@ bold NO they cannot, and warning some spoilers

The dj isn't a Korean speaking martial artist just because the two are linked. Riley is Riley, and sun is sun. The two can communicate as themselves and access each other's body but that is the link. They do not have infinite potential to each other's knowledge base, or else they would never even have a need to communicate. This is demonstrated numerous times, lito getting shit on, wolfgang unable to lie or make curry bomb, list goes wayy on.




Quote (from wiki)
Sense8 tells the story of eight strangers: Will (Smith), Riley (Middleton), Capheus (Ameen), Sun (Bae), Lito (Silvestre), Kala (Desai), Wolfgang (Riemelt) and Nomi (Clayton), each from a different culture and part of the world. While living their everyday lives, they suddenly have a vision of the violent death of a woman called Angelica (Hannah) and discover that they are 'sensates': otherwise normal humans who are mentally and emotionally connected and who are able to communicate, sense and use each other's knowledge, language and skills. While trying to live their lives and figure out how and why this connection has happened and what it means, they are aided by another sensate, Jonas (Andrews), who is trying to protect them from "Whispers" (Mann), another sensate, who is similarly empowered and is hunting them down by tapping into their psychic link


So yeah.

Also the scene where the cop is in the prison and starts randomly speaking Korean without realizing it.

This question we are facing is a logical one not just semantics. In response to monkey - the wiki post explains they can "use" each other's talents which I agree with as seen in the show. Every episode we saw this actually. The question we are discussing is whether they "possess" each other's traits as their own.

The post directly above mine answers this though, I forgot about that scene. Perhaps as the sensates progress with their abilities they will become more aware on how to access each other's knowledge, but on the surface it hasn't happened yet. On the surface you have them in situations requiring help and another sensate comes to the rescue rather than the original in need taking intel unwillingly from another sensate.

Back to original discussion then, maybe monkeys critique is something that will become more relevant as time progresses and they truly understand how to utilize their sensate abilities. Example having Riley be a martial artist narcistic mob killing curry making expert taxi driver - all at the same time without requiring the other characters there on the spot. Being able to speak languages that another can speak and accessing their minds knowledge without consent kind of thing

Actually what I just described is exactly what the main antagonist does, so it it just the next step in their progression. He takes knowledge completely unwillingly for his own purposes.
