Asking a coworker to re-explain: Explained too fast and need them to go step by step

💬 [du] takes the [kannst] form here. Swap the person, and the verb changes too: [Kann ich ...?], [Können Sie ...?]

💬 [noch einmal] is a very reusable way to say "again" in requests: [Sag das noch einmal.] You'll also hear [nochmal], which means the same thing in everyday speech.

💬 In a sentence with [kannst du], the full verb goes to the end: [Kannst du das noch einmal erklären?] That same pattern shows up with other verbs too: [Kannst du mir helfen?]

💬 With [kannst du], the main verb moves to the end: [Kannst du das noch einmal erklären?] Same pattern: [Kannst du das wiederholen?]

🇩🇪 This is natural with a coworker you're on [du] terms with. If your workplace is more formal, switch to [Können Sie ...?].

🇩🇪 At the start of a request, [bitte] softens it and makes it sound more cooperative, not bossy. In workplaces, that small word matters.

💬 This is the [du] command form of [erklären]: [Erkläre ...]. With [Sie], it changes to [Erklären Sie ...].

💬 This uses the [du] command: [Erkläre ...]. For a more formal version with a coworker, use [Bitte erklären Sie das noch einmal.]

🇩🇪 A direct command can sound sharp unless your tone is warm and the relationship is casual. With coworkers, a question like [Kannst du das noch einmal erklären?] is often safer.
