'you know'

How can I distinguish between 'you know' as an interjection and 'you know' in a clause? So sometimes do native English speakers happen to misunderstand each other because of these kinds of problems in conversations? Thank you as always and I hope to hear from you.

Hi, The context usually makes the intended meaning clear. Moreover, as an interjection the phrase usually involves pausing briefly. Clive
