The meaning of "Um" in various phrases and sentences
Q:
Co znaczy 「No less, um, having fallen off its horse」 from the movie Tar (2022)?
A:
Okay this brings to mind the story of the apostle Paul in the Bible.
Paul hated Christians and tried to kill them but he experienced a conversion. On a trip to Damascus he saw a bright light from heaven and was struck blind by God. Traditionally, he is often shown as having fallen off of his horse in his blindness and shock. When he recovered his sight three days later his conversion was complete...he had become a Christian.
Idk if this has anything to do with your question--but the name "Pauline" and the words "Pauline conversion" and "fallen off its horse" brought this Biblical story to mind.

Q:
um, guys, I know this is crazy. but today, rather now, I'm gonna ask you a really big and umm, a crazy question. and I'm telling you, this is a reaaally big question, so, guys who don't have enough patience, can just skip it. let's start!!!
well, first of all, I'm gonna write down a same passage in two different ways. just tell me if something's wrong in any passage. like verb, tense, any grammar, but not spelling. because I can make a few because of fast typing. so, here are the passages.
1.
The general people of our country are not so unaware of sanitation as they were in the past. Gradually, their outlook is changing. Now they are feeling the necessity of drinking pure water. In the village, people drink tube well water. They do not drink river water or pond water as they used to do in the past. They know that boiled water contains no germs. They also use some other processes in order to purify water. We expect them to be more aware about public health.
and no.2,

well, that's that. notice that there are some slight changes in some of the verbs in those passages. I really want you guys to point out any grammatical mistakes I've made or problems I've created in those two. well, this is just for my own satisfaction actually. so, it's okay if you think that I'm crazy or just skip it. so, yeah!! and to those who actually read this thing through, thank you very very much.
