No I can't think in Tamil.


But then that means you can't speak Tamil either.

I can. I speak tamil fluently at home. I could probably think in Tamil for a bit if I forced myself to do so but I always think naturally in English.

I could but I can't naturally just think in Tamil. I would have to force myself to do so. I learned both English and Tamil from as soon as I could speak.
I can speak brazilian Portuguese, English, German and French and I can think in English, Portuguese and German.
