not to be a classic balkan raised kid but like.. it makes me so upset when a culture is actually so so so so rich and unique and and and... yet over the years its language evolved to have so many english words that obviously at some point replaced the corresponding word in that language. i don't even mean it in a west hating way or a nationalist way but just.. doesn't it make you tear up a little?? to let a word die just so you can use the english version for whatever reason?? it makes me so sad to think about it words are like little humans to me

#and it's fine to use eng words im not here to be a purist but im saying dont let the actual word go yk??#even when u dont use it as often just make sure that it's still the default guy for that word in that language in your lexicon #every word has so much history and fun little things about it if u care to dig a little it literally is a lil human #dont study what u dont love but dont study what u love either you either develop anger issues or live with constant grief (probably both)#linguistics #translation
