mizansinha007 1) I don't understand. 2) I have not understood. If you want formal, say I do not understand.

If you are talking about something that you don't understand right now in conversation say, " I don't understand."
If you are talking about something in the past, you can say "I have never understood...". For example: " I have never understood Einstein's theory of relativity."
