Do you have to be fluent in these languages to be a polyglot, or am I considered one? (thelemmy.club)

I can confidently say that I speak Portuguese, Spanish, and English to varying degrees. However, at a beginner level, I know Norwegian, Italian, and Polish. I also am probably at a very beginner level in Russian and French, both of which I’m learning and getting better at. I’m conversing with French people.

My fiancé says I’m a polyglot, but I don’t know if I’m just trilingual or not.

Only people who speak more languages or that feel like their intellect is somehow under threat by you claiming the title will try to gatekeep you from using it, so don't worry.

Edit: Also, you're not a polyglot because that would make me look bad. Have a nice day.
