    Простите? (Как правило, используется, если вам показалось, что кто-то сказал что-то неприятное или обидное)

    Excuse me?

    Простите?

    This is confusing, I don’t really see what you’re getting at.

    Я запутался, не понимаю, к чему вы ведете.

    I’m sorry but I don’t understand.

    Простите, но я не понимаю.

    I don’t quite understand you.

    Я не совсем вас понял.

    don’t understand you very well.

    Я не очень хорошо вас понимаю.

    I don’t really understand what you mean.

    Не совсем понимаю, что вы имеете ввиду.

    I don’t understand a single word of it.

    Ни понимаю ни слова.

    What I don’t understand is why he decided to do that just the other day?

    Чего я не понимаю, так это, почему он решил это сделать только на днях.

    I don’t follow you.

    Не понимаю тебя.

    I don’t get it!

    Не пойму!

    I’m completely lost!

    Я совершенно запутался!

    I’m totally confused!

    Я совершенно запутался!

    I am a little bit puzzled.

    I’m afraid it’s beyond my understanding!

    Боюсь, это за гранью моего понимания.

    I’m sorry but it’s too vague.

    Простите, но это слишком неопределенно.

    I’m sorry but I don’t see the point.

    Простите, но я не понимаю смысла.

    I’m sorry but I don’t follow your train of thoughts.

    Простите, но я не могу проследить за вашим ходом мыслей.

    What puzzles me is the way the committee decided to select a winner.

    Что мне непонятно, так это то, каким образом комитет решил выбирать победителя.

    Как попросить дать разъяснение?

    Таблица 2.

    What do you mean?

    Что вы имеете ввиду?

    What’s that supposed to mean?

    И что это значит?

    What does he mean by this phrase?

    Что он хочет сказать этой фразой?

    What’s the meaning of that word?

    Каково значение этого слова?

    Would you be more specific?

    Вы не уточните?

    What are you aiming at?

    К чему вы ведете?

    I don’t see what you’re driving at.

    Я не понимаю, что вы хотите сказать.

    Could you explain it in detail please?

    Вы не могли бы подробно объяснить?

    Could you clarify this point, please?

    Вы не могли бы пояснить этот момент, пожалуйста?

    Could you write that down for me, please?

    Вы не могли бы это написать для меня?

    I’m a bit confused. Would you mind explaining that?

    Я немного запутался. Вы не могли бы объяснить?

    Can you start again please, it was too quick.

    Вы не могли бы начать заново? Это было слишком быстро.

    Can you repeat please?

    Не могли бы вы повторить?

    Can you speak up please?

    Не могли бы вы говорить погромче?

    Does that mean that you failed to explain her behavior?

    Это что, обозначает, что тебе не удалось объяснить ее поведение?

    Just to check that I haven’t misunderstood anything: was the answer yes or no?

    Просто чтобы проверить, что я все правильно понял: ответ да или нет?

    So, in other words, are you saying that we won’t be able to offer better conditions to our customers?

    То есть, другими словами, ты хочешь казать, что мы не сможем предложить нашим клиента условия получше?

    I’m afraid my English is not very good. Could you say that again more slowly, please?

    Боюсь мой английский не на очень хорошем уровне. Вы не могли бы еще раз это сказать, но помедленнее?

    Sorry, I didn’t understand that word. Could you spell it for me, please?

    Извините, я не понял это слово. Не могли бы вы произнести его по буквам?

    • If you are claiming that the speaker unintentionally chose the wrong word then you are implying it. If you are guessing that they chose the wrong word then you are inferring it. I’ll not change it so you may make the point on your own. A good phrase is has a tin ear for the word choice to imply a tone deafness of meaning or propriety.

      May 10, 2021 at 4:35

    • @Elliot I apologize for not fully understanding your reply. Nevertheless, would you take my example in the question and rewrite it to indicate that I know for sure he unintentionally chose the wrong words?
