Before I start, let me just say how much I've missed blogging. NOT! I don't miss it at all, matter of fact, I even thought about just stopping cause I got bored. Posting about random things isn't fun anymore, it's more of a chore. Plus with Ramathan, I barely have time to blog or update you and when I do have free time, I make sure that I'm either baking or cooking something for the sake of being productive.
For the sake of posting.. the other day, a friend and I made a deal that when we talk, we should be talking without including english words, even though we rarely do. It's all Kuwaiti from now on. Not even yes, no, ok, goodnight, thank you, you're welcome but instead we replaced it with ee, la, ti9bi7een 3ala khair, mashkoora, il3afo, etc... The only reason I blog in english is that so everyone can understand. Bas in reality I don't talk in english cause mala da3i. You're born Kuwaiti, your mother language is Kuwaiti, so why replace that with a foreign language? We talk to our parents, grandparents kuwaiti, bas why does that changes when you talk to your friends? It doesn't make any sense. Mu 3an shay, bas you know how to speak Kuwaiti, 3an idala3. There are kuwaiti words that A LOT of people our age have no idea what it means. Call me melodramatic, but I have a feeling that il kalam il kuwaiti il 3ateej will be wiped out and instead it'll be replaced with broadcast, blackberry, coffee. Goolaw gahwa laish coffee? I'm not saying I'm perfect, I still ask my grandmother what she means when she says something, but at least I'm making an effort. If you were born to kuwaiti parents, have lived in Kuwait for the most of your life then you have no excuse to dismiss your language. Just because you went to a private school does not give you the green light to talk in english.
P.S In my opinion, being a "chicken nugget" or "mit'amreka (americanized)" is not something to be proud of. It's kind of embarrassing.
