I feel like

Hello everyone,

Is "like" in "feel like" just a filler redundant word? What does it mean?



Kristin: Well, no, I wouldn’t say that, I feel like it has been pretty good care, it’s just, the timing, y’know, you’ve got to be there right on time. They expect that of you. And yet you could just sit there waiting for hours once you are there…

" needs to be separated into two sentences, with either a period or a semi-colon between "that" and "I", instead of a comma. ", is a positive sentence, leaving no doubt as to the care being good. ", is less positive.

Not exactly. In casual speech it substitutes for 'feel that'.
