Expressions that are easily misunderstood in English

Expressions that are easily misunderstood in English are as follows:

1, do you understand?

In order to prevent information errors in communication, we often need to ask others if they understand our expression. But just ask one person: "Do you understand?" It seems to be reprimanding each other and saying, "Do you understand!" With its own high filter, others will feel uncomfortable when they hear this question.

What did you say?

If you can't understand or hear clearly what others say, ask them "what?" "What did you say?" It's impolite.

I have no time.

I want to express "I don't have time"! Many people blurted out "I don't have time!" This is easy to misunderstand! You know, for foreigners, "I have no time" means that there is not much time to live.

You go first.

Sometimes, in order to show our courtesy, we always say "you go first" when getting in and out of elevators or other places. Although there is nothing wrong with the expression "you go first", there is a little command in it. In fact, all you have to do is say "You go first, I'll come later".
