it's a... it's a...

As I blogged ages ago, I have trouble finding words at times. If this happened I just used the first word I could think of regardless of the language I was using at that time. It's frustrating. Some said I just need to concentrate. Probably they are right, but then again probably they dont. That's why I am interested to know why the tip-of-the-tongue happens.

According to this study, it happens more to those who are bilinguals.

It makes sense, that as bilingual knows more words, but uses less individual words than monolingual, bilingual will have more difficulty accessing certain words in its brain (especially those that are not use very often).

Oh well.. I just need to deal with it
