"tipo" / cioè / in pratica
Explanation:
il "sort of" è un intercalare che io rendo quasi sempre con il nostro "tipo" messo tra virgole (vado, tipo, a ballare), ma anche "cioè" e "in pratica" ci stanno, a mio parere - anche i tre abbinati tra loro "cioè, tipo", oppure "cioè, in pratica" "tipo che..., in pratica.."
