    The document discusses various ways for people to ask for clarification or repetition in a polite manner when they did not understand something that was said, including phrases like "I beg your pardon?", "Sorry?", "Could you say that again, please?", and "Would you mind saying that again?". It provides examples of more direct phrases like "What?" and "Come again?" that are less polite. The document suggests using milder requests that avoid directly acknowledging that the speaker did not understand.
