👉 Staccatos are pauses in a speech or conversation that occur when the speaker is trying to convey something quickly, but they do not fully articulate it. This can happen for various reasons such as fatigue, a sudden change in mood, or simply because the speaker wants to be brief and concise. The term "staccato" comes from the Italian word "scattato" which means "cut off," indicating how the speech is interrupted abruptly without full expression of meaning.
