Talking in Shades. Using Hedging Language in English

                                    Talking in Shades. Using Hedging Language in English

Hedging Inglés in English is the verbal tiptoeing of communication. It’s the “probably,” “possibly,” and “maybe” that add a touch of uncertainty to our statements. Instead of a firm “yes” or “no,” we throw in “probably,” “maybe,” or “could be.” It’s a verbal safety net, keeping things open-ended. So the next time you are asked, “Will you be attending a meeting?” feel free to respond with “I’ll probably be there”.
