I find saying "Sorry (pause) What was that?" better than "What was that sorry?" Because the "Sorry" prepares them. As a deaf person, I say this a lot, and with people wearing masks, I'm like "I'm terribly sorry but I'm deaf and I need to lip read, is it possible you can remove your mask and repeat that?" As I rely on lip reading and I'm glad your videos come with subtitles.

In aviation radio communication, it is critical to understand exactly what Air Traffic Controllers say, so if a pilot (who often is, like me, a non-native English speaker) doesn’t quite catch it, there’s a standardized request: “Say again”. It might not be the most polite or posh request, but brevity is at a premium over the radio.

I prefer "Say again", or "Say again, please". Short and straight to a point.

[@goldeneddie]

The trouble is, the shorter you make it, the less polite it sounds. That's why 'What?' is really impolite. Even "Say again, please" would seem disrespectful if you were asking for directions, talking to a person you just met, or talking to your boss. 'Sorry?' is unique because it's short but still very polite.

[@cole2rocks]

Could you repeat that, please?

[@tamarakaramyan4852]

Max Whitestone we use this form in Russian, but when we translate directly into Eng - it seems too rude

Thanks for the excellent episode, Lucy. It's most helpful. As a native Chinese who grew up being taught British English, we learnt and took 'pardon' as a standard way to request repetition.

Hi Lucy! I really enjoy this channel and the way you present your contents!! I just recalled when I started studying English and how much I struggled.

Hence, hearing the same sentence again wasn’t that helpful. Instead, asking for rephrase the sentence allowed me to understand what they wanted to say to me as well as learn different ways of explaining the same concept

A variation of #7 that is taught in military communications is "say again, please". Commonly used if there is a bad connection and the message is garbled. It's also very useful in conversation as it has a neutral feel, is clear in the intent, and is inoffensive.

In Chile we transform catch in that meaning into the verb cachar, so we translate “i didn’t catch that” as “No caché” in chilean spanish

I think Lucy would be a great actress. She says lines really convincingly, plus beauty and charm

We used to learn "I beg your pardon" at school. It was too long to pronounce, but usual for us. And now I'm discovering, that it is posh 😂 Many thanks to my school teacher!

I've been using "pardon?" since school. sounds better that "WHAT?"

[@mohammadfarukhahmad6712]

@@oldrrocr I completely agree with you.

[@mohammadfarukhahmad6712]

I have also learned pardon?/I beg your pardon. I owe to the person/book a lot. Are you a French. French 'excusez moi' means 'excuse me' in English. 'C'est Moi' means 'you are welcome'. Am I right?

@@oldrrocr it really depends on tone, pardon can also come across as sounding condescending or like you're offended
