nmesomtoChukwuFebruary 2019 Do you mean 'mind your language'. If so, 'mind your language' can be used to tell a person not to be rude or not to say nasty things. |
exRangerMarch 2019 The phrase "to mind one's language", by implication, usually means to maintain a civil tone, not be rude, etc., just as you have surmised in your comment. The phrase "to keep your language" is more or less meaningless unless it is intended to convery the sense that a person who knows a language, but doesn;t use it and thus starts to forget it, should practice using it in order "to keep (ie, maintain) their language knowledge/skills". There's also an expression English speakers use, "hold your tongue", which means to tell someone to "be quiet" or "shut up", i.e., to be silent. |
nmesomtoChukwuMarch 2019 A very good elaboration.
Plater725March 2019 The proper way to ask your question is: Is it correct to say "keep your language"? As others have commented, let us know what you mean by "keep your language". If you mean to tell someone to watch what they're saying, then I believe the other comments have answered your question. If you have another meaning in mind, please let us know! |
