When House tells the mother that the daughter is pregnant, he's not just getting back at her for blaming him for the wrong medication, it's also his way of showing her what could have happened if you mix medication up; because the mom was taking the birth control and the kid was taking the cold medicine.

If you’re operating under the assumption House is on the other side of the language barrier, it could be interpreted as him just waiting on the daughter to clarify the mother’s words-he blinks and looks at the daughter expectantly. But after your first viewing, and with the context that House knows enough Mandarin to call out the daughter’s bullshit, it’s more “he looks at the daughter *expectantly.”*

I like how House learned several languages solely to eavesdrop on people since he doesn't want to talk to them.

This scene always reminds me of a female doctor from Venezuela I worked with at a German hospital (during my time as a nurse in training). She didn't have a good grasp on the German yet, but she did a great job when it came to her work. So I often was with her as an interpreter (German -> English and vice versa) and helped her learning the language. She was very thorough, which also meant that she needed more time than a lot of other of her colleagues. We had a married couple who weren't happy with that and so they talked bad about her in Spanish. They probably thought "Well, we can't do it in German or English. Let's do it in Spanish. That will work". It heavily backfired on them when she chew them out in her native language and even reprimanded them for making grammar (IIRC) mistakes. I don't remember what they or she said (she told me, but it was around 10 years ago), but it was hilarious enough. There was also another incident during my school years when we visited the KZ Natzweiler-Struthof in France. We waited outside of a building when a group of french students walked out and then made place so that we could go in. Some of those students said something akin to "let the Nazis go through" as well as some other insults in French. Sadly for them we had students who had French lessons and therefor understood what they said. Let's say it got a little bit heated Until our Kazakh went haywire and shut everyone down in Kazakh (which no-one understood), while also switching to French, German and English in-between. Fun times. Fun times indeed.

If you don't take that chance, the arse part comes into play later and he will take pride in outing you.

Sure if u were born to speak it since young u may thought so, but for a foreigner learning completely from scratch it would definitely be extremely hard for most of them.

@@AccountInactive well I didn't imply anything about it being the 'most difficult language' at all tho, but imo it's definitely not easy at all. Sure maybe u can speak and understand a few words or sentence quite comfortably without learning the Chinese characters as u said. But if u don't have a solid grasp in recognizing the word and expression of a given sentence (the hard part) , does that mean u had learned that language? Not at all imo Unlike quite alot of language that has a fix set of characters (Ex. A-Z) to form the sentence of that language, thus u being able to relate to new words with maybe some already existing sentences or phrase. The Chinese language relies on a completely different system to structure their characters and to recognize a Chinese character and its expression on a sentence requires a vast amount of knowledge as it doesn't really follow as convenient of a structure compared to English as example. Yes maybe Icelandic is harder as u say, maybe German might be harder for some other people, but that's not my point. I'm arguing about Chinese being not easy to learn at all to learn as u implied. I myself speak about 5 languages, eventho Chinese is my mother tongue, I can definitely see why foreigner would be having a harder time to learn a language such as Chinese as compared to most other language.

This is why its never good to assume someone doesnt speak your language because they dont look like they do. So many people caught being assholes speaking other languages because they feel safe doing so. Some of my favorite stories are red faced people called out for it.

One day while she was standing in front of him she said to her sisters in Chinese "This guy is a crackpot" or something, and he said in perfect Mandarin "Oh you speak Chinese? I would like the fried rice, please." My mom ran back to the kitchen freaking out, but they became good friends after that.

Nailed a (thankfully) temporary trainer on this. She was negatively criticizing me in French (which I’m near fluent in because I’ve been speaking it since I was 5) she said I was “too slow” with finishing a transaction. (Apparently clarifying I got the order right is going to slow) I go to the back to get some napkins and cutlery and I say “ je parle français’ ( I speak French ) she gave the deer in the headlights look. So after the lunch rush I say to her can I speak with you for a second? I say “Je peux gérer les critiques, mais fais-moi une faveur la prochaine fois, ayez la décence de me dire en face, merci” (I can handle criticism, but do me a favour next time, have the decency to say to my face, thanks) she was about to chew me out my actual boss said “ he is right you know?

I wish I could have had that glorious moment while working retail! I was a good associate but you'd get customers insulting you directly to your face in their native language, with a smug smile. I could always figure out what language they spoke, but not what they were saying, but I've always been on point with body language. Body language tells all! I can't remember how many times I'd endure being insulted or talked about (even though I was always helpful and was patient with every customer), that I'd finally get sick of it and just give them an honest but polite look, as if to say "I know you're insulting me.' while asking them if I could help them with anything else. Or better, if I could pin point the language, I'd remark "Oh, you speak [language], I've always wanted to learn that but unfortunately I don't have an ear for it, beyond recognizing it!" They'd do a quick 360 and be flattered that I had even the smallest interest in their language. 🙄 I don't care who I'm around, even if I assume they don't speak my native language, I'd never talk about them or even insult them directly to their face. How do people do that!?
