Could you repeat that? · I didn't quite hear/understand you?
This is a super common and polite way to ask someone to repeat what they just said. Maybe you didn't quite hear them, or you need a moment to process the information. It's a lifesaver in noisy environments or when you're distracted! 👂
💡 **Pro Tip:** While 'Say that again?' is usually friendly, your tone of voice can change its meaning! If you say it with a rising intonation and a curious look, it means 'Please repeat.' If you say it with a flat or annoyed tone, it can sound like 'Did you really just say that?' (implying disbelief or disapproval). So, mind your tone! 😉
When would you most appropriately use 'Say that again?' A. 🎉 When you're enthusiastically agreeing with a friend's brilliant idea. B. 🤫 When you didn't quite catch what someone mumbled in a noisy café. C. 🏃 When you're rushing to leave and telling someone goodbye.
