But what does it mean?

I can give you my layman's view - shortened form of saying "hai na" when asking a question.

What went through my head when doing it this time? The thought was that it made the post less formal and added some 'desi' flavor.

English with siblings, but we all speak Urdu and Punjabi mixed with parents.

With wife mainly Urdu and sometimes Punjabi, although she prefers Punjabi.

Some of my relatives speak Hindko and I got used to hearing it and understanding it.

Whenever I am in Pakistan, I switch to full Faisalabadi/Lahore Punjabi in a few days.

Teaching myself Farsi, which all my grandparents are fluent in. Learning a bit of Turkish also.

[Saddam Hussein]

I use the superior ancient semetic holy language Arabic spoken by over 500 million people

 

[M. Sarmad]

Punjabi most of the time, and with everyone.
Sometimes Urdu
Rarely speak English

.... crude villager type punjabi language of Gujranwala district.

Same here... But Punjabi spoken in our area has a little Kangri/Dogri accent touch..

I tried taking Arabic in college never really mastered the language just the basics for Turkish I use to watch Turkish TV news or just Turkish TV or read Turkish newspapers since it was in latin Farsi basically I tried doing the same

 

[Azadkashmir]

Default with my siblings and kids is English, unless we want to discuss something around the goray without them knowing.

With parents, elders, cousins from Pakistan I default to pahari/Mirpuri.

My wife and I talk in Mirpuri, but argue in English lolol

with you bro add me in. i mix it specially when talking technical.

We still love our siblings . Even though we know they r weird .

 

[Dubious]

Really? do you speak to your siblings in English? I cannot believe it.

Yes...we do. What's not to believe? We werent brought up in Pakistan and were not surrounded by family to be able to even speak proper Urdu. Why would we speak among ourselves in Urdu? I even read the Quran translation in English coz that is my strong language...

Some times, Arabic, little French here and there and a few words of Japanese as well
Multilingual & multi-continent family

With siblings not extended family

Now it makes sense.
