that !@#$%" or anything in Vietnamese.
Nam Quoc Son Ha
I used to think in Viet when I was young. But now, it's increasingly in English.
DaiNamViet
I think English....
Agent Smith
I think in English, count in Vietnamese, and curse in both languages.
Johannjs
I vote other. Because I don' think in any language.

I perceive info in all languages I know. It's just like asking "in what language do you dream"? it's all perception and understanding it or not.
Rocky Cuong V
