that’s awesome!

it is if you try hard enough

Jeg studerer norsk også :) Hei

Learning Norwegian, det kan vi også 😜

ohhh i get it, thanks!

I only know some Arabic, Russian, and English, so I’m usually comfortable with just Russian and English. As someone who used to be transfem, I had to get used to changing the way I said things in Russian and Arabic now that I’m a man.

For example, if I was an alcoholic as a woman, in Russian I’d be алкоголичка, but as a man, I’d be алкоголик. If I’m tired now, I’d be устал, but as a woman, I’d have been устала.

In Arabic (Standard Arabic), if you want to ask a woman her name formally, you ask “ ما اسمك؟” (ma ismuki), but you say ma ismuka to a man.

They are quite interesting. We mainly speak English there as it’s a common language and everyone speaks it. I barely know any Hebrew despite my mom being from Israel.

My dad came to the U.S. with his family at a young age, as did my mom. They actually went to school together but didn’t really talk or pursue each other until MUCH later.

Mom was a year older
