Tall Tales: Slangs: Michelle

Zimi?: This is a really cool, slangy way to say “you see me?” or “do you understand what I’m saying?” It’s used to check if the person you’re talking to is actually following your train of thought. If you’re explaining a complicated math problem to a friend, you might pause and say “zimi?” to make sure they get it before you move on to the next step. It makes the conversation feel really interactive and ensures that nobody is just nodding along while being totally confused.
