Russian "Verbal Fillers"

[Sergei Adamovich]

Hello,Udut,
Here are some "verbal fillers" in Russian:
"ponimaete li..." (ponimaesh' li...),"vi ponimaete...", "vidite li...",
"slovom...","s pozvolenia skazat'","kstaty skazat'","chto
nazivaetsia...","dumaetsia..." "zamechu","v obchem","mejdu tem",  "tak
skazat'...", etc;
 "i tak dalee","i tak dal'she", "i tomu podobnoe","i drugie',"i pochee
prochee";
                                Good luck,
                                Marina Adamovitch,
                                Continent
