言葉の意味がよくわかりません。別の言い方で教えて下さいって英語でなんて言うの？

The two sentences you see provided above are great ways to ask your listener if they can say what they just said in a simpler way. In the first sentence you will see the verb simply. This means to make something easier to understand. This word is appropriate for both formal and informal settings. It would make a great addition to your vocabulary.

Could you please repeat that in simpler words for me? I'm not sure what you meant so can you say it again only with easier words? I would like you to say that again in other words ok? I want to understand that better so can you repeat it in simple terms?

When someone says something but you don't understand - and you want to tell them that you don't understand, and want to ask them to say the same thing in a different/easier way, you can try one of the baove suggestions. 'Could you put that in words of one syllable please?' is a euphemistic phrase for: 'Please simplify that.'

"Can you simplify that?" and "Can you dumb it down please?" These two phrases are used to ask, normally if you are unable to understand what someone has said, if they can 'simplify'/'dumb it down'/use easier words so you are able to understand them.

If someone answers something that I do not understand I would ask them to explain it again, and if even after they have repeated themselves I still did not understand I would politely ask them to simplify it and slow it down. Hopefully they would find a suitable way to explain it with simple vocabulary.

"I am sorry, I don't understand. Could you please explain?"- This shows you are trying to understand the person you are talking to without offending them. This will help them to see you are eager to learn and they will simplify what they said earlier. "Could you please repeat what you said in a simple way?"- This is directly asking the person to use easier words when speaking to you or explaining something to you. "I do not understand, could you please use simpler English?"- This shows the person you are speaking to that they are using English words you may not yet know. This helps them to simplify their way of talking so you can understand them.
