I mean hutumiwa kujisahihisha unapozungumza, kama It's on Monday, I mean Tuesday, au kufafanua ulichosema: I like my job. I mean, it's not perfect, but the team is great. Ni sehemu ya kawaida ya mazungumzo ya kila siku. Inafaa kwa marafiki na wafanyakazi wenzako, lakini katika insha au barua rasmi, tumia in other words au for example kulingana na maana.

Kilichobadilika
Toleo la kwanzaLet's meet on Tuesday, it means, on Wednesday. Sorry, I'm tired.
Baada ya marekebishoLet's meet on Tuesday, I mean, on Wednesday. Sorry, I'm tired.
Unaweza kutaka kutumia it means kufanya marekebisho kwa sababu zote zinaonekana kusema yaani. Lakini it means hueleza kitu kinamaanisha nini: The light is red. It means stop. Unaposahihisha kosa ulilosema, tumia I mean.
Usichanganye I mean na I mean it. Ya pili ni nina maana kweli au sitanii: Don't be late again. I mean it. Kwa swali What do you mean? unamwomba mtu mwingine afafanue alichosema.
Zamu yako
The train leaves at 7:15, ___ 7:50. Sorry, I was looking at the wrong line.
Onyesha jibu
I mean — Msemaji kwanza alitazama mstari usio sahihi na kutaja saa isiyo sahihi, kisha akajisahihisha. Hapo unahitaji I mean. It means hueleza maana ya kitu na haifanyi kazi ya kujisahihisha katika sentensi hii.
Unapanga kukutana na rafiki na unakosea saa. Andika sentensi ambayo unasahihisha mara moja kwa I mean na kueleza kwa nini unahitaji saa nyingine.
Let's meet outside the cinema at six, I mean seven, because my class finishes late today.
