[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where four people are out to dinner and they all speak one language at least passably well, is it polite for two of them to carry on a conversation in a language the other two cannot understand?[/quote]

I mean sure let’s dive into every conceivable situation, but yeah…as long as the other two are previously engaged in conversation. [b]If my girlfriend and I are discussing “The Real Housewives of Potomac” and the other husband asks my husband about his new job or his recent golf outing, that’s fine. It’s not like their discussing nuclear arms deals or affairs. [/b][/quote]

In your examples, the people carrying on the conversations are from two different households.   That is different from the OP's situation.   If you wanted a valid comparison, you would say "If one husband and wife are talking about something pertaining to only their household."  For example, if the husband starts asking the wife about the painter they hired, and whether they should choose the blue paint or the aqua, and which one of them will be home on Tuesday to let the painting crew in, etc.  Yes, this also would be rude to do in front of others.[/quote]

You literally just posted a completely different scenario from the OP’s, and I responded to it. Asked and answered.[/quote]
