I get it, I just still think it's rude and avoid doing so myself.

It's rude for spouses to have a private conversation? Would whispering be better? Would it be better if they hid in a cupboard where no one could see them?

[โ€“] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yes, it's generally considered rude to switch languages specifically to hide your conversation.

It's because most will assume you are doing it to talk shit.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Sure, if people suddenly switched languages and then laughed in my face, I would feel bad.

But if it's like the other comments in this post, and it's a couple having a quick word about a private matter, I wouldn't mind. It's not like I should be a part of that conversation

[โ€“] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Which they are.

Agree, it's rude af.
