5 de dic. de 2006 · I think there is a narrow meaning and a wide meaning. The narrow meaning is words like "umm" "err" "ah" and "uh", that don't express meaning or change meaning. They only prevent someone else from speaking, allowing the speaker to "still have the floor" while finding new words. The term "filler" works for that, I think.
27 de jun. de 2013 · Jun 27, 2013. #4. I agree. "Distinguished" usually means that the person has received acclaim, perhaps even medals or honorary titles. These are independent of whether we like or even honour then. "Honoured" means that the speaker (and presumably the audience) deem the guest worthy of esteem. This is independent of whether they have received ...

24 de nov. de 2021 · Whoever is allowed to speak "has the floor", and (when the rules allow) can "give the floor to" someone else. We don't talk about "having the floor" in other situations. TV news shows have one person talking (to the audience) at a time. Often there is nothing said when it switches to a different speaker. Sometimes people say "over to you, Roger".

I was present at the event when he won = I did not participate, I just watched. This would also apply to a political event: the speaker takes part in it, the audience are at it. S.
I think this can be matched in English with "this one is different to the one ..../this on is different from the one..." a (to): bears a nuance of comparison. de (from): bears a nuance of separation, that's why with the verb "diferir" only "de" is acceptable because it implies "separation". Hope it helps.
15 de nov. de 2012 · I just had a call with my native speaker friend(US accent), but his voice was on and off, I am running out of vocabulary for describing it, and he didn't know what I was talking about.
