imagine if they all had to contend with honorifics on too hot to handle 😆
#watching singles inferno & thinking about how its just different when the whole way you communicate changes based on age/business rank etc#like does the drama of the show translate to different cultures or is it like watching P&P and not#getting why it’s so nuts that mr darcy holds kiera knightlys hand when getting her on the buggy#idk#like when they go to paradise island it’s actually a wild game mechanic in that…#they have to keep age and occupation a secret on inferno island but they can tell one another on paradise island#when you live/communicate in a country that uses honorifics it’s just a matter of code switching and it’s pretty easy but like#if you take a step back it’s kinda wild to imagine what it would be like if it was of a differently oriented country#like if youre not accustomed to honorifics..#like imagine going to an island and suddenly having to change the way you speak to a person!#idk idk i just love the complexities of it all#and this has always been a thing for similar dating shows… like i think about Ainori or even Terrace House#but with singles inferno the fact that it’s like a part of the mechanics of the show—that the place where you reveal age and occupation is#at a separate locale is just interesting#but idk is this the same with like joe millionaire or the bachelorette home visit…?#like i guess with english dating shows the way you perceive a person changes when you learn about money#but#it’s not as if the conjugations of every verb you use changes when you realize your partner is older/younger#idk idk lol sorry this got long
