"Actually" and "Basically" hoy! na buang naka?

[floppy]

---

Actually, we use it to emphasize that something someone has said or done is surprising but basically, we use it to indicate that a statement summarizes the most important aspects of a more complex situation.

these words are often misused. but i don't use these words often. actually is used in correcting statements

say friinstance, your friend tells you it's friday today

and you say, actually, it's thursday

now, on the basically context, you try to sum up the basic points in a nutshell.

instead of pointing out a thing in a narrower sense, you try to make it broad, that's when you use the word basically

example: basically, florida blanca's beauty is stunning.

Whenever you get the chance, listen to a recording of yourself speaking. Basin kaw pod infected na

I'm 39 years old, way older than most of you, and I've been using "actually" and "basically" (in context) since I started to speak English as a child. So how does this relate to your "infection"?

In my observation, you people fuss too much about things that don't need much fussing over.

Actually and basically are fillers also...

In linguistics, a filler is a sound or word that is spoken in conversation by one participant to signal to others that he/she has paused to think but is not yet finished speaking.[1] These are not to be confused with placeholder names, such as thingamajig, which refer to objects or people whose names are temporarily forgotten, irrelevant, or unknown. Different languages have different characteristic filler sounds; in English, the most common filler sounds are uh /ə/, er /ɚ/ and um /əm/. Among youths, the fillers "like", "y'know", "actually", "literally", and "basically" are more prevalent.
