Na šta ste mislili? Da li u stvari hoćete da mi kažete?
Nekad je i na maternjem jeziku teško da pitamo nekog da nam pojasni nešto.
U ovom tekstu delim sa vama 10 korisnih rečenica koje možete iskoristiti kad vam je potreban clarification ili pojašnjenje onog što strani sagovornik pokušava da vam kaže.
1. What do you mean by … ?
,, Na šta ste mislili bi bio prevod ovog izraza
Pristojnija verzija bi glasila: “I’m not sure what you mean by ….”
Sorry, what do you mean by that?
I’m not sure what you mean by ..... Can you please clarify it_
2. I don't understand
Nekad je neophodno da budemo jako direktni, pogotovo ako smo par puta pitali za pojašnjenje.
Sorry, I don’t understand your comment, can you please explain it again?
Hmm, I’m not sure I understand. Could you explain that again
3. I’m confused.
Ako ste zbunjeni ili prosto ne želite da kažete jednostavno I do not understand možete i ovaj izraz upotrebiti.

5. What do mean … ?
,, Na šta ste mislite?" , takođe se veoma često koristi.
