Chinese phrase
能不能再说一遍？ néng bù néng zài shuō yí biàn

Could you say that again?
When to use it
This is a polite way to ask someone to repeat what they said. It is common when speech was not heard or understood, and sounds softer than a direct command.

Sure, I will say it again. Listen and see which part is unclear.
