לימא כתנאי
Shall we say this is like the tannaim?
-Introduces a tannaitic source to suggest that the controversy in the source about to be cited is about the same issue now being disputed between amoraim in the current discussion (this is problematic because amoraim should not present their views independently if they are actually tannaitic- so this suggestion is usually rejected).

לא שנו אלא… אבל…
They only taught… but…
-An amora limits the scope of a tannaitic source: this source only applies to the following circumstances (but under other circumstances a different rule would apply)
חד אמר… וחד אמר…
One says… and one (the other) says…
-This phrase is used for a debate between two rabbis, when it is not know which one held which view
תסתיים
