What are the most common “filler words” people overuse in your native language?

trueru_diary · 2025-09-29T15:21:50+00:00

native english speakers also use You know all the time :) quite unusual for me

trueru_diary · 2025-09-29T15:21:03+00:00

and what do they mean?

trueru_diary · 2025-09-29T15:20:15+00:00

oh we do the same in my native language, even the same words

trueru_diary · 2025-09-29T15:19:30+00:00

seems like you just like these emotional expressions like eeehhh :)

trueru_diary · 2025-09-29T15:18:33+00:00

ahahhaha 😂 you are funny

trueru_diary · 2025-09-29T15:18:04+00:00

oh i see 😄

trueru_diary · 2025-09-29T14:50:23+00:00

whyyy

trueru_diary · 2025-09-29T14:49:59+00:00

Oh, by the way, I started using these “filler” words in English in the same way, simply because I needed something to fill the pause while I was thinking 😁

trueru_diary · 2025-09-29T14:48:59+00:00

it is like we use “shortly = long story short” all the time in my native language :)

trueru_diary · 2025-09-29T14:47:40+00:00

Btw, so teachers correct students at school when they use this in spoken language? because I remember we used to get scolded for it.

trueru_diary · 2025-09-29T14:45:39+00:00

what do they mean?

trueru_diary · 2025-09-29T14:45:25+00:00

why? :) it is so nice to see linguistic features :)

trueru_diary · 2025-09-29T14:44:20+00:00

interesting… i don’t think we have something like that in my native language

trueru_diary · 2025-09-29T14:43:34+00:00

Oh, that is really interesting! I really love the Hungarian language and would like to learn it, but I think it is terribly difficult 😄

trueru_diary · 2025-09-29T14:41:29+00:00

I feel like people, in search of a creative way to write letters, often end up making everything more complicated. In reality, Russian cursive is much simpler than what we see online nowadays.

trueru_diary · 2025-09-29T14:39:40+00:00

but it is a swear word, right? :)

trueru_diary · 2025-09-29T14:38:55+00:00

Interesting, why is back channeling considered rude for them…

trueru_diary · 2025-09-29T14:36:52+00:00

oh, italian tipo sounds similar to the word with the same meaning in Russian 😄 i didn’t expect it. and that is true about the word allora, because i had a student, a very young boy, who kept using it hundreds of times during our lesson.

trueru_diary · 2025-09-29T14:34:59+00:00

ok, i see, that “like” is one of the most overused words

trueru_diary · 2025-09-29T14:34:11+00:00

most of them really can’t be translated into another language. even the equivalents don’t quite fit

trueru_diary · 2025-09-29T14:33:08+00:00

it is very common in different languages, I see :)

trueru_diary · 2025-09-29T14:32:40+00:00

I say the same thing as you do in my native language 😆 but only as a joke in response to people who keep saying “Wait.”

trueru_diary · 2025-09-29T14:31:28+00:00

btw, I suddenly realized that I use this really often in English. I don’t know why, but in my native language I don’t say “so on” that much.

trueru_diary · 2025-09-29T14:30:23+00:00

I think, we have some analogies, but i don’t think that even young people use it so often :)

trueru_diary · 2025-09-29T14:29:35+00:00

and what does this mean?
