Pause caused by uncertainty
A short stop before doing or saying something because you are not sure or do not want to.
استعمال کا انداز:
[someone] shows hesitation before [doing something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse 'hesitation' with 'pause', but 'hesitation' specifically suggests uncertainty or reluctance, not just any stop.
