would you write a suicide note that is not in your language?

[onthelastday]

my suicide note is quick and objective "reasons to die" "reasons to live" and "things I want". but i wrote in english, which is not my mother tongue. can this get confusing? would you do something like that?

Why did you even write it in English?

I might write mine in Tagalog or Icelandic just to cheese off the coroner. I'll use the English to Tagalog or Icelandic translator to write it.

I think it's better in english

In my case, the only language I know is English. In my opinion, the whole point of a suicide note is to send a message to those left behind, for example to provide closure or make them understand why you have chosen to do this. I would choose to write a note in the language that I spoke fluently as I would not want them to misunderstand what I am trying to say.

I'd personally use both my native language which is Arabic, and English to write my note. I find it easier to express myself in English than in arabic. However, I'd still want them to understand what I'm saying so I'd also use my mother tongue.

No. I guess I could just say "Auf Weidersehen!"

I could, but no reason to.
