    Favourite Expressions

    Have you notice that we have a tendency to use some expressions more often than others?
    I remember a professor of mine in the university he was repeating the expression: certainly after each sentence.
    A friend of mine always uses the expression: Do you agree? in every sentence.
    The repeated expressions reveal based on my opinion the character of the person that is using them.
    For example the person who uses words like: certainly, with doubt, beyond any doubt means that it has a strong character and always wants his opinion to prevail ... or he is just a stupid over-confident like me.
    A person who uses the words: probably, likely, I don't know it means that is not so certain for his self.
    Do you agree?

    For me my favourite expressions are:

    1. Без сомнения
    2. Повторение мать учения
    3. Шаг за шагом
    4. Наверняка
    5. Хочу жрать как волк
    6. Попытка не пытка
    7. Кто не рискует тот не пьет шампанского
    8. Удача любит смелых
    9. Сомневаюсь в этом
    10. Деньги могу все
    11. Понятно
    12. Настаиваю
    13. Я не против
    14. Каждый думает в меру своей воспитанности
    Чем больше слов, тем меньше они стоят.
