Um.. Well.. You know...
Conversation fillers
Every language has it's little "fillers" — Things to say that don't actually mean anything, but are used when you want to change the direction of the conversation, when you don't want to give a direct answer, when you encounter some awkward silence, or when you're simply looking for the right word. "Well..." "So..." "Anyway..." French is no different. Tuck a few of these into up your sleeve for those occasions.
-
alors... = so, then...
allez... = right then...
eh bien = well...
enfin... = well...
bon ben... = well, anyway...
c'est-à-dire... = what I mean is...
vous savez... = you know...
tu sais... = you know...
euh... = er...
