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 11 months 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 11 months 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 11 months ago (1 children)

Which they are.

Agree, it's rude af.
