¿Qué es una muletilla?
En general, son palabras o frases que son repetidas con frecuencia por el interlocutor quien intenta plantear una idea para la cual no encuentra o no tiene las palabras necesarias o acertadas. Las muletillas si son usadas repetitivamente pueden empobrecer el idioma y la comunicación ya que son expresiones innecesarias que no llevan implícito ningún valor o contenido informativo. Estas frases suelen ser vacía y sin sentido ya que se emplean solo por hábito.

¿Cuál es su significado? 
Según el diccionario de la Real Academia Española define muletilla como “voz o frase que se repite mucho por hábito“. Es decir, es una palabra o una frase innecesaria que se repite en una conversación, por costumbre o como apoyo al hablar. 

En realidad, puedes eliminar las muletillas de la frase y no cambia el sentido, mira estos ejemplos:

1. ¿Sabes hablar español, no?
-   Sabes hablar español?

2. A ver, yo te entiendo pero tú sabes, es complicado…
-   Yo te entiendo pero es complicado…

3. El otro día fuimos a cenar en plan todos los amigos juntos.
-   El otro día fuimos a cenar todos los amigos juntos.

Aunque sean innecesarias y sean repetitivas, esto no quiere decir que no se usen en el DÍA A DÍA. La realidad es que todos tenemos preferencias propias en cuanto a las muletillas, normalmente no las elegimos, sino que nos las vamos apropiando conforme nos vamos relacionando con los hablantes nativos.

En definitiva, las muletillas son una pieza más del puzle de la comunicación y del Español.

¿Qué son las muletillas del lenguaje? 

Travelers often fly to New York or Paris just for the shopping experience, but according to a new report, it's Milan that should be called the capital of global shopping.

A real estate company has found that Via Monte Napoleone in Milan is the world's most expensive retail destination.

US firm Cushman & Wakefield ranked shopping areas based on the rent prices per square meter, and Milan has knocked New York's Fifth Avenue off the top of the list.

The average rent on the Milan street has risen to more than $20,800 per square meter compared with about $20,300 per square meter on an 11-block area of upper Fifth Avenue.

Via Monte Napoleone's small size — it's just 350 meters long — and walking distance to services and top cultural sites are among the street's key advantages, according to Guglielmo Miani, president of the Monte Napoleone District association.

"Not everything can fit, which is a benefit" since the limited space makes the street even more exclusive, said Miani.

The biggest brands on the street make more than $100 million in annual sales, Miani said, which goes a long way to paying the rent. Tiffany is preparing to open a store on Via Monte Napoleone, and luxury fashion store Fendi is expanding.

The Monte Napoleone District says 11 million people visited the area during the first 11 months of the year, but there's no way to say how many were big spenders and how many were just window shopping.

But according to shopping firm Global Blue, the average shopper on Via Monte Napoleone spent $2,600 per purchase between August and November — the highest average receipt in the world.

Officials from Fifth Avenue praised Milan for its efforts in making the street — and the city — a desirable place to shop.

But they added that the Italian city should enjoy its position at the top of the list while it can!

Halo! Apa kabar semua? Semoga semua sehat ya! Hari ini adalah awal minggu. Biasanya, Hari Senin adalah hari yang sibuk untuk saya. 
Akhir-akhir ini, hampir setiap hari saya suka mendengar lagu dari salah satu penyanyi terkenal di Indonesia. Sekarang, Dia adalah penyanyi yang sedang "naik daun". Artinya di Bahasa Inggris, "Now, He/she is a rising star or now, he/she is becoming a popular singer". Di Bahasa Jepang artinya 今、ノリに乗ってる歌手。Siapa penyanyi yang sedang naik daun di negara kamu? atau menurut kalian, siapa artis dunia yang sedang naik daun sekarang ini? 
Saya suka mendengar lagu sambil bekerja atau belajar. Saya bisa lebih berkonsentrasi. Bagaimana dengan kalian? Kalian juga suka mendengar musik atau lagu sambil bekerja? 
Ok! Hari ini sampai di sini, selamat belajar, selamat bekerja ya! Sampai jumpa lagi! ^^
