What you should understandआपको क्या समझना है?
- Buy time with a full sentence: 'That's a good question - let me think for a second.'
- Natural fillers are 'Well...', 'Actually...' and 'You know...' - use one, not five.
- Check the question instead of guessing: 'Sorry, do you mean the last project or this one?'
- Avoid long 'aaa...' sounds; a short silent pause sounds more confident.
