And My Comment:

Very interesting indeed.

Here's a small example from my own daily lives - during the past few months, I always need to remember whether I should say "Falëmindërit, Mirupafshim!" or "Hvala, [or is it "Vhala"? 🤷🏻‍♂️] Priyatno/Čao!", all the while "Спасибо, Досвиданя!" still sits inside my head - and, from time to time, I still needed to use "Спасибо, Досвиданя!" oftentimes, of course, I do get to say "Thanks, SeeYa!"... but such an unbearably long time it has been, 2½ years already, since I had last got to use "תּוֹדה, להתראוֹת!"...
