“On my honor, Honestly“ shows that the speaker will not be honest.
“Ok?“ and “Yes?” placed at the end ofsentence forces the listener to agree withwhat was said.
“Only“ is used to minimize the significanceof what is to be said.
“Just“ is used to alleviate the guilt of a person or to deflect culpability for certainundesirable consequences.
“I am trying” in free translation means they have doubts about their ability to do that something and it is used by people that usually don’t get things done.
“Yes but“ tries to avoid intimidation by simulating an agreement.
“But” signals that the person was nothonest up to that point and contradicts the words that precede it.
“Believe me” announces a lie that will be asbigger as convincing it sounds.
“Sure,” wants to let it know that everyoneagrees with him.
“I wish I could hope for“ - is a wise way toprovide no opinion.
