Why do multi-lingual people seemingly, with no reason, switch between languages while talking to someone who is also multi-lingual? What benefit does it have over staying with the language they started the conversation with?
Code switch is comfortable. It also is something that explains who you are without you needing to explain it out loud. People who can speak your language already get you, and some phrases are just more expressive in another language or just don’t translate very well.
