Las fórmulas de cortesía más frecuentes en el cine
«i'm sorry» es la frase que aparece en más películas de esta lista: 460. «of course» va segunda, en 446, y «excuse me» tercera, en 411. El puesto cuenta películas distintas, no las veces que se repite dentro de una misma película.
Cómo se cuenta
Cada puesto es el número de películas distintas de la biblioteca de WinkLingo cuyo diálogo contiene la frase. Si la frase vuelve dentro de la misma película, sigue contando como una. Si empatan, se ordenan por cuántas de esas líneas revisó una persona o un modelo, y luego por el nombre. Solo entran expresiones de varias palabras ya publicadas en el sitio; las palabras sueltas y los fragmentos no cuentan.
La biblioteca tiene ahora 1,000,000+ clips cortos, 1,000+ películas, 2,800+ capítulos largos y 1,800+ páginas de frases. Estamos ampliando hacia millones de clips y más de 10.000 capítulos, con películas nuevas cada semana.
Las cifras de la biblioteca se recalculan cada día. Esta lista se generó a las 2026-10-13 17:03 UTC.
