Cách sử dụng
The expression "words to that effect" is used when you want to say something similar to what was said before, but not exactly the same. It means that you're paraphrasing or summarizing what was said, rather than repeating it word for word. For example, if someone said "I don't have time for this," you could respond with "You're saying you're too busy, words to that effect." This expression is useful for when you want to acknowledge what was said but also make it clear that you're not repeating it verbatim.
