There’s a reason why people say ‘Um’ or ‘Ah’ in a conversation! What is it?
We’re all guilty of using the words ‘um’ or ‘ah’ while trying to figure out what we are going to say next, especially when we are nervous. Are you wondering why we make these unusual sounds while trying to think? Well, Dr. Stephen Juan believes he has the answer to this mystery. The reason that we say ‘Um’ or ‘Ah’ while we’re talking is because these sounds are what are referred to as ‘neutral vowel sounds’.
