Este...uhhh

Question

Is the word "este" used like "uhh..." or "ummm..." often?

I am asking this because of this video from this thread, and I am specifically referring to this post.

I've heard "bien" or "vale" used a "filler", never "este".

Or what about "quizás"? Is that like the word "like" in English? - SonrisaDelSol, Oct 9, 2011
