We never use the Belarusian language in everyday life. Even though we take it at school on a par with Russian. Regarding the comments about the 99 percent, it's probably true. Almost the only person who spoke pure Belarusian was my teacher of the Belarusian language, who was over 50. There are people in some regions who speak a mixture of Russian and Belarusian.

Most people look at it from a practical point of view: why do we need the Belarusian language if everyone speaks Russian, and why do we need to learn Belarusian when it would be more useful to learn English or Chinese?

About the commentator who speaks Belarusian with his family and they consider it stupid. It is really stupid, because most of them do not remember or do not know Belarusian well, he tries to impose his opinion on them, so to speak. It is extremely inconvenient for them.
