What you should understandआपको क्या समझना है?
- Speakers often mean more than they say: 'That's one way to do it' can be a polite no.
- Listen for hesitation and a flat tone - they usually signal doubt, not agreement.
- Phrases like 'to be honest' and 'actually' often introduce disagreement or a correction.
- If you are unsure what someone really means, check it: 'So are you saying we should wait?'
