Random tip for university students: After completing my undergrad, I decided to apply for a Master’s degree and I needed to list academic referees to back up my application. I didn’t realise that this was something I had to do, so I emailed the professors I knew well to ask them if I could list them as my referees. They were kind enough to agree but I wish that I had created more of a rapport with faculty members so I could have been in a better position when finding out that I needed to do this. Make yourself known to at least a few of your lecturers so that you’re not left in a puddle. Most importantly, always be nice!!

No contamines tu corazoncito con rencor. Toma lo bueno que aprendiste de la persona que te hirió y desecha lo malo, que al final, lo único que ganas con guadar rencor, es hacerte daño a ti mismo.

Empty.

You know what I think is really cool about language (English in this case)? It’s the way you can express “I don’t know” without opening your mouth. All you have to do is hum a low note, a high note, then another lower note. The same goes for yes and no. Does anyone know what this is called?

These are called vocables, a form of non-lexical utterance - that is, wordlike sounds that aren’t strictly words, have flexible meaning depending on context, and reflect the speakers emotional reaction to the context rather than stating something specific. They also include uh-oh! (that’s not good!), uh-huh and mm-hmm (yes), uhn-uhn (no), huh? (what?), huh… (oh, I see…), hmmn… (I wonder… / maybe…), awww! (that’s cute!), aww… (darn it…), um? (excuse me; that doesn’t seem right?), ugh and guh (expressions of alarm, disgust, or sympathy toward somebody else’s displeasure or distress), etc.

Every natural human language has at least a few vocables in it, and filler words like “um” and “erm” are also part of this overall class of utterances. Technically “vocable” itself refers to a wider category of utterances, but these types of sounds are the ones most frequently being referred to, when the word is used.
