Thank you for this. My kids are bilingual in Dutch / English and often make up such words.
I like that they'll use words from different languages in the same sentence. School disagrees though. I've once heard someone say that bilingually raised people have a higher chance of becoming schizophrenic, although I really doubt that has any major influence.
I have one good reason for not doing that, the main reason for language is communication, if you mix two languages, the other person needs to know two languages to understand you, instead of 1,so we try to stick to one, chosen based on context
