Did you understand?
Hi guys.
Just a curiosity, I'd like to know how I can ask "Did you understand?" in a different way.
I already know expressions like "Caught it?", "Got it?" (or something like that... I don't remember well)
I wonder if I could say it differently.
Thank you all.
(Sorry for my English...)

Hi Silviante, Does that make sense? Did I clarify that for you? Did I explain that okay?

Hi Silviante,
Does that make sense?
Did I clarify that for you? Did I explain that okay?
Note: Be careful with things like "Do you get it now?" or "Do you understand me?" because with the wrong tone of voice it can sound either threatening or belittling. Keep the emphasis on whether YOU made it clear, not whether THEY understood.
Capice?

There's "capeech," or maybe it's "capeesh." I'm not sure how to spell it, but it's supposed to be an Americanized version of the Italian, used in movies about the Mafia. The boss mob guy says to the foot soldier mob guy, "So, tomorrow we gonna pay a little visit to Tony, and if he ain't got the five large, we take him for a little ride. Capeech?"
This may not be helpful to you, though

Hi,
'Got it' is fine when you understand something someone has explained to you, but 'caught it' isn't very natural, I think.

Hi,
Sorry, I didn't catch what you said.
This is a colloquial way of saying 'I didn't hear clearly what you said'.
