What are the most common “filler words” people overuse in your native language?

I have been thinking about those little words that find their way into almost every sentence when people talk casually. Not just “uh” or “um,” but the ones that become a kind of background noise in conversations :)

For example, I really love how Germans constantly add "genau" (“exactly”) all the time, sometimes after every other sentence 😄 We laughed with my German friend because of it. In Russian, we can’t live without "Ну" (“well…”) or "Понятно" (“got it”). In English, we might hear “like” a lot.

And what are the filler words or “speech parasites” that people in your language can’t stop saying? 😄 Do you also catch yourself using them without noticing?
