How to fill a silence?
Sometimes I get asked questions in Turkish, it takes me like 10 seconds to form an answer... and in the meantime, I get quiet and just say "uh.." and that's awkward. Can you please provide me with any and every silence-filler that you can think of for Turkish?

Put yourself into the scenario, imagine I asked you a question that you don't know how to answer immediately. What could you say?

eg. 'Well, I'm not sure how to answer that...'
'Hmm, let me think...'
'I think that...'
'You could say that..'

Things like this will be great, and I'm looking for as many possibilities as possible :)
