Posted on: What is this called?
July 23, 2009, 12:52 AMJust wondering, in the same way native speakers will say 那个 as a pause in conversation, (I've also heard 这个， 这个... quite a bit), is there a Chinese equivalent of 'um'?
I seem to use it a lot when trying to speak, but as an English word in a Chinese phrase it sounds pretty unnatural. Is there any equivalent interjection apart from those already mentioned?

I get this error.

January 23, 2011, 07:35 AMA quick question: I have learnt that when referring to leaving something behind, 拉 is apparently a colloquial term and is seldom used in written Chinese (我把什么东西拉在什么地方了). Is it the same with 落? Or is it a bit more formal？
Cheers!
