If you can speak several languages, then you can also notice that in the moment before choosing which language to express something in, you already “just know“ what you mean.
At that point even if you don’t turn it into words, you know the thought anyway.

I usually manage to find the words after a pause but the gap between the experience of the sense I want to express and its verbalization can feel huge.
