Here are some expressions you can use: 

Giving your opinion

So I think…

It seems to me…

In my experience/country/family…

Checking

Do you mean….? 

Are you asking…?

Are you talking about…?

Thinking time

Hmmmmm…

Let me think (about that). 

I’m not really sure…

I haven’t really thought about that before. 

Complimenting

That’s a good question.

Good point. 

Choosing not to answer

(Change the subject.) It's so hot/cold/rainy today! 

Hmm, that’s a little personal. 

I’d rather not talk about that.
