Repeating themselves in one sentence?
Is there a word or phrase for people who repeat themselves over and over in one sentence but in different ways.
I work with this lady and for example, if i say to her "are we able to get this apple". and if its a no, normal people say "no we cant" however, she will respond with....
"no we cannot get the apples, we are completely out of those apple so they are not available so we cannot get those apples as we have non of those apples"
she responds like this we everything, saying the same thing but in different ways in one sentence.

Repetitive.
It does seem to occur in some cultures/languages for emphasis,
but it just sounds like you are not the full shilling in English.
