The filler word "neige"
In conversation, you may find yourself at a loss for words, unable to find the correct phrase you are looking for, or simply needing time to gather your thoughts. When you experience this feeling, in English, you may say "umm" or "uhhh" or another filler word. In Chinese, the word for this is 那个 (nèige). (The word 那个 can be pronounced both "nàge" and "nèige," but for this usage, "nèige" is normally used.)

Structure
In English, words like "ummm" and "uh" are used as filler words when you're thinking about what to say. In Chinese, 那个 (nèige) is also used for this purpose. To English speakers not fortunate enough to be fluent in Mandarin this may raise an eyebrow because it can sound a bit "racist," but it's very common in Mandarin and you'll hear it quite often around Chinese speakers.

(那个⋯⋯) (那个⋯⋯) + [anything] + (那个⋯⋯)

那个 (nèige) can be inserted into sentences wherever you need to pause for thought.

Meminds me of this comedian

Lui Yung
it actually pronounce "Na Ge", but if you speak fast or in some accent, it sounds really like "niga", which means "that one" or just a spacing word. fun thing is, niga means "you" in korean lol

Carl Wong
I am from the southern part of China, and the word 那個(那个) does not sound like the N-word because of our accent. However, I told some of my friends to avoid saying that word too frequently when they are in America (we are free to say that in China)

Stone Cai
“那个”（nager）which means "that one" , is pronounced like the N word

Harry Hao
Well actually only some of us use that word 那个 sometimes...I know this so every time in front of black people I tried to remind myself not saying that.
