This article explores common colloquial molds and their role in the realization of politeness strategies in contemporary English discourse. The study is conducted within the framework of pragmatics and sociolinguistics, focusing on how everyday conversational expressions contribute to maintaining social harmony and managing interpersonal relations. Relying on the politeness theory developed by Brown and Levinson, the paper analyzes the use of positive politeness, negative politeness, off-record, and bald on-record strategies in spoken English. Particular attention is paid to such linguistic devices as modal verbs, indirect requests, hedging expressions, inclusive forms, and compliment strategies, which serve to mitigate face-threatening acts in communication. The findings demonstrate that colloquial molds function not merely as informal speech elements but as effective pragmatic tools that enhance communicative efficiency and politeness. The study emphasizes the importance of pragmatic competence in English language learning and intercultural communication.
