If someone uses an English idiom in a meeting and you don’t understand it, you don’t need to pretend.
You can ask clearly and still sound professional. You can also use these phrases:
🔵 Could you explain that another way?
🔵 Sorry, I’m not sure I understood that expression.
🔵 Just checking, does that mean this task is less urgent now?
🔵 Could you give me a quick example?
You won’t know every idiom in a meeting. That’s fine.
But if it affects the task, the deadline, or the decision, ask before you
reply.Save this for your next English meeting, and practise one phrase before you need it.
