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

#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

#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
