🍯 Teacher's Tip!

💡 This expression is super versatile! You can use it in a casual chat with friends or in a slightly more formal work meeting. It's polite, clear, and shows you're engaged, but just need a little clarification. Avoid using "What?" as it can sound abrupt. This phrase is a smooth operator! 😉
