What are Spanish Filler Words?
Filler words are little words and commotions like “uhm”, “so”, “well”, “kind of”, “I intend to say”, “right” and “you know”. They’re called filler words since we use them to fill in the holes while we’re contemplating what to say straightaway.
Each language has their own arrangement of filler words. A couple of models in Spanish are:
Bueno
Pues
Eh
Ok
Oye
Spanish speakers use them all the time in normal and unconstrained discussions.
For what reason Should I utilize Spanish Filler Words?
To sound more local when you communicate in Spanish, filler words are an incredible spot to begin. They’re convenient for two reasons:
They get you thinking time
Whenever you communicate in Spanish, you could have an apprehensive outlook on having long stops while you ponder what you need to say straightaway. Yet, even local Spanish speakers waver now and again and when they do, they use filler words.
On the off chance that you can utilize the very words that local speakers use when they stop, this will assist you with remaining in “Spanish” mode while you put together your considerations. You’ll seem to be somewhat more familiar, even while you’re faltering!
They make you sound (and feel) more Spanish
Filler words don’t change the significance of a sentence – the sentence would in any case appear to be legit without them – however they have a major effect on how your discourse sounds. Envision I pose you this inquiry:
¿Quieres ir a la biblioteca? Would you like to go to the library?
Without filler words, you could answer like this:
No.
With filler words, you could offer something like:
Pues… ahora mismo, no… Hmm, not at the present time, no.
Sprinkling in some Spanish filler words is a piece like adding fixings – they’re not the principle fixings, but rather they add a ton of Spanish flavor. At the point when you use them, you’ll feel more Spanish and your discourse will sound more normal to Spanish ears.
All things considered, not all Spanish filler words are something similar. There are different filler words for various circumstances, so it’s vital to figure out how to accurately utilize them.
To assist you with dropping them into the discussion easily, Nacho from Nacho time Spanish is here to show you some Spanish filler words and how to involve them, in actuality. Beneath the instructional exercise video, you’ll likewise find:
