Forgetting a language/skill/knowledge you once knew/had - do you care?

[BVSNet]

Apparently not caring is a terrible thing Shows a general disregard for your memory


Isn't that such an over the top point of view or do you agree?

In my primary school I used to drew like a professional and now I can't even draw a house

And my Arabic handwriting was and now I write like a toddler

[BVSNet]

You care

When I was young I used to speak Arabic, Kiswahili and a bit of French. I was not good in Somali by then. Now I have forgotten Arabic quite a lot and Kiswahili I hate it so I never cared whether I forgot it or not. The reason being, I was not using these two languages most of the times. At home we were only speaking English and Somali. I improved my Somali now. Alxamdulillah.

PS: French is totally gone

[BVSNet]

Why do you hate Kiswahili lol

I couldn't learn it fast enough, so eventually I gave up on it and purposely lost what I have learnt. I speak a broken one now, only when I want to though

You care

I do.

I sucked at it when I was in school, learning it and doing exams in it so it's no wonder that I remember very little now. It doesn't even bother me

I used to know how to solve for moles and stuff in Chemistry, now I'd have to google it. When the homo erectus was around, where and what tools they used....

maybe it's about knowing what you don't know that's the point and not actually remembering every single fact that enters your mind

You care

I do.

then that must suck

I am slowly forgetting Af-Somali as I barely use it in my day to day life.

Taas wax dhici karo maaha. Hada kabacdi waa in aad af Somaali ku qortid markaad forumka soo geshid.


To be fair all you have to do is not skip over it when someone posts in Somali. Don't skip over the article that's in Somali and you'll be okay

Maybe it's a conspiracy to make all our brains useless at remembering stuff

I do mix Arabic with Amharic sometimes, as I did when I was giving an interview to an Arabic channel, luckily the host didn't notice.
