Hola. I was just wondering what the correct spelling of this word people seem to say a lot when they don't know what to say next (in Spanish) that, to me, sounds like "este" or "es de". It's used a lot like the "words" in English "like", "um" and "uh". Thanks so much!

You are referring to the word Este and your equivalents in English ("like", "um" and "uh") are right on the money.

Does "pues" work in the same capacity? - rheit, Oct 5, 2012
