Japanese transition word/phrase "teyo koto de"(??) meaning and proper usage?

Question:


So I hear this all the time and cannot find any information about it. It is usually said very fast so I am not sure I spelled it right. (Sometimes it sounds like "TOyo koto de" sometimes "TE...") Any explanation (with any applicable kanji too (: ) would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Answer:


I think it's either "toiu koto de" or "teiu koto de" to be accurate.

Well, it's used in many ways.

One usage is "well" or "then", when you want to start conversation.
