I will answer for Québec only as I'm not sure for France. You could say "tu sais" (you know) but pronounce it fast [tsé] or use "comme" (like) or "genre" (kind). But it's best not to use parasitic words...

You're question is not clear Eliran :/ Do you mean "like=similar to", or "like=to like something" ? Any way, the first one is "comme" : Don't talk like that = Ne parle pas comme ça. The second : (V. aimer, vouloir, plaire, souhaiter, avoir envie..) Do whatever you like = Fais ce que tu veux Sit wherevver you like = assieds-toi où tu le souhaites I like classical music = J'aime la musique classique Please reform your question so that I can answer you :)

We have also in France, in Belgium and in any french-speaking country expressions without any meaning which is used just to fill the sentence or to emphase the sentence. The most common in Belgium is "une fois" but there are also expressions like "vous savez...", "vous voyez"... About "like", I confirm, you can replace it by "comme" or "tu sais". "T'sais" is also used but familiar. It's in the sense of similarity I found the term: Colloquial quotative Another link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKTVvg0ABBQ
