what??

how would that work???, living alone in the jungle until adulthood and only then learning?

or is a shit americans say kind of thing?

not sure what OP meant, but it reminded me of the forced assimilation of peoples in a colonial setting, where a potential scenario is that

  • the grandparents speak their native language fluently, and the dominating language almost not at all
  • the parents speak both the native and the dominating language, but badly
  • the kids speak the dominating language fluently, and the native language almost not at all

So in that case the parents can be seen as not having a proper native language, because they have two languages they can sorta make work, but can't fully express nuance and complex thought in either.

Then said language is not their native language.

The nativa language is the first one you learnt as a kid, the one your parents taught you.

So it is a "Shit americans say" after all.

That was a joke but I agree with Kazerniel
